This is a really lovely, well-equipped house with gorgeous picturesque views out of all windows and comfortably supported our group of 12. It is in an ideal location being close to Fort William, Ben Nevis, the Nevis Range Resort, Steal Falls, Glenfinnan and within reasonable driving distance of Loch Ness and Skye.

Ivy Cottage was very well equipped, with ample pots, pans, and cutlery, enabling us to prepare our own meals comfortably. We appreciated the presence of two dishwashers, however, an additional hob ring or two would have enhanced our convenience. Beautiful place in the most beautiful of settings, stunning views from every window.The walk to the riveRead morer was so enjoyable & became a daily activity for us & it was a joy to be there for the week, had a wonderful family break. Great communication by all. Hide

Our family of 10 adults, 2 children and a baby had a wonderful stay. The large open plan living space was great for socialising together with a very well equipped kitchen. There is also a wonderful big porch for dumping bags, coats and shoes. The cottage is 20 minutes from Fort William and is conveniently close to places of interest such as Ben NevRead moreis, Steall Waterfalls and Glen Coe. The sleeping areas are basic with twin beds in most rooms and not much space for clothes. But still a great place! Hide
