Sitting in a glorious position elevated above the Caledonian Canal at Gairlochy is this contemporary, single-storey holiday home, Eildan. With a spacious design, breathtaking views and charming tartan finishings paying homage to the idyllic Scottish landscape, this home makes the ultimate escape for friends, families and avid walkers. Inside, the bright and airy sitting room hosts plush seating and a Smart TV, the perfect space for cosying up after a long day of walking through this picturesque area. From here, the fully-equipped kitchen/diner welcomes you to cook up a storm, from the induction hob and dishwasher to the wine cooler and coffee maker, the space has everything for your self-catering needs. Enjoy your delicious meals at the dining table for eight, or venture outside onto the decking with furniture for dinner with a view. As you grow tired, retire to one of four beautifully-presented bedrooms; the master super-king-size also has its own shower room and access to the patio, followed by a king-size with an en-suite, and completing the bedrooms are two twins. Completing the interior is a sleek family bathroom, where you can savour a long soak after a ramble. When you’re not indulging in your surroundings and gazing upon your Ben Nevis and Aonach Mhor scenery, you can head out to find a wealth of natural beauty on foot, or in the car. Perfectly positioned close to the Great Glen way and Caledonian Canal, there are ample walking opportunities from the doorstep. Thrillseekers may want to try the local mountain biking or hit some altitude with a day or two of skiing. Within easy reach is the delightful town of Fort William for a variety of restaurants and pubs, along with a cinema, shops and distillery so you won’t be left short of activities. Slightly further afield, you can find easy access to the west coast and spend a day at Mallaig and Arisaig or take a trip on the Jacobite Steam Train. Whatever your style of adventure, Eildan is a fantastic choice, year-round.
Fort William, the principal town in the Western Highlands, is located on the banks of Loch Linnhe and has a broad variety of stores and pubs that serve an excellent assortment of meals. The area has stunning scenery and a wealth of walking activities, ranging from mild strolls to more demanding treks, as well as Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis. Skiiers will also appreciate the Nevis Range, a ski resort with a mountain gondola and a World Cup mountain biking track just four miles from Fort William. Take a tour of the Ben Nevis Whisky Distillery or visit the Glenfinnan Monument for a more peaceful respite. A fantastic base for visiting the magnificent West Highlands.

I would thoroughly recommend this accommodation, and look forward to staying here next year when we visit the area for the Scottish Six Days Trial.

Quality fixtures, soft furnishings and everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday. Owner available if required and very helpful. Absolutely no complaints just a little feedback would be for a socket near the mirror & a seat for hair drying and also maybe door hooks and more shelving in the bathrooms - would not hesitate to return or recommend!

We had a great stay here - it is nicely situated with beautiful views of the surrounding area with plenty of privacy whilst only being 15-20 mins to Fort William. The house was clean with all of the facilities that we required. There is plenty of outdoor space and once the garden and outdoor areas have become more established (bearing in mind we stayed when it was essentially newly built) it will be even nicer.
