Lovely spacious cottage in Glencoe. The welcome pack was excellent, the cottage was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The cottage is well located for the farm shop, local restaurant and pub, as well as local walks. Further afield, Oban and Fort William are easily accessible from Glencoe.

A beautiful cottage in the heart of Glencoe village opposite the Farm Shop and Cafe and in easy walking distance of the restaurant Moss and the local Inn. We were greeted with a lovely welcome hamper and flowers.The cottage was picture perfect with amazing views up the mountain pass, perfect for checking on the Scottish Sunshine! The cottage offered plenty of space for our family of four; a cosy snug, a spacious dining area, a seating area next to the kitchen, space to store outdoor clobber, comfortable bedrooms with plenty of storage. There was plenty of space to be together but also plenty of spaces to enjoy different activities at the same time. The kitchen was one of the best equipped we had encountered in a holiday let with plenty of crockery and pots and pans making self-catering very easy.Would we come back? Certainly!

Oakwood cottage is fabulous, with lots of character. It is immaculate and super clean. There is nothing at all missing and the beds were very comfortable.The layout of the property is great, very open, light and airy. The two sitting areas are lovely. It’s the sort of place you would be very happy reading a book or watching a movie if the weather isn’t ideal!The garden is super and looks out to wonderful views of the nearby mountains. The owner and house keeper were both very friendly and helpful when we had a query. The cottage is in a lovely location - Glencoe village is super and we enjoyed exploring locally. There are several eateries around, and the cottage is very accessible to lots of other beautiful spots including Ben Nevis and wonderful waterfalls.
