    Very nice and cozy house. Position was great, far from the main street and you can reach the loch with great views in just 2 minutes by walk. Very peaceful street and comfy bed! The owner was lovely and very attentive!

We feel that our home is what most guests look for when on holiday. We have ensuite bedrooms, we use natural toiletries from the Highland Soap Company. We have very comfortable beds, with lovely bed linen. We serve a wide variety of ingredients for our breakfasts, with lots to choose from. We have a lot of knowledge of the surrounding area and like to guide our guests to amazing places to visit. Most of all we offer our guests a pleasant place to rest overnight before exploring the Highlands during the day, please see our website for any further details.
We would like to welcome our guests to our home in the Highlands, with views to the front of the mountains of Glencoe and Loch Linnhe to the back, where the scenery is waiting for you to explore, whether by car, bicycle or on foot. The Highlands is your Oyster.
After a day of traveling we have the Loch Leven Hotel just a 5 minute walk from us, where a table can be booked or just for a Loch side drink. We have 2 lovely hotels where our guests can go for a swim or sauna. We have a 9 hole golf course just a 5 minute drive from us at the Dragons Tooth. Just 20 minutes away by car we have Glencoe Mountain resort where you can ski, snowboard or walk or go off road downhill cycling. For the more adventurous we have indoor ice climbing 7 miles away at Kinlochleven. A 20 minute drive away is the busy town of Fort William where there is a wonderful museum, free entry, for those wet days. You can also catch the Harry Potter Hogworts Express - pre booking is advised - that takes you through wonderful mountain scenery to the Old fishing port of Mallaig. From here you can catch ferries over to the Isle of Skye, Muck, Rum and Eigg. Or you can take a lovely drive over the Corran ferry to Ardmamuchan point, the furthest West you can go of the British Mainland.
