A fantastic base for our Scottish holiday. It was lovely to have such a cosy and well equipped house to return to after a long day out. The location is wonderful - beautiful and peaceful but close to all the places we wanted to visit. We had the best time here and hope to return in the future.

What a beautiful house and surroundings. We enjoyed the spaciousness and almost completed one of the jigsaw puzzles! The welcome basket was a very nice touch. Much appreciated!

Great location and house. Our only gripe would be the couches. They look great but are so uncomfortable. If they were replaced this place would receive a perfect score.

Great location for hikes in Glencoe, 10 minutes to National Trust visitor centre where guides were very helpful in planning hikes. Well equipped, a few minute walk to bay and views. Wifi worked fine and Sonos system a nice touch to use our Spotify. Nice gift basket (wine, shortbreads and chips) and a mix of coffee, tea, spices, oils etc. Fully equipped kitchen but some of the pots had seen better days. We didn’t use the fireplace but there was wood. Glencoe area was fabulous and coming back to Bishop’s Bay was a bonus.

Highlands trip

We loved our stay at Bishops Bay Cottage. The cottage had absolutely everything we could have wanted/needed (including a fab tea pot). Location was beautiful and also convenient to get to different trails and sites. We had dinner at the Ballachulish Hotel on our last night and it was delicious. Highly recommend it. We cannot wait to visit the cottage again!

This is the perfect rental property for a visit to the Glencoe area. It’s centrally located with easy access to many hiking trails. It’s extremely quiet with wonderful views of the loch and woodlands. The cottage is spacious with plenty of room to spread out and relax for a party of four. The large kitchen is well equipped to make your own meals and the washer and dryer is a huge plus. The mattresses in both bedrooms are extremely comfortable. The welcome basket of goodies was a nice touch. We discovered a forest path to the Loch Leven Hotel, only a 15-minute walk from the cottage, and where we had dinner one night. The two sofas in the living room are slightly uncomfortable, but this is a minor issue. We would not hesitate to return to Bishops Bay Cottage.

Delightful, beautiful, modern, comfortable loch side house.

We stayed at Bishops Bay with our 18 year old son whilst attending the Scottish 6 day orienteering event. This house was the perfect retreat for rest days and evenings. The bedrooms and bathrooms are like a very nice hotel room, the living space has incredible views, the kitchen and utility has everything you would ever need in a very well thought out and tasteful design. The garden is incredible with foot access to a beautiful beach and loch for swimming in. In addition to the orienteering, we cycled to see Castle Stalker, did part of the west highland way snd went to the silver sands at morar. Wonderful. Thank you so much for a lovely week - will will certainly visit again if you this way.
