Scottish Highlands holiday cottages
Situated in a peaceful hamlet close to the banks of Loch Leven at the heart of the Scottish Highlands our two self-catering holiday cottages are surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland. They are close to the stunning Glencoe valley (5 miles), Fort William and Ben Nevis (13 miles) and not far from Oban and the Isle of Mull (30 miles). The village pub (The Old Ferry Bar at the Loch Leven Hotel) is also only a 5 minute walk away.

The two stone holiday cottages form part of a trio of courtyard cottages and date from the 19th century. Built from Kentallen granite under a Ballachulish slate roof, they were originally built to house servants working at Alltshellach Country House (former residence of the Bishop of Argyll), which stands opposite. The cottages have been refurbished to provide high standard self-catering accommodation, and each has been awarded a 4 star grading by Visit Scotland.
Each of the two cottages provides self-catering holiday accommodation for up to 6 people. Both have high speed BT Infinity Broadband.
The Glencoe, Glen Nevis and Mamore mountain ranges are all very close by, with ample opportunities for hill walking, mountain biking, horse riding, sailing, fishing and golf. Sports climbers will definitely want to visit the Ice Factor indoor climbing centre with ice climbing wall in Kinlochleven (8miles). Fishing is possible in Loch Leven from Bishop's Bay, located a five minute walk away. Golfers can enjoy a round at the Dragon's Tooth Golf Course, located a five minute drive away.
The attractions of Glencoe and Loch Leven, apart from the impressive Highland landscape, include the renowned Loch Leven Seafood Cafe which is only a 5-minute drive (or very pleasant 15 minute cycle) from the holiday cottages along the shores of Loch Leven. The Seafood Cafe serves a delicious range of locally sourced shellfish and seafood dishes, including langoustines, lobster, crab and clams. Many other good options for dining exist close by.

"Very much enjoyed our stay. The property was warm, spacious and with everything you need. Location great for Glencoe activities, Fort William and trips around the area. Would recommend Glen Etive, the Kinlochleven Ice Wall and the gondola at Nevis Range."
