A beautiful location and pet friendly with a large fenced garden for dogs.The house was very well equipped. The bedrooms were very comfortable. There was, apart from the main bathroom with a shower, a separate toilet.I would recommend this cottage.
We have just returned from 2 weeks at this gorgeous lochside cottage. It is so beautifully renovated. Each room was spacious and full of character but modern and well equipped too. It felt like a home from home and we looked forward to returning after long walks in the mountains. The location is incredible, not only because of the stunning views but everything you need is so accessible. A perfect base to explore this incredible area. Cannot recommend this place highly enough, stunning location, beautifully renovated, warm, clean and great for the dog! Thank you, we so enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again soon.
A really lovely cottage, nicely modernised whilst retaining its charm. Well laid out, spacious with a lovely modern kitchen, all in all very comfortable and with a great decked area in the garden. We really enjoyed our stay and would thoroughly recommend Ardchattan to anyone wanting a base to visit the highlands.
We had a fabulous week, made all the better by staying in this cottage - warm, comfortable and fully equipped for all our needs. Communication with the owner was great too.
We had a fabulous time staying in this beautiful cottage. The location is excellent and the cottage is a good size with all amenities required. We love visiting the area and had a few great days in the hills as well as some shorter walls to waterfalls. All in all we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.
The cottage was perfect for us, excellent communication for checking in and had everything you could need. Gorgeous location and a great base in-between Glencoe and Fort William. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.
It was a little difficult to find but for our first time in the Highlands area not too bad! The property was beautiful and imersive. We loved our stay.
We spent wonferful two weeks in this lovely cottage, which was ideally located for us to explore the many hiking opportunities in the Glencoe region. Being located on the A82 it is also streightforward to use this as home base to explore other parts of Scotland.The only thing to be aware of is the fact that the windows of all rooms are directly adjacent to the A82, with an associated impact on the noise level - also in the evenings and early mornings.
Really enjoyed our stay, comfortable and warm property, great facilitys and an excellent location to get out exploring places. Was really sad to come home, really miss the morning view.
Lovely cosy cottage, very clean and warm. Ideally situated between Glen Coe and Fort William with beautiful views to the lake and mountains. Very good Communication with the owner David and would recommend this place to stay.
First impression Wow. Beautifully clean. Very comfortable. Everything that we needed. Beautiful view of the loch, especially from the decking. Our dog loved the garden, very safe. Thank you for a super holiday
The cottage is well equiped and clean has everything you could need for a family to stay
this cottage is in a good place to tour the Highlands
has lovely views over the loch from windows and seating area at the back i would recommend to anyone
We just had a wonderful week stay! The house was impeccably clean and comfortable. The view over the loch was gorgeous and we loved the location, it was close to everything we wanted to do in the area. The home is updated and has everything you need. We are already talking about wanting to come back and stay again next year.
