We have just returned from 2 weeks at this gorgeous lochside cottage. It is so beautifully renovated. Each room was spacious and full of character but modern and well equipped too. It felt like a home from home and we looked forward to returning after long walks in the mountains. The location is incredible, not only because of the stunning views but everything you need is so accessible. A perfect base to explore this incredible area. Cannot recommend this place highly enough, stunning location, beautifully renovated, warm, clean and great for the dog! Thank you, we so enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again soon.

Great cottage for Glencoe and surroundings

We spent wonferful two weeks in this lovely cottage, which was ideally located for us to explore the many hiking opportunities in the Glencoe region. Being located on the A82 it is also streightforward to use this as home base to explore other parts of Scotland.The only thing to be aware of is the fact that the windows of all rooms are directly adjacent to the A82, with an associated impact on the noise level - also in the evenings and early mornings.
