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.

Gorgeous place to be.

The property is so much bigger than the pictures represent, the lounge with its high ceiling and loch view is a lovely place to sit and relax. Excellent location for exploring the Glencoe valley, walks, climbs, the silver sand beaches and towns. The scenery is so amazing that driving longer distances to get places is stunning and a trip in itself. The house is really well equipped with lots of little extras being thought of, like blankets and hot water bottles, a laundry basket, bit and pieces in the kitchen, the cupboards stocked with games it’s the small things that count! Highly recommend, we loved it.

Well, well, well, what a property!

Amazing property in a wonderful location. Communication from Fiona was top notch. Friendly and informative and we were left wanting for nothing at The Old Schoolhouse. Cannot recommend it enough. We loved it so much and hopefully will be back. Our labrador, Brando, also loved it with plenty for him to do locally with lochs, glens, sights and smells. Just perfect. Sad to leave but heads filled with happy memories. Sláinte Fiona & Euan 😊

60th birthday with husbands and Sons

I wanted somewhere to stay in the Glencoe area with my family and I came across the Old School House. The views arw as seen in the advertisement absolutely stunning. Very well situated for hiking and a very well equipped cottage with a beautiful lunge and the log fire was bliss. Fiona our host went beyond to make my 60th birthday celebration really memorable. Would definitely stay again

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.
