About this property
Old Schoolhouse With Stunning Loch And Mountain Views
The Old Schoolhouse is on the side of Loch Linnhe between Ballachulish and Kentallen.It has stunning views over the loch towards the mountains of Ardgour.There is a loch side cycle path across the road providing easy walking and cycling with great views.It is within driving distance of some of the most iconic attractions and spectacular scenery in the Highlands.A hotel with bar,restaurant and swimming pool is in easy walking distance.
The Old Schoolhouse really is the perfect location,whether you want to scale a mountain or waterfall,take a ride in a gondola or steam train or simply kick back and enjoy some Highland hospitality while you soak up the unforgettable scenery.
It is hard to believe that the unique lounge was once a schoolroom.It's high ceiling and double,west facing windows make it spacious and bright.There are glorious views out over the loch at all times of day,whatever the weather.The west facing aspect makes sunsets particularly memorable.
Two sofas make the lounge a comfortable and relaxing area whether for enjoying the view with a dram or watching TV.A storage heater and multi fuel burning stove keep the room warm and cosy.
There are a variety of cafes and restaurants nearby,some within walking distance,so eating out is an easy option.For the days you just want to stay in,relax and enjoy the view,the kitchen is fully equipped and has everything you need to rustle up something tasty.A dining table,with seating for six,is in the lounge.Use the candles we leave to create an atmospheric candlelit dinner as the sun sets over the loch.
There are three bedrooms- one with a double bed,the second with two single beds
and the third with one single bed and a fold out chair bed.All rooms are carpeted and heated by electric panel heaters.All have large built in wardrobes with shelving so there is ample storage space.
We leave a variety of guide books and maps in the house to help you discover and enjoy the area.For quieter days there is a large enclosed garden,TV,dvds,toys,books and games.
All in all a great base for exploring or relaxing in a fabulous area!

About the host
Hosted by fiona mcdonald
We live and work in Edinburgh but have always loved the Scottish Highlands. We spent so many weekends and holidays exploring the west we decided to make a permanent base there. The house had been empty for years when we bought it and it has been a labour of love(and despair sometimes) to renovate it. As we have children at school we cannot use the house as much as we used to. It now makes sense to let other people use it and discover what a fantastic area it is.
Why they chose this property
We chose this house for its location and stunning views.
We have holidayed in most parts of Scotland but nowhere else can beat the variety of scenery and activities we have on our doorstep.
The Munros in Glencoe, the views at Port Appin, fresh seafood on the pier at Oban,cycling off road from almost the end of the garden,walking to the local hotel for a beer on the sun deck or pier,ferry trips,castles,history,fabulous beaches a bit further afield....We really do have it all. When the sun shines there is no better place to be.

What makes this property unique
We use the property a lot ourselves so we know it is comfortable and well equipped.
We want everyone to love the house and area as much as we do so we have left lots of information,maps,books,guides etc to make sure you have a good holiday.
The house itself is unique.The former schoolroom-now the lounge -gives it a 'wow' factor especially when watching the ever changing loch views.
