Welcome to our website and to a taste of this beautiful area of Scotland.

Our two Glencoe self catering holiday cottages are wonderfully situated in a hidden valley off one of Scotland’s finest, most magnificent and historical glens. The cottages are 4 star and offer all the comforts and flexibility of home, among the spectacular and dramatic mountain scenery of Glencoe.

Sitting below some of Scotland’s highest mountains, the cottages enjoy panoramic views, including a stunning view of the Aonach Eagach Ridge and towards Bidean Nam Bian. There are numerous walks from the door, including to the Corbett Meall Lighiche and the lesser-known Munro, Sgor na h-Ulaidh.

The two cottages – Aonach and Bidean – are accessed by a one mile hard surfaced farm road off the main route through Glencoe. They enjoy complete tranquillity in a truly peaceful setting, yet are only three miles from sea lochs and the amenities of Glencoe village.

The town of Fort William is eighteen miles from the cottages and offers shopping and a wealth of activities. Oban, known as the ‘Gateway to the Isles’, is only thirty-six miles away. Glencoe Mountain Resort, with skiing, mountain biking and other activities is a 20 minute drive through the glen.

The cottages each sleep 6 and are fully equipped, bright and comfortable. We have a 5 star award from the Scottish Tourist Board for cleanliness. The views from the windows are just stunning. With no light pollution, you can enjoy star gazing across the dark night sky.

From the front door you can wander further up our peaceful glen alongside a mountain burn and enjoy beautiful scenery and a true feeling of being in the hills, even if you are not a hill walker.

Please note that there is no Wifi in the cottage. However, there is access to Wifi at various locations in Glencoe village, approximately 2 miles down the Glen.

Walking in Glencoe

Glencoe is a wonderful area for walking regardless of whether you enjoy low level walking or you like to climb the highest mountains. There is a wealth of opportunities for all abilities. Below we have given you just a flavour of some of our favourite local walks but this is just scratching the surface of the opportunities out there.

Glencoe Low Level Walking
From the doorstep of your cottage, you can walk further up Gleann Leac na Muidhe, following a bubbling mountain burn!.

Some Other Local Walks

There are three wonderful walks around the very pretty Glencoe Lochan.
Signal Rock and An Tor, where the signal was given for the start of the massacre, are at the foot of our glen.
Inchree Waterfalls, where you may see people gorge walking and if you are lucky, a red squirrel or two.
The James of the Glen Trail, through woodland and into areas of moorland.
Gleann a’ chulish, where you slowly climb uphill, to be rewarded with a stunning view over Loch Leven to the hills of Ardgour and a downhill walk back!

Hill and Mountain Walking
The opportunities for Hill Walking and climbing in the Glencoe area are very well know to mountain enthusiasts throughout the world. The majestic mountains that form the towering sides to the main glen are ‘just a stone’s throw away’. From our cottages, the view of the Aonach Eagach is widely considered to be finest and most spectacular of anywhere in the glen.

With 43 Munros and a similar number of Corbetts just a short drive away there is more than enough to satisfy even the most energetic of hillwalkers. From the door step of the cottage you are able to walk out and climb the local hills including Sgor na h-Ulaidh, the hidden Munro of Glencoe.

For those who would like to walk or climb with a local guide, we can provide you with some contacts.
