Bidean Cottage suits families, groups and couples wanting Highland space without crowds. The three bedrooms sleep six: a kingsize, a bunk bed room, and two singles upstairs. There's one bathroom with a bath and shower. The ground floor has a living and dining area with a kitchen that's properly equipped for cooking—electric oven, dishwasher, microwave and all the basics. Bed linen, towels and heating are included, and a welcome pack arrives with you. One dog stays free.
The cottage stands alone in a quiet valley three miles from Glencoe village and sea lochs, surrounded by the mountain ranges the area is known for. You have private parking for three cars and a garden with seating and a picnic table; a barbecue is on site. The rear garden is shared with one other property. Walking starts from the front door—the glen path runs alongside a burn, and numerous hills and Munros lie within reach for those who want them. At night there's genuine dark sky for stargazing. The property is reached by a mile-long farm road off the main glen route. Note that there are steps at the entrance and a small wildlife pond in the grounds. No smoking inside.

What guests say
Fantastic location in Glencoe area, up a long driveway to a secluded spot among the mountains. Outside the door is access to wide open, beautiful natural scenery. We hiked directly from the cottage a couple of the days. The house is well equipped for cooking. A bit cozy for our group of six but definitely adequate. Hot water was sufficient for six showers in a row! Our only issue was accessing the property. We had read that the driveway was long, but didn’t realize it would be bumpy and rutted. Our sedan rental scraped bottom multiple times going up and down it. Suggest renting a Jeep or similar high suspension vehicle if staying here. Nearby Clachaig Inn was great for dinner and music on Sunday night. Nice small gallery in Glencoe village and look for Yum Yum Burger food truck!

Stayed here for 11 days over new year. Fantastic location and exceptional views of the nearby Aonach Eagach. We did plenty of winter mountaineering and managed several excellent days out from the cottage. Plenty of parking up a private lane and great facilities in the cottage. The cottage is within walking distance of the Clachaig, an excellent establishment to visit. We particularly enjoyed the lack of internet but were able to get weather forecasts from just outside the cottage.

The cottages are set in a stunningly beautiful location with 5 star walks on the doorstep. We received amazing hospitality from our hosts who are keen to share their environment and to ensure that everyone has all they need to enjoy their stay. Super helpful advice all round and everything spotlessly clean.
