• "Horsley Cottage was absolutely delightful."

  It was a well equipped comfy retreat in a stunning location. The welcome pack was a lovely touch after a long journey. Strontian is a stunning peaceful place with some great walks/hikes from the cottage door. Hotel bar is very dog friendly.

• "Horsley Cottage has been beautifully presented and sits in a mature spacious garden, perfect for enjoying outside space and for doggy family members, as safe and secure with parking for two cars."

  Inside, Horsley Cottage has everything you could possibly need for a family holiday or just a relaxing break. Little touches by the owner give this Cottage a beautiful cozy feel with throws, cushions, excellent bed linen and comfy pillows. Cannot compliment this property and its owners enough.

  Hi there, thank you very much for your great feedback, so happy that felt warm and cozy in our wee cottage and enjoyed the surroundings. Elaine & Steph Property Owner

• "Well presented cosy property."

  Lovely garden and seating area. Had two dogs with us who enjoyed the garden which was secure. Local shop has a good variety of things as no main shops close by and the Ferry is not running so it makes it a long trip if you want to get anywhere.

  Hi there Thank you for your great feedback, happy to hear you enjoyed the cottage and local surroundings. The Corran Ferry has now resumed service which is much welcomed with locals and visitors to the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. Elaine & Stephen Property Owner

  The dogs loved exploring the garden , we found wonderful walks and beaches . We found the locals extremely friendly and helpful . Our only slight niggles were the ensuite sink due to its position was difficult to use , and the clothes wrack was quite flimsy for the weight of the close .

  Well equipped kitchen. The garden is perfect. Step outside the door and go for walks through the woods, 5 minutes to the local hotel and bar. Dog friendly and good bar food. I would love to go back it most definitely was a home from home.

• "We had a lovely stay at Horsley Cottage and especially loved the cottage garden."

  Blessed with great weather, we were able to make best use of it and, of course, the dogs loved it. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and met all of our needs. Excellent base for exploring the area, would recommend Ardnamurchan Point, Sanna Bay and the amazing woodlands around Strontian. Thank you Elaine and Stephen for a great week.

  Hi Anne Marie Thank you so much for your great feedback of the cottage and overall area here in Strontian Ardnamurchan. You were certainly blessed with fantastic weather and glad you had time to explore and enjoy your stay at Horsley Cottage. Kind regards Elaine & Steph Property Owner

• "Perfect in everyway."

  A beautiful, clean, comfortable cottage, well equipped with everything in a peaceful setting. The garden was beautiful and very secure, which was great for our lively Spaniel. A lovely welcome basket of treats left for us by the friendly, informative hosts who although live nearby, never intruded on us . Strontian is a lovely, quiet place with stunning walks right on our doorstep. We were made to feel so welcome by everyone and will definitely return one day.

  Having travelled and worked around most areas of Scotland over many years, this area was one of the forgotten corners we had not previously visited, but it was well worth it, and no doubt we will be back again in the future. Many thanks !!

  Everything in the cottage worked really well and was missing nothing. A thoughtful gift box on arrival and nice to find a ready supply of everything needed for the stove. The weather was not on our side but never stopped us doing things. Great day out to Morar Sands and Mallaig which could easily have been extended to Skye in the summer. Thanks again.

  Hi there Thank you so much for your great feedback, I wish I could have waved a magic wand for the sun to come out for you, the weather was pretty awful however, you did get out and about to visit some lovely parts of the west coast.

• "Really enjoyed our stay at this cute cottage."

  Had everything we needed , the attention to detail in making the cottage so clean and comfortable was exceptional. Right down to the gorgeous soft bedding fluffy towels and beautiful traditional Scottish hand soaps ( we bought some locally they smell so good!) The enclosed large garden was perfect for our two dogs and watching the wide variety of birds on the bird table each morning. The perfect base for travelling. It’s the most beautiful place well worth a visit everyone we met was very friendly and welcoming. While driving along the highland roads we saw herds of deer , seals in the lochs and sea eagles , foxes and woodpecker. The walks on the door step of this cottage were brilliant. The highland cows driving over heather bank were amazing! You can drive for ever in this beautiful part of Scotland and see the most spectacular views , wild life the lochs and snow on the mountains. I’d be more than happy to stay at this cottage again, there’s so much more to see and do in the highlands. We can’t wait to come back ! Thank you Elaine for such an enjoyable stay x

  Hi Tracey Thank you so much for your great feedback and kind words. Really happy that you enjoyed your stay in our wee highland cottage, the area is so beautiful and it’s great that you had some wonderful wild life experiences and explored the area. You are very welcome to come back anytime, maybe we may see you again x Ps. We hope you enjoy your next adventure on The Isle of Harris and Lewis! Property Owner

• "The house was spotless."

  Living room and bedrooms nice. Strange what looks like plastic stags head above the fire but that's a matter of taste. Now the rest unfortunately: House needs a bit of TLC small things like there's a bulb missing in the living room light fitting. The kitchen and bathroom (nice room) are dark The kitchen sink worktop has a cut out for a Belfast but is fitted with a countertop vanity basin with a pop-up plug not as high or expensive, so it doesn't drain properly because bits get trapped. Any water that goes around the edge ends up in the cupboard below. The worktops are wood and haven't been sealed so absorb water not very hygienic. The fridge had been turned right down and the light isn't working, so we were not sure it worked (it did when I turned it up). Inside top of microwave has a crust. No instructions for the cooker (it's complex) and a knob is broken. TV is run from the internet we could only get a few niche channels and ended up watching BBC iPlayer, a bottom end Sky package solve that. Outside, there is no proper paths to the door you have to walk across the grass onto some stones that were slippery, my wife went on her backside when we were packing up. As a CMIOSH I can say with an amount of certainty that there is no way the insurance company will pay out in the event of someone getting hurt when the owner has prior knowledge. Location is OK as long as you love driving (which I do) much of which is on single track roads, but you are in the Scottish Highlands so don't meet too much traffic. I hate to be critical it's not normally my way and in the greater scheme of things all of the above is not tragic and we enjoyed our stay. But the property does need some investment especially for the amount being charged in relation to similar properties in the area. Particularly as new luxury modern lodge parks are being built in the region.

  Dear Guest Thank you for your constructive feedback, we take all comments in to consideration. The cottage is 130 years old and is by far not perfect, that’s what adds to the charm of the cottage and location. It’s a shame this was not the right property for you, the location and single track roads are exactly what makes the highlands a special place to visit, in particular the Ardnamurchan peninsula. If modern lodges are your idea of a great holiday then maybe that could be your next choice vacation. You are right, it’s not tragic, it’s our offering of a typical highland cottage that’s presents a warm, cozy, dry and clean place to stay together with a great garden for both pets and children to enjoy. We hope your next vacation is more suitable for your requirements. It’s a pity you didn’t mention any of the above issues to us on arrival, or before you left.

• "Delightful cottage and excellent accommodation."

  Elaine called to make sure we had settled in and were happy with everything. One of the nicest holiday cottages we have stayed in, a boutique establishment I would say. The weather was not too kind so the comfort of the cottage was most appreciated. Lovely walk in the Community Woodland yards from the cottage with magnificent trees - some named. The Welcome basket with a lovely bottle of wine was a nice touch and much appreciated. If you would like a holiday in an unspoiled part of Scotland this is the place for you and you would be fortunate if you were able to stay in Horsley Cottage.

  It’s a beautiful cottage with an impressive garden. The cottage is tastefully furnished and the location is well-placed as a base for exploring the region (though there are also lovely walks very nearby). The hosts, Elaine and Stephen, are friendly and welcoming but unobtrusive, available if needed but respectful of privacy. I would definitely recommend Horsley Cottage.

  The photos on the site do not do the cottage justice, especially the garden which is stunning. There are beautiful woodland walks from your doorstep and a little beach 15 mins walk out of the village. The cottage was immaculately clean and well equipped if I had to be pressed for a negative it would be the toaster the cottage would benefit from a robust toaster. and also a print out of the cooker controls would be helpful. A dish washer when on holiday would be nice. The hosts Elaine & Stephen lovely people and very helpful with local knowledge.
