Lochside with beach access uninterrupted views of spectacular Highland Mountains
This cottage is a truly wonderful home from home with amazing views across the loch. We all love the lochside walks each day and there are so many great places to visit in the area - Steall falls, Glencoe, Glenfinnan Viaduct, Fort William, Mull, Skye to name but a few. The cottage is extremely well equipped so any rainy stay inside days are very comfortable.

Lovely location and property was excellant, fantastically equipped kitchen. Communication with hosts was very good, any minor issues dealt with quickly.
Stunning peaceful location on Loch Linnhe. Property was spacious and clean. Everything you need for self catering provided. We could not fault it. Perfect, thanks Joanne.
We loved this cottage. It was so cozy and comfortable with beautiful views of the loch. I would recommend it for a getaway with couples or as a family.
Property is in a beautiful location, very spacious and nice and warm for winter. Joanne responded quickly to any messages and even arranged a Christmas Tree for our stay.
Wonderful position on the loch shore. Conservatory with all round views to enjoy all weathers on the loch. Enclosed garden a great asset with the dogs.
Spacious, plenty of bathrooms, well equipped kitchen, huge garden, stunning views.
Strongly recommended for families or friends wishing to explore the area, go shell-hunting and hiking.
What a fantastic place to stay, the views from the property are simply amazing. The property itself was perfect and very clean. I would definitely recommend it.
We loved our stay at Ardhru cottage. The cottage is well equiped and has a lage garden where our dog could run and play. Joanne and Adrian are the perfect hosts, very friendly and welcoming. Onich is the perfect spot to visit Fort William and Glen coe.
Wow! What an absolutely beautiful place to spend a week away with the family. The cottage is in such lovely quiet grounds where all you can hear are the waves lapping up onto the beach a stones throw from the cottage. We were able to watch the visiting Doe have her breakfast whilst having a morning coffee, just bliss. The cottage is ideally positioned, having close links to Fort Williams, Oban and Glencoe and 2hours drive to Skye. The cottage is clean, comfortable, spacious and incredibly well equipped with everything you could need, including a large secure garden for your four legged family members, a real home from home. We will most definitely be returning :).
House is loch side, semi detached , with lovely views and secure garden for dogs or children or both. Sadly the garden is not private, close neighbours & nearby hotel distract a wee bit from the overall tranquility.
Unfortunately during our stay we couldn’t easily walk far along the loch shoreline due to rocks, no beach to speak of, likely due to time of year.
Car essential.
House is comfortable & perfectly functional but decor is dated & towels very rough. Well equipped kitchen.
The owners were quick to correspond regarding payment, booking confirmation & checking in/out information.
Overall Our stay was enjoyable. The Glen Coe area is always reliable for stunning scenery & good dining.
We enjoyed The Kingshouse after walking all day.
West Highland Taxis are very reliable & good value.
Inverlochy Hotel is lovely for afternoon tea.

Lovely property
The property has everything you would need for your stay. fantastic location but unfortunately due to the really bad weather we didn't get to enjoy the area.
Only a couple of issues. The heating had been preset to go off during the day and during the night. leaving the house extremely cold only having instructions to press the heater button to turn the heating back on for an hour at a time. does have a wood burner in the sitting room but the conservatory even with the heater was to cold to sit in and enjoy the view.
anyone going to stay please be aware that there is NO washing machine or tumble dryer as stated in details, not ideal when coming back from walking in really bad weather.
we had our 2 dogs with us but were not informed in the details or in email to owner that they were not to be left unattended in the property. Yes we do love our pets but being restricted to having to stay home every night for dinner was not ideal. Due to our work schedules we don't get to go out very often for meals etc so holiday's are the time for us to do these things. If we had been made aware the we couldn't leave the dogs in then i would not have booked the property. all being said the property is lovely and would be ideal in the warmer weather. Garden is enclosed but if you have a larger dog that tends to be a runner like our huskie then the wall is not high enough to keep them in, he went straight over the wall the first time we let him out in the garden in a bid for freedom.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed the property and it’s location. We certainly feel it has one of the loveliest positions for our guests to come and relax and enjoy the sea view, whilst they enjoy their Highland break.
We are sorry you felt that you weren’t warm during your stay. In the pre-arrival email we send to guests we let them know that in addition to the heating automatically coming on between 7.30am to 10.30am in the morning and again for 6.5 hours (4.00pm to 10.30pm) in the evenings you are able to increase the time as required. We are also contactable immediately by telephone or email and also living just round the corner should any issues arises.
The conservatory is south and west facing and on sunny days and can actually be a bit warm, even when switching off the radiators in there. Thank you for letting us know that you feel the property is ideal and has a fantastic location.
We would love the Scottish Highland weather to be sunny and blue skies every day but are at its mercy unfortunately and we all endured rainy days last week. One of a set of two keys on your key set gives you access to the garage which houses the washing machine and tumble dryer and we apologies you were unable to find them during your stay. Again do please always ask – we are here to help out.
With regards to the dogs not to be left alone in the property, we are passionate about dog welfare and clearly state in the terms and conditions on booking that the dogs are on holiday too - it is unfair for them to be left shut up in a strange property on their own. Several of the local Pubs and Restaurants are all dog friendly, and we and they are happy to give you their contact details on request at any time.
I note the comment about the garden wall. At 1m high, it is in keeping within its surrounding to take advantage of the superb views, and this is the first comment we have had where a guest’s dog has breached the stone wall. We thank you again for taking the time to put in your feedback and do apologize once again if you felt you were struggling with any of the facilities. Our feedback is 99% positive, but I guess sometimes we just have to take the rough with the smooth. In our defence we just ask guests to please read our welcome letter in which we ask them to contact us immediately during their stay so that we can help out with anything they are unsure or unhappy about. We can always sort out there and then. It is not so easy afterwards.
Tolle Unterkunft, in hervorragender Lage mit wunderbarem Blick direkt auf das Loch. Viele Ausflüge lassen sich problemlos von dort machen, zB Glenfinnan Viaduct, Ben Nevis, Glen Etive, Oban, Mallaig…Das Haus ist typisch britisch gemütlich eingerichtet, gut ausgestattete Küche, bequeme (eher weiche) Betten, warm, hell und freundlich.Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war sehr schnell und einfach.Wenn wir nochmal in der Gegend sind, würden wir das Haus erneut buchen.
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Das Esszimmer mit Blick aufs Wasser und die Berge ist herrlich. Wir haben die ruhige Lage genossen.
Die Highlands sind traumhaft.
Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett.
Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!

Das Cottage liegt direkt am Ufer der Loch Linnhe. Die Ausstattung ist vollumfänglich und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Fort William ist etwa 20 Minuten entfernt, Glencoe etwa 10. Alles in allem ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderer.
We loved our time at this property. The ever changing views over the hills and loch were mesmerising. We all enjoyed swimming in the loch and the property was well equipped, clean and comfortable.
