Blackwater Cottage sits in Banavie, a village threaded by the Caledonian Canal. Neptune's Staircase—the famous lock gates that lift boats between canal levels—is within walking distance. The A830 passes nearby, making it straightforward to reach Fort William and the wider Highlands. Everything happens on one floor: an open-plan living and dining space, a kitchen fitted for self-catering, two bedrooms (one double, one twin), and a shower room. Bed linen and towels are provided, along with wi-fi and heating.
The kitchen has an electric oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The double bedroom has a 4ft 6in bed; the twin has two 3ft beds. A walk-in shower and heated towel rail are in the bathroom. There is parking for one car on site. The cottage is non-smoking.
Banavie offers views of Ben Nevis and has a supermarket, pub and takeaways in nearby Caol. A level walk or cycle runs from the village into Fort William. The area suits anyone wanting to base themselves for exploring Highland scenery—the Caledonian Canal, coastal walks towards Corpach, and the surrounding mountains—or those simply needing quiet countryside close to town facilities.
