Lismore Cottage

Couples and small families will find Lismore Cottage a straightforward base for a Highland break. The detached house has two bedrooms—one with a kingsize bed, one with two singles—and two bathrooms, with a sitting-out area and lawned garden. Parking for two cars is on site, and the essentials are covered: electricity, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are all included.

The ground floor holds a kitchen with electric cooking, a utility room with a washing machine, and one bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs, the living room has views across Loch Linnhe to the mountains beyond, alongside a second bedroom and bathroom with shower. Two drying rooms mean outdoor kit can be dried between activities. The local pub is within walking distance.

The location suits anyone after outdoor pursuits: mountain biking, climbing, kayaking, walking and fishing are all nearby. Glencoe and Ben Nevis are a short drive away. Fort William, known as the Outdoor Capital of the UK, has shops and restaurants, and from there the West Highland Steam Train runs to Mallaig across the Glenfinnan Viaduct. Oban, about an hour south, has ferries to the Inner Hebrides. The area holds beaches, castles, distilleries and museums scattered through the glens.
