“Cottage review”

Reviewed 24 Oct 2021

Enjoyable stay last week at the cottage. It’s a little isolated so if that’s what you are looking for it’s great. Well fitted out, warm and clean. Though could do with a bike shed. There is a hotel just down the road with a pool and hot tub you can use cheaply as a walk in guest which was good for kids. Great views out the back and close by. Nearest local shop is in Ballachulish few miles away. Would have appreciated a box of wood for the fire was my only comment. There is a bike/foot path just behind the house that links to Oban and Foot William so you can pedal or walk in safety to the hotel down the road dinner or a drink. It’s 25 minute drive in Fort William and not too far into Glencoe. Overall a great place particularly if you like peace and quiet.

“The perfect base for a holiday in a beautiful location.”

Reviewed 16 Sep 2021

Catriona’s little bungalow is the perfect base for a holiday in this area. It was so easy find and it is close to local amenities whilst still being far enough out of the way - one evening we watched a Tawny Owl sat on the phone wire outside the front of the house only about 3 metres away from us! The house smelled super clean as soon as we walked in and everywhere was tidy. Catriona was easy to contact and the check in process was very straight forward. We would definitely recommend and book again!

“Great holiday”

Reviewed 26 Jul 2021

some small observations of a fab cottage. THe garden was sadly neglected which some minor ammendments would make for a reallh enjoyable break. The grass needed cutting, and only 3 white plastic chairs in the garden with no table After a week a table arrived, not of the best quality and restricted our outside living. Therr was a BBQ but it ad been locked away in the garage. All these things may seem minor, however when you pay for your holiday. The cottage is comfortable and well equipt it may have been helpful to highlight it is on a busy main road as the traffic noice is apparent. If the quality of the inside of the cottage was reflected outside it would have been a fantastic package. Your sincerely

“Ben View Stay”

Reviewed 6 Aug 2020

What a lovely area. The accommodation had everything we needed and acted as a good base for us to stay. There are lovely views from the back garden and plenty of things to see and do within a few miles around us. The owner of the property was helpful and polite and so was our neighbour. We would definitely stay again if we plan future trips to Scotland 10/10
