You will be inspired by the scenery at this attractive cottage boasting uninterrupted views of the Great Glen. Set by the River Lochy, renowned for its prolific salmon fishing, you will also see the tops of the sailboats on the Caledonian Canal on the opposite side of the river. The property is in a secluded location and, with its seven bedrooms, can sleep up to 13 people looking for a perfect Scottish adventure.

As you enter this beautiful holiday home, you’ll pass through the entrance hall and then the breathtaking open-plan living, kitchen and dining area. Enjoy the layout of this welcoming social space as your gaze falls on the floor-to-ceiling windows and the panoramic views of Ben Nevis. The lounge area has plenty of natural light and invites you to relax on the comfortable sofas, catch up on the day's events or enjoy a favourite movie on the Smart TV. With a charming wood burner, the cottage is a year-round delight. The cosiness extends to the dining area with a table in the middle of the room, perfect for enjoying a favourite or celebratory meal. You’ll love the well-equipped kitchen, which has everything you need to prepare meals without feeling left out of the conversation. On the ground floor you will find two twin bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and one twin with a shower room. Upstairs are four more bedrooms – one king-size, two twins and one single. There is also another bathroom and shower room on this floor. Throughout the property, you will notice the attention to detail: artwork on the walls and warm splashes of colour in the furnishings create a homely ambience. When you step outside, you will be impressed by the breathtaking view – the lovely garden area is unfenced and you can take a walk across the field to the river. A seating area and BBQ make a perfect combination for al fresco social evenings and dining while you take in the scenery. Ample off-street parking is available, and the nearest shop is in Fort William, 8 miles away.

For 8 family members on a long weekend for Remembrance Sunday, this was a fantastic venue. We were visiting Ben Nevis, Spean Bridge, Fort Wiliam, Glenfinnan Viaduct and the Commando Memorial. The house had everything we needed, it was cosy (once we got logs and matches) and instant hot water for showers after a day in the hills. Everybody loved it.Read more Only slight downside for us was having to drive, but it certainly did not detract from our stay. Definite home from home. Would return and commend. Hide

Our group of 10 included Munro baggers who were out on the mountains all day, others who were happy to be out walking some of the day and some who were happy to relax at the cottage. Ivy Cottage was the perfect setting for all of us. Dining out was never going to be easy for a group of 10 so we planned to do at home dinners. The facilities at Ivy CRead moreottage with its two cookers and plenty of crockery etc were ideal. There are some great eating places nearby but will need advance planning. Hide
