Sitting within a vast working and sporting estate, this characterful retreat is ideal for those hoping to enjoy some traditional Highland pursuits. The Killiechonate Estate boasts numerous hiking trails, from gentle riverside strolls to more challenging hill walks in the Nevis Range and Cairngorm Mountains. Nearby, the River Spean provides a scenic spot, while wildlife lovers can expect sightings of red deer and golden eagles. Famous for its Commando Memorial’, Spean Bridge is home to a fine choice of eateries and shops selling local crafts and produce. Further afield, Fort William (11 miles) sits on the shore of Loch Linnhe and at the foot of Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak. For less strenuous adventures, a gondola ride at the Nevis Range offers panoramic views, while the Jacobite Steam Train travels between Fort William and Mallaig – an iconic journey through the heart of the Highlands that famously features the Glenfinnan Viaduct.
Once home to the estate’s head stalker, this traditional cottage has been tastefully updated to offer all the must-haves of home. Step through the front door and the spacious entrance has room to store all your outdoor gear. Kick off your walking boots and feel the warmth of the underfloor heating as you head into the social hub of your holiday, an open-plan space with a chic kitchen at one end and, close by, a contemporary dining suite. Beyond, the lounge area comes complete with a choice of sofas arranged before a Smart TV and wood burner, while a separate utility room has laundry equipment and a handy drying cupboard. A shower room completes the ground-floor layout, complementing the bathroom on the first floor, which is where you’ll also find three beautiful bedrooms: a double, a twin and a single room with its own TV.
Enjoy food and refreshments in the garden – a door from the kitchen offers an effortless link between your indoor and outdoor living spaces. Parking for two cars is provided.
