If travelling from Helensburgh, take the A814 towards Garelochead for four miles, passing through the village of Rhu

In Shandon, one and a half miles beyond Rhu, turn right at the "Ardchapel" sign (it's the one shortly after the turnoff for "Stuckenduff/Queenspoint"). Turn immediately left onto a slip road.

Garemount Lodge is the second entrance on the right and the first house up the drive.
