Scottish Highlands & Islands holiday cottage: Glencoe

We are a family of 5 who love the outdoors and have been renting holiday homes in mountain locations for many years. We have stayed in some great houses but I have to say, this one tops the lot. If you want spotless, spacious, very comfortable, accommodation offering all the amenities you could want and in the centre of some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland, then this is the place for you. Special mention must be made of the view down the Loch from the dining room which is stunning both in rain and sun, and the wildlife which can be seen in the garden - this year on a rainy morning, we fed and filmed a family of field voles from the dining room and on a previous visit we were lucky enough to watch a pine marten feed on peanut butter (apparently their favourite food) just outside the french windows! Magical. Should you require their services, Lynne and Geoff live next door and without being intrusive, go out of there way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. A well stocked village shop and an excellent cafe/craft shop are close by and the best walkers pub in the area is a few minutes drive away (Clachaig Inn). Really, if like us you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of town life, love walking, wildlife, mountain biking, rock/ice climbing (The Ice Factor climbing wall is 20 mins drive away), in fact, anything connected to the outdoors, then you can not go far wrong with Lynn and Geoff's wonderful, comfortable, warm house. Just don't book it for a week when we want to go!!

We had a fantastic week in magnificent house with a splendid view. The property was very clean.
The house was a good starting point for beautiful trips.
We recommend this property to everybody.

The house is a lot bigger than in the pictures!! Felt very at home. Owner friendly, and handy as they're just next door. Comfortably accomodated 6 adults, and the 3 x shower thing came in VERY handy since we were walking every day. Kitchen is small but functional. Lovely flowery front and back gardens. Generally had everything we needed, and had a bbq on request. View is fantastic, great for watching seabirds. Lovely comfy beds (though a little warm for the season). Massive bath - luxurious. A few silly gripes we could think of: no sieve! more satellite channels! not really suitable for those without a car (as is the highlands in general). But we made a joke about trying really hard to find gripes - you can't really fault it. Thankyou for a cushy stay in a wild country.
