Guests say
Island View House is a well-equipped, comfortable cottage with lovely beds and a great setting for walking. It boasts a hot tub and sauna, adding to the enjoyment of guests. The proximity to a hotel restaurant and pizza is a plus. However, some guests noted areas for improvement in maintenance and cleanliness.
Cleanliness
Guests appreciated the provision of towels but noted the property could benefit from a spring clean, with mentions of dusty skirting boards and cobwebs. The oven's cleanliness was questioned, suggesting room for improvement.
Location
The property is praised for its beautiful location, ideal for family gatherings and enjoying the scenery. Its proximity to a hotel restaurant is also appreciated, although the presence of midges in June is noted.
Comfort
The beds and bedding are described as very comfortable, contributing positively to the guests' stay. However, concerns were raised about the adequacy of dining space and cutlery for larger groups, as well as the comfort of the pillows.
Facilities
The hot tub and sauna are highlights, but guests reported issues with the sauna booking process, a lack of teaspoons and bottle opener, and a non-functional sliding door. The hot tub's privacy and the property's general maintenance were also points of contention.

About this property
Enjoying glorious views of the countryside in Glencoe, Scottish Highlands is the fantastic, detached holiday home of Island View House. With its stylish décor and easy access to delicious eateries and shops, this holiday home makes a superb base for a family of 10 looking for a Highlands adventure. Make use of the handy, private parking on arrival, before heading inside to be welcomed by the warm and pleasant sitting room, where a crackling woodburning stove envelopes you with warmth and plush sofas entice you to kick back and relax. Progress through the property to the fabulous kitchen/diner, a space enjoying shaker-style cabinetry and a stylish colour scheme throughout; the chef of the group will be happy to find a range of appliances and ample food preparation space. When a delectable dinner has been rustled up, tuck into it at the nearby dining table whilst you catch up on those outdoors adventures. When sleep calls, choose one of five tastefully furnished bedrooms, with the first one being the master double, a space enjoying access to a contemporary, en-suite shower room, along with three more fabulous doubles and a twin. The family bathroom has been finished to a high standard, enjoying wooden flooring and metro tiling, so you can freshen up in style, whether that be in the relaxing bath or the walk-in shower. To the rear of the property is a garden featuring a bubbling hot tub and an oak barrel sauna, a spot promising ample relaxation after a jam-packed day. Make the most of the dwelling's location and venture next door to the marvellous Glencoe Gathering or Red Shed Pizza for a bite to eat or travel a short distance to the nearby shop to pick up some ingredients for a homecooked meal. Get to know your surroundings, by venturing along the Glencoe Lochan Trail, with its access to lochs sporting salmon and sea trout, as well as ample mountain sports, such as mountain-biking and white-water kayaking. The area is also known for being home to a range of filming locations, including those from Harry Potter: such as the Glenfinnan Viaduct, Steall Falls, and Skyfall's Glen Etive; after exploring these stellar sights, be sure to indulge in a meal out at one of the many nearby eateries, including the Steak & Lobster Bistro and Fish & Chips Co. If you're after some adventure, embark on a hike along the West Highland Way to come across the sights of Buachaille Etive Mòr, River Coe, along with opportunities to hike up Ben Nevis and ski the slopes of the Glencoe Mountain Resort. There is plenty more to see in the wider area, with Fort William and Oban resting a scenic drive away and making for lovely days out. An unforgettable break awaits at Island View House. EPC Rating: Band D
Glencoe, located at the western end of Loch Leven, is a tranquil village with a scattering of dwellings, a tiny museum, a shop, and an Inn serving good cuisine and drinks. The surrounding region is a popular destination for hill-walkers, climbers, and tourists alike, and it offers a range of activities, including many wonderful walking options and an abundance of wildlife that should not be missed! A terrific spot for the whole family!
