Description
Shepherds Rest, is a neat holiday home nestled in the Scottish Highlands in the village of Banavie.
Perfectly-situated for exploring the area, you can access the property via a 20-metre-long tunnel (height limit is 2 metres) down a single-track road and take advantage of the off-road parking.
Popular with cyclists, Shepherds Rest is just a stone's throw away from Fort William and is pet-friendly, so you don't have to leave your furry friends behind.
Upon arrival you will find off-road parking, as well as a rear garden with a lawn and furniture.
Inside you will find a kitchen for cooking up a storm, along with an inviting living/dining room with a woodburning stove for a truly homely feel.
Three bedrooms provide the perfect sanctuary for restful nights, including a ground-floor super-king-size zip/link; can be twin on request for extra flexibility and suited for those with limited mobility, and on the first floor, a king-size and a twin with Jack-and-Jill access to the bathroom.
A ground-floor wet room for freshening up after an adventurous day complete the interior of this delightful home.
Shepherds Rest offers the perfect base for a holiday full of outdoor adventure and exploration.
Enjoy the unique location of the property with direct access to the River Lochy, and take the time to admire the stunning views of Ben Nevis and the surrounding mountains.
Experience the best of the great outdoors with nearby activities such as climbing, skiing, mountain biking, sailing and walking.
Treat yourself to a ride on the famous Harry Potter train, a boat trip to take in the abundant wildlife, or even a visit to Loch Ness.
For thrill seekers, take a ride up the Aonach Mor Mountain in a gondola, or take a short boat journey across the Corran Ferry to explore the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.
For day trips, discover the Isles of Inverness, the Isle of Skye, Glencoe or Oban, all easily accessible from Shepherds Rest too!

What guests are saying
A spacious, well furnished and light filled property.
Great location for exploring the Highlands. Wonderful view of nearby Ben Nevis from the property which we appreciated even more after climbing it. Lovely walks along nearby canal path. Only downside is the access - the approach road/tunnel is in very poor condition and is not suitable for all cars even in good dry weather.
This is an excellent cottage.
Spacious, well equipped, quiet, comfortable and good views of the mountains. There is nothing that the owners, who live nearby and who are attentive without being intrusive, have overlooked. In almost 60 years of hiring UK cottages it would be among our top dozen. The only thing which holds me back from giving it five stars is the access. It is quite a way down an unmade road which is in poor condition and through a tunnel under the Caledonian Canal that was designed to take a horse and cart. The tunnel itself is not that bad once you get used to it but the road does need some work on it. Fortunately it is quiet and we never encountered another vehicle on it which would have been difficult. Directions to the cottage could perhaps be improved also and signage would help.
There is nothing I could think of to improve this property everything you could possibly need was there the beds were comfortable space was amazing views were to die for would defo go back and recommend to family and friends
