Het was een super compleet en comfortabel vakantiehuis met een fantastische ligging om glencoe en ben nevis te ontdekken. Ook wandelingen in de buurt zijn aan te raden en we hebben gezwommen en gegeten in het nabij gelegen Holly tree hotel. Was heerlijk.

Lovely cottage, ideally located for sightseeing in Glen Coe, Fort William or Oban areas. Easy keysafe check in and out. Beautiful tranquil setting. Well equipped and modern cottage sleeps 5 easily. Cuil bay just down the road was pretty and the view from bedrooms, kitchen and garden is amazing. I particularly enjoyed a glass of rosé , reading in the evening sun in the back garden. Would highly recommend.

Great Cottage in a central location

Great location for a holiday in the Scottish Highlands with easy access to the Islands. Lovely walks from the doorstep including on the shores of Loch Linnhe and the forest and mountains behind the cottage. Be prepared to drive to local amenities and the cottage is located on a busy road which was a bit noisy at times.

Lovely cosy home with views

Perfectly warm and clean, newly refurbished home. Well appointed with amazing views out the back. The only adjustment was being on a main road but we soon noticed we’d habituated to this. Great location otherwise with walking track, beach and amenities nearby.

Geweldige verblijfplaats!

Zeer ruime en nette woning met fantastisch uitzicht, ideaal gelegen om uitstappen en hikings te doen. Heel fijn dat er een kachel is, na de regen en kou deed dit deugd. Prachtige omgeving. We zagen zelfs herten vlakbij in het wild!
