Surrounded by rolling hills and towering pine trees, this picture-postcard cottage on the banks of Loch Linnhe will get tails wagging at its idyllic location and choice of walks from the doorstep. With three bedrooms, the cottage is the perfect destination for families or friends, including four-legged ones, seeking a rural retreat in the Scottish Highlands, but within reach of the popular tourist towns of Fort William (15 miles) and Glencoe (14 miles).

Entering into your hillside hideaway you’ll be barking with joy at the spacious open-plan living space where your pup will never be far from your side. Create tasty meals in the contemporary, well-equipped kitchen where you can enjoy a morning coffee at the breakfast bar. Enjoy evening meals at the corner dining table before sinking into one of the comfortable sofas with a wee dram and an evening of quiet conversation in front of the wood burner. At the end of the evening, retire to one of the three comfortable bedrooms, two doubles – one with en-suite shower room, and a pretty twin bedroom. Outside, your cottage is surrounded by a large lawn and enclosed gravelled area where your hound can stretch their paws while you sit and enjoy the peace of your surroundings.

Spend your days roaming the beautiful countryside surrounding your holiday home. Stroll to the tranquil Loch Linnhe (0.5 miles) for a ramble along the shoreline and a doggy paddle in the clear seawater. Stretch the paws with a hike to Corran Point (6 miles) and its quaint lighthouse, stopping in Ardgour for some refreshment in the dog-friendly inn. Further afield, discover the outdoor capital of Scotland, Fort William (15 miles), where you can climb Ben Nevis with your canine companion or hop onboard the dog-friendly Jacobite Steam Railway for a nostalgic journey through the Highland countryside.

Very comfortable cottage in stunning location with stunning views. Great to see deer coming down in the field to the rear of the property late afternoon. Smart TV, dishwasher, WiFi and dishwasher great to have. Boot room also good for drying down dogs. Great garden for dogs to run around in.

Really relaxing, comfortable, well equipped cottage in a beautiful location. We had a wonderful time. So many places to discover along the Ardnumurchan peninsula. Wildlife was amazing and the whole week was wildly beautiful.

Great cottage with all the facilities you could ask for. The fire place was great and kept us warm. So much to see and do nearby. Deers and sheep could be seen from the windows. Very private location which was perfect to get away and relax.

A great place to stay for touring this area of Scotland. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed watching the deer on the hills behind the cottage. Drove to the ferry a few times to visit Oban and Mull. A nice touch would be a little welcome hamper on arrival with milk etc as there isn't really anywhere close enough to walk orRead more drive that was open when we arrived. Lovely place though and would definitely recommend! Hide
