“Lovely cottage clean and tidy.”

Beds very comfortable. Close to shops and main attractions. Unfortunately their was a mix up with bedding which was no fault to the owners but to the cleaners you can't follow simple instructions or read English. Spoke to the owner who was very apologetic. Followed the guidelines on the sykes cottages covid-19 page about taking your own bedding, pillow cases and towels.

“Morvich cottage ideal for a steady stroll into fortwilliam.”

Good choice of restraunts. The cottage looks a little tired on the outside, could do with a little paint, gutters leaking and roof full of moss. Interior was perfect. Mr Huggins

“The cottage was so well equipped, it would be great to have this info on the website as I needed to have taken lots of things with me.”

The cottage was so warm, well cared for and perfect toy located.

Mrs Guiness July 2019

“It's a nice, spacious cottage, with fantastic views, not too far to walk into Fort William.”

The owner was helpful trying to sort out some issues on our arrival. There was no loo paper provided in the en suite and just enough for 1 use in the main bathroom, so this needs to be improved as it caused some inconvenience. Towels were a little late to arrive too. We could have used some bin liners, laundry detergent and more washing up liquid. It's not practical to buy whole packs for 1 week. We found it quite hot and stuffy at night. We couldn't open the bedroom windows because of the road noise keeping us awake, even with ear plugs in. Perhaps some thinner summer duvets would help? The bed was comfortable, if a little small, we're used to king size. The guttering needs some maintenance, when it rained there were quite a few leaks. This wasn't a problem for us, just thought the owner would want to know this.

“I would definitely book it again”

We would have no hesitation in recommending Morvich Cottage. It was clean, cosy and comfortable. It was probably the most pleasantly furnished place we’ve ever rented with views of the loch from the sofa. The photos and description are an accurate representation of the cottage and Fort William. You get to the cottage up a very steep drive with a sharp right-hand turn at the top and then drive past the adjacent property to the parking area. On arrival, our first impressions were a bit disappointing. The outside of the property is not very welcoming; quite plain with no flowers or shrubs, just weeds, and although the windows were clean the frames were covered in cobwebs. The bench outside, under the living room window, hadn’t seen a coat of paint for a long time and looked bit rickety. Fortunately, this sad first impression was replaced with a happy one when we went inside. The kitchen had everything we needed, the living room had plenty of comfortable seating and the bedrooms had decent sized beds and were not cramped. It was just as it was advertised on the website. Even in the best places, there are sometimes things that niggle. Some can be put right and some can’t. I hope this can be seen as constructive criticism when I mention a few. Once I got into bed I had a comfortable night’s sleep, but the mattress was so soft, especially at the edges where it just collapsed. I nearly fell out of bed once when I got too close to the edge and the mattress gave way. After the first night we stopped using the en suite bathroom just before going to bed, and during the night, because it has an extractor fan that runs on for at least half an hour after the light is switched off and is quite loud and irritating. We made use of the washing machine and used the “economy” wash which went on for about three hours. Between the extractors and the washing machine, I’m sure the electricity usage could be reduced. Lastly, it would have been nice to be able to sit outside on a solid bench surrounded by a few pots, full of flowers or shrubs, overlooking the loch. If we were to go back to Fort William I definitely would book this cottage again and if it wasn’t for our first impression and the few niggles I would give it five stars for everything.

“Lovely stay on the loch”

We had a lovely stay in Movich Cottage during some wild weather in Fort William. The cottage was cool in the day but really caught the heat in the evening, which wasn't great for sleeping but you would have had that anywhere in the country. It's a nice short walk away from Fort William town centre (5 min drive) but there isn't a great deal to see in Fort William so you really are best taking your car so you can venture to Ben Nevis or beyond. Our only small gripes with the cottage were that the bathroom smelt of cigarettes, an odour that never went despite our best efforts, and the guests from the local B&B occasionally tried to take the parking. Other than that it we couldn't fault it.

Mrs Barber March 2019

“Cottage was in a nice setting, rooms a good size, nice and warm, comfy to come back to after the very changeable Scottish weather.”

Lacking a bread bin and a rubber mat for in the bath. It was well equipped, beds comfy even the low ones.

Blair March 2019

“I informed you of the illness of two people in my party one month prior to our intended arrival.”

I did not receive the promised refund and am very much disgusted with your company. We are presently making our reservations for October and rest assured that Sykes Cottages will not be considered for our stay. This is poor business practice as I come to Scotland every other year. Brooke Blair

Mrs Ringland August 2018

“What an amazing cottage.”

..everything you could possibly need. Fully fitted kitchen, comfy beds and a stunning view. I would highly recommend this cottage to all my friends and family. So much to see and do in the area. Neptunes Staircase, Highland Wildlife Park and The Jacobite Steam Train are a must. Also try the little fish and chip shop on the High Street excellent food.

- Mrs Ringland, August 2018
Mrs Grierson June 2018

“Morvich Cottage is a well equipped cottage with lovely views across Loch Linnhe.”

It's a pleasant walk into town either along the shore or on the footpath. The owners had even provided a set of binoculars for spotting the wildlife. A pair of dolphins were spotted several times playing as they came up the loch.

- Mrs Grierson, June 2018
Mrs Lambert June 2018

“An amazing cottage right on the Loch.”

Fully fitted kitchen. Lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. Easy access to Fort William both on foot and by car. Good range of supermarkets if you wanted them. Fabulous fish restaurant and plenty of other eateries. Within driving distance of Skye, Oban and Loch Ness. We will definitely return

- Mrs Lambert, June 2018

“Great location with fantastic views.”

Comfortable and clean cottage. Only issue are the showers - supplying very limited water. Also extractor fan switches on the ceiling - out of reach!

“perfect Highland Holiday Home !!”

The cottage located in a stunning area on Loch Linnhie more than lived up to our expectations - clean, comfortable and cosy. Close enough to walk into Fort William and great base for exploring the surrounding areas. The cottage had all that you could wish for on holiday and was a delight to return to after a long day exploring. Plenty of space to move around and keep all your belongings - and absolutely great views out over the loch - you certainly don't need a TV to keep you occupied - just look out of the windows !! Would recommend the following : Crannog and Munro restaurants, Inverlochy, Urguhart and Dunstaffnage castles, as well as Glennfinnan Monument (and viaduct), Neptunes Staircase, Caledonian Canal, Fort Augustus and Loch Ness as well as Oban, the road to Strontian - amazing views - and brooding Glencoe. So much to see and do - we have vowed to return to Morvich Cottage and Fort William

“Perfect cottage in Fort William”

Following a five day stay in East Kilbride near Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games, my wife and I plus another couple booked Morvich Cottage for the following week. Without doubt, it was as described with easy access to the main town of Fort William either by foot or car. The cottage was well appointed, very clean and the views from the lounge sofa were simply stunning. We were unable to find any major fault and it was perfect for the four of us. The location was excellent. We had the main bedroom with en-suite and I enjoyed a substantial daily shower. The bed was also very comfortable. The cottage was located close to a number of walks. As a professional photographer, it was a pleasure to be able to take a camera and tripod either early morning or late into the evening across the road and onto the beach to capture some stunning views. I've included a few of these and also a couple of pictures taken from the lounge window. To sum up, this is an ideal cottage from which to tour the Highlands, centrally located and well appointed. Just one further quick note - we found the owner most helpful and informative.

- Simon L, August 2014
Mrs Graham July 2014

“The cottage is very cosy and well equipped.”

The view of the loch from the windows is fantastic and we watched seals and porpoises regularly. The location is great for visiting Glencoe and surrounding areas. The drive through Glencoe is a driver's dream!

Mr Frew June 2014

“The view over the loch was breathtaking.”

The Cottage was an excellent starting point for visiting Inverness to the north and Oban to the south. We also had a cruise down the loch where we could see the Cottage with Ben Nevis behind it. We have some stunning pictures.

“Would recommend this cottage”

Very, very comfortable cottage and very well equipped. The views are great and the landscape changes daily. Spacious enough for us four adults. It was amusing to see the lady swimming past in the loch most mornings (very brave for March). Good location for the highlands and only about a 15 minute walk into Fort William with its quite vast array of places to eat. Would love to return to this cottage and visit the highlands once again. Very reasonably priced too.

Mr Kirton October 2013

“Lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and warm.”

The view was to die for, and the shops about 15-20 minutes walk. Enjoyed plenty of local walks. If going to Fort William again, would love to book cottage again, enjoyed staying at the cottage very much.

“We had a lovely holiday.”

The cottage was very nice, comfortable and we felt at home straight away. The views were wonderful from the living room. we have been to Fort William a number of times and thought the cottage was the best we have stayed at. It is not the most modern accomodation that we have rented but by far the best. We would definitely stay there again.

“Comfy cottage with beautiful view of loch & hillsides with water”

Plenty of space in the cottage for all 4 of us. The view from the front windows was amazing. We could lay in the double bed & look at the waterfalls coming down the mountain at the other side of the lock. We sat & played games in the sitting room, looking out at the loch & even saw a seal. The house had everything we needed, the kitchen was really well equipped too. An easy walk into the town with lots of choices of places to eat. Fort William is great as a base point to travel to Skye, Fort augustus, Glencoe, and the beautiful beaches on the road towards Mallaig.

“Lovely but some quirks”

We booked through Sykes and overall enjoyed our holiday but there were some quirks (self cater a lot) that meant haven't rated it excellent - arrival time when booked was stated as 3pm but on contacting to arrange key collection was told property only available from 3.30pm - drive/parking tricky and although could park two cars would require cars to be parked in particular order. - freezer in shed - cold on arrival as heating off bar one night storage heater. It took a day to warm up as uses night storage mainly - had to turn on water heating and fridge on arrival and asked to do this on departure too. Finally more could be made of outdoor space I.e. chairs, outdoor drying facilities etc. Overall would recommend especially as now quirks won't be a surprise.

“Does exactly what it says on the tin!”

We wanted to spend a week exploring the Highlands & chose Morvich Cottage for its location as well as the facilities/scenery...Wow we were not disappointed! The cottage itself was beautiful & felt like home the minute we arrived, there was nothing more we could have required for our stay. The views are exactly as advertised...STUNNING! Fort William itself was just a short walk away, with Ben Nevis, Glencoe & other towns within easy commute. You wont be disappointed if you stay here!

“comfortable, cosy and convenient”

We had a great week at Morvich Cottage. Despite wet weather, we were very cosy and comfortable. not an old, quaint cottage, but we still enjoyed it and the sitting room views over the Loch really are amazing - and settee is at right height to sit and enjoy it. the carpets felt new, really nice and thick underfoot (weirdly this is one of the first things we noticed!). it was nice and light (big windows). it had every mod con we needed including games/books/other thoughtful touches. there was plenty of space, eg with 2 bathrooms, so we all had the space we needed. there is a fairly main road right outside,ie below the paved patio, which i'd been concerned about, but actually it wasn't an issue. it was very quiet at night, and we were out most days. we didn't think much of Fort William itself, not a pretty place really, just a stunning setting by the loch and as the publicity goes, it was a convenient centre from which to explore the area: ie ben nevis area (recommend trip up by cable car!), and the Harry Potter Jacobean steam railway (which goes over the viaduct where the dementor attack took place!), Glencoe, Skye, etc. stunning area. we really appreciated the homely touches and the care by the owners in this cottage. it was about 20 min walk into the town. maybe they could make the outside patio more attractive, and move the bench onto the main paved area. we only found the bench round the left corner at the end of the week - but this isn't an issue. and how often is the weather good enough to sit outside very much anyway!? a lovely place to stay. I would recommend it.

“Very comfortable cottage with excellent views”

We were delighted to find on our arrival firstly that the views are exactly as portrayed without standing on a chair to see. Really comfortable and has everything you need for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. It was only a 20 min. walk into Fort William and to get a boat trip on the loch. Would reccommend highly
