This lovely stone cottage is private, although attached to owners property in picturesque location on shoreline of Loch Linnhe. Calm and relaxed place. Friendly and helpful owner - Caroline, who was in recovery from surgery even baked a lemon drizzle cake upon our arrival! That's customer service and care par excellence. 5* customer service. Thank you so much Caroline. A few chickens roaming in garden gave bucolic atmosphere, but did not disturb us. Private picnic table and seating with seat pads in cottage, (although far too windy whilst we were there to enjoy).
Log burner to cope with changes in Scottish highland weather! May Day bank holiday week (1-8 May 2015), log costs were £30 pw (lit log burner every evening and some mornings before breakfast), plus £34 for heating and hot water, which we anticipated.
Good to get a dressing table with mirror for grooming - but problem with shaky dressing table stool - screws/nuts needed tightening up before someone gets ditched! This didn't give me confidence of use as have fractured back! Double bed comfortable with lovely high tog duvet for snuggly nights sleep. Plenty wardrobe space. Bedisde cabinets and lamps both sides of bed - great!
Kitchen suited our needs - we cooked almost every evening after exploring Glencoe.
Lounge comfortable enough; although sofa & armchairs little tired, chinzy and difficult to get out of (with fractured back).
We were in Glencoe for a wedding and extended out stay for the week. Boat trips available in Ballachulish. Sottish National Trust history, flora and fauna Safari was tops! Seafood restaurant - Loch Leven restaurant and cafe, along shoreline of Loch Leven was every bit as good as Paris seafood - perhaps even fresher; as catch is land and eaten within few short hours. We 'pushed the boat out'; had oysters and languistine for starters, mussels and Parma ham wrapped with Mediterranean veg and dauphinoise potatoes, breads, French white wine and tip all came to £90. Food & service 100%. Friendly and communicative staff. Advise booking as it was filling up fast during evening. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, vaulted ceiling, appropriate seafood sculptures on walls. All types of dress - walking, mountaineering, plus (us) dressed in smart casual clothing.
Great week; first time visit - will return.
Would hire cottage again as long as Caroline gets the dressing table stool legs fixed and firm - she is aware and we're sure it has already been done in readiness for next letting.
