Garbhein Cottage

The space
The decor is light and bright and the views surrounding the cottage are beautiful.

Wild deer can sometimes be seen grazing on the hillside and in the pasture at the front, especially during winter when they come down the mountain to sleep.

The cottage contains two bedrooms, each with a king size bed, and two bathrooms, one on each floor, the one for the second bedroom is ensuite. The cottage comfortably accommodates 4 people. By prior arrangement a single bed can be brought in to the downstairs bedroom to add flexibility to the sleeping arrangements.

There is a log burning stove, gas central heating and a combination boiler that provides instant hot water.

The well-equipped kitchen includes an oven, microwave, fridge, separate freezer, washing machine  and dishwasher.

The internet connection is excellent and there is a TV, DVD player and Bluetooth music system, which you can connect to other devices to play your own music. We also provide a selection of DVDs and CDs for your use.

This is a place to come if you are looking for a peaceful holiday in a snug retreat amid the spectacular beauty of the Highlands. We love this cottage and hope that you will enjoy staying here.

Additional Information
We have only relatively recently bought Garbhein Cottage, but it has been a very popular holiday let for 6 years, during which time it had 100% 5* reviews. I am working with the lovely previous owners to maintain the high standard they set as hosts.

Please note, although the house itself is fine for babies (you’ll need to bring a travel cot) and children, they should be supervised at all times in the unenclosed garden. Similarly, dogs can easily roam beyond the garden, and there are deer in the area.

Please get in touch if you can’t see the dates you wish to book, we may be able to offer flexibility.

If you will be bringing a dog with you, please let us know when you book.

We provide a starter supply of logs/kindle, and you can buy more of both locally as required. Logs can be used in the wood burning stove in the lounge, and in the fire pit outside (both are wood only).

Although there is a local bus service running between Kinlochleven and Fort William, you’ll really need a car to tour the area properly, although you can get essentials down in the village, 10 mins walk away. There is parking beside Garbhein Cottage for one car. The track is gravelled and well drained, accessible to all domestic vehicles.

Additional rules
A fifth person can be be accommodated by arrangement on a good quality bed, with a supplement of £20 pppn.

You are welcome to bring your dog for an extra £30 per stay.

Kinlochleven, Lochaber, Scotland, United Kingdom
Garbhein Cottage is located in the heart of the spectacular beauty of the Scottish Highlands, close to Glencoe, 21 miles from Fort William, and an hour from Oban. The small, friendly village of Kinlochleven is 1 mile away and from there you can join the West Highland Way going in two directions. The village has a good range of amenities, including 2 pubs, a Co-op, Post Office, and Ice Factor, with Europe’s largest ice climbing wall, regular climbing wall, excellent cafe and grill. Near to Ice Factor is Scotland’s only Via Ferrata, a unique and exciting activity that runs beside the third biggest waterfall in Scotland, The Grey Mare’s Tail. From the village, there is a lovely walk to visit this waterfall.
