About this property

Renovated lochside cottage nr Fort William & Glencoe (sleeps 4-6)

Ardchattan is a stone cottage dating back to the 19th century situated on the Fort William road in the Highland region of Lochaber. The property overlooks a stoney beach, Loch Linnhe and the majestic Beinn Bheithir range of mountains.

To the south lie the villages of Ballachulish and famous Glencoe, home to Glencoe ski resort and mountains such as Aonach Eagach and Bidean nam Bian, all within 20 minutes' drive.

Stunning views across Loch Linnhe to the mountains beyond can be seen from a new private decking area to the rear of the cottage, which is set within a large garden.

The centrally heated cottage has been renovated and provides comfortable accommodation for 4-6 people, consisting of one double bedroom, a second bedroom with two single beds and a double bed settee in the living room. The kitchen diner is a beautifully converted barn with large Velux windows, stone flooring and exposed stone feature wall. The spacious room is fitted with new appliances, including electric hob and oven, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer and microwave.

The living room boasts views to the front and rear, and offers a cosy environment with wood and coal burning stove, including wall-mounted TV with DVD player. Fast Wi-Fi access is also included, which can be used throughout the property.

The cottage has a fully fitted bathroom with combined bath and shower with toilet and sink, along with a separate small WC.

We loved the property, it was the perfect location for us. A nice garden and warm and cosy. The fire was the icing on the cake and our dog throughly enjoyed lying in front of it most evenings. We will definitely return in the future

Beautiful and convenient location
The cottage was very comfortable and well laid out. We particularly enjoyed watching sunsets from the decking outside, even in October! Having the lovely Loch Leven Hotel within walking distance was definitely a bonus (and dog friendly too!). It was a great location being so close to the beauty of Glencoe in one direction and the Nevis Range in the other. As well as the convenience of shops in Fort William. David was very friendly and welcoming and we would certainly recommend this cottage to others.
