  • "Our new favourite cottage."

    Perfect position near town but with lovely walks right from the door. Lovely owner too who only introduced herself to ask us not to worry about the candle holder we'd broken. Lovely cottage, lovely location, lovely people. Highly recommended.

  • "3rd visit to this property."

    Clean and homely feel, ideal for the restful break we wanted. Can walk easily into town but also straight into the hills and countryside. Comfortable bed, love the open fire. If I had to be critical I would suggest the owners made a mistake not spending a bit more on the recent bathroom update. Although perfectly functional the new large shower cubical shouts out for a power shower.

  • "We enjoyed our stay and certainly would book again, should we be in the area."

    It is located a 10 to 15 minute walk from the shops, pubs and restraurants which was great. The only criticism is that the kitchen/diner was not really big enough to fit the table even though there was only 3 of us. I suspect that four adults would find this to be a problem.

You are welcomed by a cosy living room, hosting an open fire for the winter months and an electric fire for the warmer months, along with two plush armchairs and a sofa, the group can look forward to snuggling up to watch TV after a long day of exploring your surroundings.

From here, make your way to the kitchen/diner where you will find all the appliances you need to rustle up tasty meals for your group throughout your stay, including an electric oven and hob, a microwave and a fridge freezer, along with a handy washing machine to freshen up your clothes.

When sleep calls, make your way to the bedrooms; you will find a double bedroom fit with a plush double and storage for your belongings, finished with delicate floral artwork.

Moving through the property, the second bedroom hosts two plush single beds, ideal for children or friends sharing, complete with striking red artwork and finishing touches.

Outside, the graveled garden is home to a table and chairs, providing an alternative dining arrangement for dinner throughout the summer months, or even just an escape for your morning coffee while admiring the distant mountain views.

You won't be short of activities to uptake while staying at the property; the local area is known for its magnificent skiing opportunities at Nevis Range.

Adventurers and explorers will be pleased to discover Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain is just a short distance from the cottage, perfect for those looking for a grand challenge.

The nearby town of Glencoe boasts some of the most diverse and dramatic landscapes in the country and is home to an abundance of activities such as the Glencoe & North Lorn Folk Museum and the Kinlochlaich Gardens, which surround the historic house and boast a range of plants which thrive in the mild climate.

There are plenty of historic sites for the history buffs of the group, including Old Inverlochy Castle,13th century ruins resting on the banks of the River Lochy, and slightly further afield, Invergarry Castle near the Glengarry Heritage Centre.

Give the chef of group a break from the cooking on evening and treat your family to a meal out at one of the nearby restaurants in the Fort William town centre; The Geographer offers a variety of flavours from around the world concocted with local produce, or if you fancy a traditional pub lunch, head to The Tavern Restaurant which offers a pub-style menu in a cosy setting.
