The Boathouse Restaurant is a scenic lochside dining spot on the Ardgour side of Loch Linnhe, just across the Corran Ferry from Fort William. Dogs are welcome inside for lunch and dinner, making it a practical stop if you're touring the quieter west side or need a proper meal without leaving your dog in the car.

The menu covers restaurant-style mains and lighter daytime options and the calm atmosphere suits dogs who can settle under the table. It's open Wednesday to Sunday, with evening service mid-week and lunch and dinner at weekends, so it's worth checking the schedule before you set off.

The lochside setting and relaxed pace make it a useful refuelling point after ferry crossings or coastal walks around Ardgour. There's no need to rush your dog back to the van—everyone can sit down together and enjoy the view.
