Beautiful 3 bedroom cottage in the heart of the Scottish highlands
Set in beautiful Glen Duror in the heart of the Highlands, and less than one mile from a beach at Cuil Bay, which is ideal for swimming and water sports, 'Lorien' is an idyllic three bedroom detached cottage with stunning mountain views - one double and two twin bedrooms. With forest walks and rivers right on its doorstep, it is the perfect location to explore the Scottish Highlands. The cottage is surrounded by the most beautiful and spectacular scenery in Scotland. Cuil Bay, a lovely sand and shingle beach (ideal for watersports and swimming) is less than one mile away and the seaside town of Oban with all its facilities (including boat trips to the Scottish Islands) is just 20 miles to the south.
The area has excellent skiing in winter. The Glencoe Ski Centre is just seven miles away, while the town of Fort William, Britain’s highest mountain ‘Ben Nevis’ and the Nevis Ski Centre (dry slope in summer) are just 16 miles to the north. Ski and Snowboard equipment is available to hire at both of these centres. Lessons are also available for beginners.
There is also a spectacular 9 Hole golf course, with views right across the Lochs less than 5 miles away at Ballachulish. Along with 18 hole golf courses at Fort William and Oban.
Latest Rental Review: Rob, Merseyside, UK - November 2008
We've just back from our trip and feel the need to post a quick review! The house itself was lovely- inside and had all the facilities you would expect and the garden is kept immaculately. Our little ones (age 5 and 7) won't be parted from their two dogs, so it was refreshing to find out the owners were happy to allow pets to come along free of charge.. Was wonderful being able to look out of the window onto an amazing view (and see sheep happily munching away opposite the house). Much of our stay there was spent walking around taking in all the lovely scenery - beach, mountains and countryside all in the same place! You really need a car to get around, but once mobile there are lots of things to do within a half hour's drive. We took the children to the sealife centre, which was a fun day out, although we did have to explain to the youngest that, no, she couldn't take a seal home with her! Had a sightseeing trip to Ben Nevis and snapped a lot of pictures (hurrah for cheap memory cards) and popped into the Ben Nevis Inn on the way back - great food and really friendly staff. We didn't get to the ski centre this time, but that's on our list for a later visit. Overall, fantastic way to escape for a week. Definitely recommended!
