Coire-Dhiubh

Lovely cottage, cosy, comfortable, spacious with great walks from the door including Glennfinnan viaduct.

Had a problem with dishwasher, contacted the owner and it was sorted quickly, thank you. We would have liked the lawn to have been mowed for children and dogs but understand weather is not always kind in the highlands. Overall a great holiday had by all and had all the amenities needed. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Another super holiday in our favourite place .

Perfect for our family and dog in every way ⛰️

We were pleasantly surprised with this lodge, the photos don’t do it justice.

Although the lodge was in need of a few repairs it almost added to the character of being in a lovely remote location in the Highlands . The view from the living room was just perfect and the two chairs looking out the window was where we spent most of our time whilst in the lodge. The beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we need. The showers were hot and powerful. The walk down to the Loch was lovely and although busy from 830am every morning near the viaduct don’t let that put you off because if you enjoy 6am starts of late evening just don’t really numb into anyone except Red Deer. If you continue on the path through the viaduct the walk is stunning with lots of deer and we could hear the eagle with very few people about maybe the odd family. We decided to do a boat trip right from the jetty near our lodge which I booked through trip advisor and this didn’t disappoint as we got to see a white tailed eagle and heron fighting for a fish (spectacular) and worth £35pp. We also take the 30 min journey to the ferry terminal in Mallaig over to Isle of Skye. Overall a great base that I would highly recommend to explore this stunning area.

Amazing place.

Plenty of room. Absolutely everything we could need for our stay & more. Very well equipped kitchen. Nice enclosed back/side garden, perfect for the dogs. Very clean & tidy. Perfectly situated on the circular walk for the glenfinnan viaduct. A short stroll to the loch which was perfect for the dog’s & granddaughter. We got to see 2 stags on a walk to the loch but unfortunately didn’t get to see the golden eagle. There was a small leak from the en-suite shower but we called the owner straight away & he sent a man to fix it within 36 hours. The living area carpet could do with being replaced as it’s seen better days in places but didn’t affect our stay. Overall it was a great stay & a great place. We would definitely come back here again. I imagine Xmas would be idyllic here.

Loved the cottage and situation so beautiful.

My only critisism was that some maintenance needed to be done eg door handles lounge carpets need updating otherwise we found it lovely.

Loved this accommodation.

Great views, saw red deer and golden eagles. My husband was recovering from knee replacement surgery which curtailed our activities and the weather wasn’t great but this was a lovely relaxing week which we both really benefitted from. Loved the log fire and the huge bath in the main bathroom was amazing. Would have been better to have had the full instructions for the washer/dryer as the instructions left weren’t very easy to read due to the paper they were on but we got there in the end.

Lovely property in a stunning location, we were a party of five and the house never felt crowded, outside seating was the only disappointment, secure back garden so ideal for the dogs.

The station is literally across the road and only a short walk down to the loch. Would definitely return

Had a fabulous week.

Best equipped cottage with a great kitchen and safe enclosure for the dogs. Only issue was the plumbing. When you flushed or used the taps the noise was horrendous so no flushing at night and used the downstairs loo for washing the odd cup but plumber hopefully came the week after we left.

Fantastic stay.

Location is unbeatable, stunning scenery, wandering stags, flowing water in all directions and a friendly and welcoming hotel bar at the glenfinnan house hotel down the track. The property is cosy but large and very well equipped, there wasn’t anything we needed but could not find. Will be back.

Our favourite place to stay , we just keep coming back!

Simply love it here , it’s like a second home .Everything we need for our family and dog . Thank you again for a perfect stay

We had a great week in Glenfinnan staying in this lovely house.

It was clean, convenient and comfortable. Would definitely return!

The property is very well equipped and in a lovely location with fantastic views and walk to Loch Shiel and the Glenfinnan near by

This place was perfect, thank you.

We loved it so much that we are returning next year.

We had a lovely stay.

Accommodation comfortable and spacious great spot to go exploring and see the wildlife especially with the stags close by.

It was fantastic to spend a weeks holiday in Coire-Dhiubh at Glenfinnan watching Stag Deer walking passed the cottage and Eagles flying outside the front windows.

Inside the property the everything was wonderful and after a lovely night sleep we walked our dogs to Loch Shiel, the Glenfinnan Viaduct and Monument adjacent to the loch. It was also superb to travel to the magnificent Silver Sands at Morar Beach and the wonderful walks in Glen Nevis, which also has Ben Nevis Visitors Centre and for very fit people the start to climb Ben Nevis. After fabulous days out it was marvellous to return to the beautiful cottage Coire-Dhiubh.

We loved our stay.

The house was very homely and instantly comfortable and inviting. It had everything we needed during our stay. The location, views and local wildlife were a big bonus and the hotel/restaurant down the track and the coffee shop at the viaduct were a bonus. Highly recommend. Thank you

Excellent accommodation for our Christmas week stay.

Bedrooms comfortable and shower / bathrooms excellent. Instant hot water when turning on the shower. The accommodation was comfortably warm, only having to use the wood burner stove for a couple of hours during the evening. A great selection of kitchen pots / pans etc to cook our Xmas dinner. Carving knives were sharp as well which I found unusual for a rental cottage. I've got into the habit of taking my own set of knives "just in case". We would certainly rebook this cottage if we were going to stay in the Glenfinnan area again.

Superb stay in this lovely property!

Lots of walks locally and not too far from anywhere. The property it's self was gorgeous, homey, clean and had everything we needed! We were allowed to check in early as we had a clear run up and it was massively appreciated. Unfortunately we didn't get to see any stags

Loved our stay and can't wait to return:)

Our favourite place to stay , that’s why we keep coming back ☺️

This was our first family holiday that wasn’t camping so we were really nervous about the experience but from the moment we arrived after a long journey the cottage was so welcoming and homely.

It was clean, cozy, the kitchen was great and it was warmly decorated. The log fire was brilliant! The garden was safe for our dogs to run around in and the owners were lovely. A lot of wildlife visits the garden, we saw a stag, bats, lots of beautiful song birds, considering how close we are to the station it’s so peaceful. It was our daughter’s 11th birthday while we were away and we were delighted to find 11 candles in the cutlery draw! It really was a home away from home. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we plan to come back.

Had the best week here.

Great kitchen, great living space, lovely bathrooms just an all around great place. Add to this the location and it doesn’t really get any better. Thanks for letting us stay!!

I and all my family ( 6 of us) were more than delighted with the cottage and its situation just a 10 minute stroll up to rhw Station.

And also the red dear stag that visited us on 3 occasions. The local residents have named hin Rudolph lol . All in all we had a great week and was sorry to leave

Great holiday home, gorgeous setting.

Would definitely return.

A slightly dated but extremely comfortable house in a beautiful setting.

Externally the grounds and house need a little care, but overall a very enjoyable house to stay in.

Had a very enjoyable 2 week stay.

the house had everything we needed and the dogs loved it.

Just the perfect place to wind down and relax, Also a great location to explore the western highlands and climb Ben Nevis

Once again we’ve had an amazing time staying here at Coire-Dhiubh.

It’s clean , comfortable and has a wonderful homely feel. The view’s from the house are stunning and there are plenty of lovely walks . The house is well equipped with everything we needed as a family for the week . Can’t wait to return

Just returned from a week here.

The house was comfortable, clean and well equipped. It is in a lovely peaceful location, we could sit for hours watching the snow covered mountains from the panoramic windows, and we often saw stags wandering past. Very handy for the station, and I recommend the walk from the house to the viaduct viewpoint.

We had a lovely time at Coire-Dhiubh.

Nice and clean! Garden safe for my dog. Kitchen is very modern and spacious, with lots of appliances. We had a visit from the local stags and kept up to feeding the birds ( food supplied) The house is in a quiet area away from the Glenfinnan Visitors Centre, which can be busy, but a nice place to explore.

Absolutely brilliant property.

Perfect for dogs. Enclosed area was brilliant. Log fire was great. Had everything we needed. Thank you

loved our stay, could do a little more with the garden as we couldnt sit out front as not secure for our dogs but would deffo return home from home xx

One of the best places for a holiday.

Great location. Super property. Large bedrooms and kitchen. Accurately described. Would definitely recommend.

The bed in the main bedroom could be all little bigger

Beautiful property in an even more beautiful location!

We really cannot fault our stay, we had everything we needed in the property for our stay, and everything we wanted to see in the highlands within a short driving distance away. The weather wasn’t too kind to us but that didn’t stop us exploring; the cottage was the best thing to come back to after a wet and windy hike in the mountains! And the calmness at night time with nothing around you, it was so peaceful. The only little tiny issue I had was the overgrown back garden; it made it difficult to clean up after the dogs and I was forever checking them for ticks. But that’s more of an inconvenience rather than a negative issue with the property. We shall be booking again for next year, for sure!

The house was in a glorious setting and the house lovely However for a wooden cladded bedroom with huge windows a fan would have been helpful .

The duvet was absolutely awful paper and polyester and a dirty mark on it then stripping the pillowcases off the pillows which were like brick were yellow stained and we all know what causes that not even pillowcase protectors The mattress was so uncomfortable and was topped with two mattress toppers! The kitchen bin was broken also I was disappointed as I thought paying 1200 for a week it would offer a bit more luxury than that It was impossible to sleep

Came for a visit for my 50th birthday with my 2 grown up children and a friend couple.

And 2 dogs. Wow is all we can say for location amenities and the house. Had the best week and we all agree it's our new favourite holiday destination

A lovely stay in this comfortable cottage.

It had everything we needed & was very clean & well equipped. The bed was comfortable, no issues at all. We always appreciate good quality linens & towels in a holiday stay & these were what we had here. The views are amazing. A lovely walk to the local Loch from the door & of course a stones throw from the famous ‘Hogwarts Express’ viaduct. If you stay here please keep the bird table topped up with the feed that’s provided, you’ll be rewarded with so many species that are hard to see in urban places. I was mesmerised!

Avoid!

Awful experience. Massive issue with cheap master bed damaged cheap mattress that dipped severely in the middle along with a bellowed metal frame that not only was not screwed together cotrectly, caused mass discomfort and no sleep both for ourselves and our poor 10yr old little girl who offered to swap but equally could not. Ended up with the mattress in the floor the third night in a failed attempt to get some sleep , having raised this with the owners and sykes (who were no help at all and said it was to be resolved via ourselves and the owner) the owner sent a mattress protector that was neither use nor ornament and didn't even have anyone come into the property to even look at the bed. We could no longer justify no sleep for the family along with back ache and upset and gave in at 1am leaving 3 days early dragging our whole family a 4.5 hour drive back in the dark on no sleep. The owners claimed nothing could be done or delivered despite us checking locally that their was availability, however they were more than happy to take our £1000 for the week we had planned as a family break. You should also be made aware that there is a construction site adjacent to and opposite the property as your view ,not mentioned and many cameras all around the 'outside' of the property which was incredibly intrusive. So if you like your privacy be aware. Horrific experience and unfair outcome. We will not be the first to have had issues and we will certainly not be the last. I only hope for the sake of other innocent guests the owners despite claiming otherwise, make the necessary upgrades to the bedrooms ( having been previously told a single bed was an issue and replaced it same day) so that no one else suffers the disgusting outcome we and our young children have

A great find.

Highly recommended.

Fantastic house in a brilliant location.

The property had everything we needed and the views were incredible. The location is ideal as we travelled around the Highlands. Kids loved the space and the dog loved the outside areas. We had a visit from the red stag which was incredible. Can’t wait to visit again.

We had a very enjoyable holiday at this comfortable, well appointed property.

Some advice for those visiting with dogs - 1. The fence around the enclosed garden area is not secure for small dogs. 2. Our dogs did not enjoy navigating the metal steps to the front door. 3. Take a tic removing tool.

Fabulous place to stay we had a very relaxing time.

The property was excellent, very clean and lots of little thoughtful items left by the owners such as treats for the dogs. They even manage to arrange for the stag to come and welcome you and then visit on regular occasions

A very comfortable and well equipped property in a really scenic location.

Thank you

Fantastic property with every thing you could ask for , great log burner and very cosy , although garden not fenced it is isolated enough for for dogs to be ok when outside , did see a stag wandering down the track one evening which was great , overall a great stay

A very cosy chalet style accommodation, set in beautiful surroundings with the most amazing views.

We had three dogs and managed different walks every day. Although the gardens are not enclosed, it was safe to let dogs wander under supervision with plenty of security lighting round the property. All the bedrooms had plenty of hanging and drawer space, kitchen very well equipped, even though it took us a good hour to find the cutlery drawer!! A really spacious, warm and comfortable property, but don’t forget your wellies! When it rains, it rains!!!!!

Great location for the Jacobite steam train journey and other SNTrust events.

Spacious accommodation with magnificent view.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage.

They had everything we could possibly need. The cottage was clean, located well, a great size and deers came to visit us daily in the garden! We would highly recommend the cottage to anyone and look forward to staying again- thanks.

We had a fabulous holiday.

The cottage exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed seeing the deer which visited at least once per day to feed on the grass out front. Great walks in the area and some lovely beaches just up the coast. Favourites were the Nevis Range Gondola and walks, the Steall Waterfall & wire rope bridge and the hill walk from Glenfinnan Station to the Glenfinnan Viaduct (great views).
