We had to leave the accommodation because of family problems. However as we opened the door there was a bad damp smell. We found the kitchen very damp with black mould on the wall. The bed was very hard and the furniture was very tired. The stairs were quite steep and the outside steps would have been quite slippery when wet.

Glencoe Cottage is a wonderful property, lots of character, wonderfully maintained, surrounded by amazing landscapes that will take your breath away, in a great place to go exploring what the area has to offer, easy access to local bus routes, lots of walks, and adventures to be had. Loved our time in Glencoe, lost our hearts to the Highlands

Great place to be based to explore Glencoe and the surrounding areas. Very peaceful and secluded but amenities and activities nearby if needed. If you enjoy peace and quiet then this is the place for you.
