Absolutely loved our stay at Pine Marten cottage. The owners provided the best welcome pack we’ve ever had on arrival, even a bottle of wine! The location is great, lots of walks nearby and Dale can give you advice about where to go. There’s a decent Co-op in the village with a post office, an information centre/cafe, a couple of restaurants and a fish and chip shop. Glencoe village is within walking distance with a great cafe and the Glencoe Gathering does very good food. We also walked to the NTS visitor centre in Glencoe (just under 3 miles each way), but to venture much further into Glencoe you need wheels as I wouldn’t recommend walking beyond the visitor centre alongside the A82.
The cottage had everything we could have needed. A very well supplied kitchen, including a freezer (very handy for stocking up on goodies from Marks & Spencer in Fort William). Lots of storage in the bedrooms, and as there was only two of us we had a wardrobe and six big drawers each! I always look for a property with a super-king size bed, and this one was so comfortable, got to be one of the best we’ve had in a holiday home. Lovely bathroom, and an additional downstairs loo was a bonus. And the heating - superb! Lovely and cosy and warm to come back to, especially on a rainy day. Luckily we only had two of those. We’ve stayed in several properties around Fort William, Glen Nevis and Glencoe, this was our first time in Ballachulish and we will be back next year for sure.
P.s Excellent WiFi, thankfully as no phone signal from my provider inside the cottage.
