Property code: OC-88687

You’re sure to have a wonderful holiday at this remote property with breathtaking views in the Highlands of Scotland. With seven bedrooms, it makes a fabulous holiday base for a group of friends or extended family – and naturally that includes man’s best friends. Take the lead and head outdoors into the beautiful wilderness of the Great Glen, whether that’s for hiking or cycling amid the inspiring scenery. Or let Fido sniff out the River Lochy across the field and walk along its banks looking for salmon. After a long day, let sleeping dogs lie under the large dining table as you discuss the day before cosying up by the wood burner.

There’s plenty of room for two- and four-legged holiday companions in the striking open-plan living accommodation. The contemporary kitchen fulfils all self-catering needs, with a sizeable table to eat at and stacks of comfortable seating arranged around the wood burner. The feature floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outside in, so both you and your furry friend can sit and dream while looking out towards the hills! This space also boasts practical hard flooring with rugs, an ideal spot for those cosy dog beds. Outside, the large garden is not enclosed, so dogs inclined to roaming should be kept under close control, preferably on a lead!

Set tails wagging exploring the shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants of Fort William (8 miles) – many are happy to take dogs. Quaint Spean Bridge with its commando memorial is just 2.5 miles away. Both of these places have a choice of vets for peace of mind. If you plan on climbing Ben Nevis, make sure there’s someone to take care of your canine companion as the terrain can be hard. Instead, they might enjoy wandering the countryside close to the property.

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
