Things to see around Rhumhor Holiday Lodge – The Grey Seals

One of the great things about staying on Loch Goil is the wild life on your doorstep. We saw some of our favourite creatures yesterday as on the loch between Carrick Castle and Lochgoilhead is a grey seal colony.

The easiest way to see the seals relaxing on the rocks is to hire a motor boat and view them from the sea. The boats are easy to drive, have a cover and take up to eight people so they are ideal for a day trip out.

The seals are just a few minutes away from the boat hire jetty and they really do let you get quite close. Provided you are quiet they lie there and pose for photos, maybe raising a head to look at you or flapping their flippers. We counted 14 seals in the colony yesterday, some of them obviously young pups.

When you stay at Rhumhor Holiday Lodge you’ll find details of how to book a boat in our information pack, or you can visit the website www.lgc-motorboathire.co.uk for more details.
