  • "My friend and myself had a fabulous time at Grant Cottage."

    Spotlessly clean throughout, maximum comfort and just a beautiful place to unwind. I have to say though, the photos do not do this place justice at all, I mean on the photos the place looks great and it was just what I was looking for but to get there and see all the little touches around the place to make it feel like home from home was so lovely and welcoming. The cottage has more than enough information about the surrounding area from where to get food to amazing things to do and see. You might struggle to leave this place to do anything though because it has everything you need and more. The hot tub was spotless and just perfect. We got the chance to meet one of the owners, Caroline, who we had a lovely chat with and found out about a good walk to do and a lovely place for a bacon roll. There was nothing I could fault about this piece of heaven. Everything was as described and much much more!! I would highly recommend Grant Cottage to anyone and everyone and I really hope I can make it back someday. The village the cottage is in is one of the friendliest places in Scotland. Everyone we met was lovely. I can’t thank Adrian and Caroline enough for the 4 days of perfection we had and for making the place so beautiful and inviting. I really didn’t want to leave.

    Hi Vicky Thank you sooo much for your kind words about Grant Cottage. I hope you are well and we hopefully will see you again soon. Warm Regards Caroline xx Property Owner

    Everything you would need in a kitchen was there..garden was fully enclosed and felt very safe letting our dog wander about while we were in the hot tub!! Fabulous stay,just wish we knew about the Morrisons delivery service.

    Hi Liz Great you guys all had a wonderful holiday at Grant Cottage Strontian. Thanks also for leaving g the feedback. Very much appreciated. I’ll leave details of the Morrisons delivery in the cottage from now on for other guests. Hopefully see you again. Warm regards Caroline. Property Owner

  • "On approach to the property my heart sunk, the cottage itself looked like it could do with a lick of paint but it was the flower tubs full of dead weeds & the hanging rust rotten outside lanterns that put me off."

    First impressions count. However the inside was clean, very well equipped. Comfortable bed & well set up for families. Plenty of hot water. It was very nice. Great area, very peaceful. Just a suggestion to take away flower tubs if they are not going to be maintained, including a tidy of the fire pit area. The hot tub could do with being under a canopy so that it can be used when it’s bad weather, oh & please take down the rusty lanterns, not a good look. Saying that we have had a wonderful stay

    Hi Audrey Thanks for feedback. We have taken your points into consideration. The pots are due for winter flowers now A lot of properties in the area are grey colour due to planning regs and the hot tub we don’t have a canopy for the reason that stargazing would be restricted in the nights that is so clear here especially in the winter months. A lot of folks come for the low light pollution in strontian and the Aurora (northern lights) are now being seen more than ever. a canopy over the hot tub would restrict the viewing of the night sky which can be a real spectacle of an evening. Apart from that we are glad you had a good stay. The cottage always gets fantastic feedback. We have renewed the lantern Warm regards Adrian. Property Owner

    It was spotless and very well kitted out. Comfortable seating and bed. Plenty of soft fluffy towels. The large garden really is fully enclosed and very dog friendly. Robb loved having a sniff around there as well as the many great dog walks nearby. We would highly recommend a stay at Grant Cottage for a relaxing holiday, peace and quiet guaranteed and also a great base for touring the area. Very friendly but unobtrusive owners. The only downside for us was that we only booked one week!!

    We loved the hot tub - great for stargazing and had lots of clear nights to enjoy it! The outdoor veranda with roof is also good to enjoy being outside even if it’s raining. My mum broke her arm and it turned out to be a great place to rehabilitate and enjoy some gentle walks but so many great more adventurous options close by too. Hopefully we’ll come back to enjoy these another time!

    Only point of attention would be that the number of towels is a little for a family of five (one baby) Facilities are great! Super complete kitchen, washer/dryer and of course the jacuzzi.

  • "The fact that the double bed was comfortable and the surroundings were so quiet ,you get a good night sleep ."

    This in my book is so important. You can deal with most things when you get a good nights sleep!! The only thing I would suggest is a bit more cutlery ,secure the shower screen and maybe a hand rail in the shower, that is me being picky. But fab place I would book again especially as dogs are allowed. Although you wouldn't know this as didn't smell of dog.

    Cosy and beautifully furnished. Had everything you needed for a relaxing trip away. Even down to the bath robes hanging at the front door ready for the hot tub, which was on 24/7 at a warm 38.5 deg. Set in a stunning location amongst trees, so peaceful. Lots of wildlife about too, the hens, geese and ducks were next door, the stag walking across the field in the morning. There are plenty of great walks nearby and stunning scenery. Caroline and Adrian, the property owners, were very helpful when it came to advice on the area and places to go and eat out at. Nothing was ever a bother. And you could get fresh eggs at the end of the drive. We would give our stay at Grant Cottage 10/10

  • "The best cottage we’ve ever stayed at!"

    Staying at Grants Cottage for a week was a dream. The cottage was clean and the decor was lovely. The internet was great, no connection issues and the cottage was always cozy. Bed was very comfortable and we slept great each night- like being at home! The cottage had everything you could think of there for you for and your stay- extra linen, spices, blankets, cleaning products. When we first arrived it was lovely to walk into milk in the fridge, cups at the ready for a hot drink, and some Scottish shortbread! Very homely. The view of the stars on a clear night from the hot tub and the porch is breathtaking. And the location of the cottage is quiet and secluded, and you can hear the river bubbling when sitting outside. So relaxing! The owners were so accommodating and answered any questions we had. The information left inside the cottage and their suggestions pointed us towards some great places to eat and walks with stunning views. We were unlucky enough to have car issues the day before we left, and they were quick to help us out and allow us some extra time when leaving the next day. Can not thank them enough! Even though we didn’t bring our dog, the cottage had blankets and cushions there for the dog to sit cozy with you on the porch. Could tell our little guy would have loved it here too. All in all a prefect holiday, in amazing accommodation in one of the most stunning parts of Scotland.

    Thank you so much for leaving such a wonderful review. It makes it all Worthwhile. We hope you got back ok and sorted the car out. We would love to have you back Property Owner

  • "We have been to a lot of cottages over the Years but Grant cottage is one of if not the best."

    Everything to make this home from home is thought of. The place is warm and very comfortable. Everything you need in the kitchen is provided. The bed is very comfortable we had s great nights sleep every night. The weather was what you’d expect for October but that didn’t stop us enjoying the hot tub. The only small problem was the directions to the cottage. The post code took us into a small collection of houses but instead you have drive past the houses, over the bridge and follow the road until you pass a church and take a right through the gates...which is clear to follow the only problem is we were travelling in the dark and as no street lights on this street we drove past the church as you couldn’t see it at all in the dark. We found it eventually. One tiny bump in the road didn’t dampen what was a fabulous few days away. I highly recommend Grant cottage

Boasting a fire pit for a cheerful atmosphere, as well as an alluring hot tub, Grant Cottage is an idyllic retreat for a family of four.

Park at the foot of the property with three off-road spaces available before unloading your luggage with ease into the welcoming abode.

Be greeted by the sitting room, with a natural wood wall to accentuate the rustic charm of the cottage and choose between two sophisticated sofas to unwind on before the TV.

Move through to the well-equipped kitchen/diner, where you will find all the necessities for your break; prepare hearty meals in the AGA cooker and utilise the dishwasher to assist you with the cleaning.

When dinner is served, gather around the beautiful marble dining table to tuck into a feast and catch-up on the excitement of the day.

As the evening draws to a close, head back inside to discover two excellent bedrooms, one being a stylish twin room with light grey décor and the other is a double with a countryside look.

Kick-start your day with a refreshing rinse in the contemporary shower room, you can keep your towel toasty on the heated towel rail as you enjoy your morning routine.
