    Conveniently located to Fort William. All amenities were thought of and well executed and the homeowner was very attentive and helpful. They were able to accommodate an early check-in for us which was incredibly helpful given our travels to get there. We enjoyed the property a lot and only wished we had stayed longer.

  • "- the teflon pots and pans are no longer usable - the fireplace on the ground floor does not work (statement by caretaker) - The door on the upper floor of the small sleeping room does not remain locked and keeps opening - washing machine and dryer were totally dirty and stink despite our cleaning - sockets and more light in the bathrooms would be nice - keep spare batteries accessible."

    so we had to buy these for heating valves. caretaker had brought the wrong ones.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Oak Cottage."

    We were 3 generations and it gave us great space, storage, just about everything we needed to cook and eat. The large dining table was spot on. The Cottage is well furnished v comfortable and relaxing to stay in, with a variety of books. It is in a lovely place with ever changing views of Ben Nevis. It is a short drive to Fort William, an easy walk to Neptunes Staircase and good access to many other places of interest. The owner was in touch before during and after our visit, not in an intrusive way, simply checking that we had everything we needed, nice level of attention. Thank you Martin for providing such smashing accommodation.

    Many thanks for taking the time to give the feedback it's always a pleasure to read that guests have enjoyed the house. It certainly is a great spot to enjoy the views of Ben Nevis and to explore Lochaber. Property Owner

    The views of Nevis range are exceptional depending on the weather obviously but on a clear moment it's stunning. Neptune's staircase is at the end of the road and Fort William literally round the corner. The owner of the cottage is on hand via messaging or phone call with any advice on the area or issues with the cottage or just general questions regarding your stay, he is absolutely brilliant. All in all we had a fantastic week and will always return to the Highlands.

  • "The views from this house were staggeringly beautiful, and made any other minor issues worth while."

    The kitchen was a bit under-equipped, the fridge was in poor state with no veg drawer. The owner had contacted us and apologised for the state of the downstairs bathroom floor, which we much appreciated. A lack of serving bowls, necessary in a party of 8. No light in downstairs en-suite. I think there were other things, but I cannot remember now, so they cannot have been that important. But these minor discomforts were more than compensated for by the magnificent views of Ben Nevis!

    Thank you for your feedback, and I am pleased you loved the views. The fridge has been repaired and I have purchased serving bowls thanks so much for the suggestion. The downstairs en suite light has now also been repaired. Property Owner
