Blackwater Old Blar Cottages Fort William

Escape to Blackwater, a charming holiday retreat nestled just outside Fort William in the quaint village of Banavie. This delightful one-level house offers both comfort and convenience for your Highland getaway. Ideally situated in a peaceful spot just off the A830 (Road to the Isles) within walking distance of the Caledonian Canal and the famous Neptunes Staircase. Fort William town centre and all of its amenities are under 3 miles away. This is the perfect place to explore the Outdoor Capital of the UK or relax, put your feet up and unwind.

Step inside to discover an inviting open-plan layout, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas seamlessly blend together. The kitchen boasts integrated appliances, including a fridge/freezer, oven, and dishwasher, making meal preparation a breeze. Gather around the dining table for four and enjoy delicious homemade meals or local delicacies. The small yet well-equipped kitchen, tucked away at the rear of the property, leads to an outdoor area with a bench, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The secured gravel garden provides a peaceful setting for relaxation. Unwind in the living area, where two comfortable sofas surround a smart TV, ideal for cosy nights in after exploring the surrounding countryside. The accommodation comprises two inviting bedrooms, both accessed from the main living area. The twin room features a built-in wardrobe and a full-length mirror, while the master bedroom, located at the front of the house, offers a mirrored built-in wardrobe housing the hairdryer. Indulge in a refreshing shower in the large step-in shower, complete with a mirrored vanity unit above the sink. Highland Soap Company shower gel and hand wash are provided for your convenience. Feel pampered with the heated towel rail, ensuring warm towels after every shower. For added convenience, a separate vanity space with plugs and a large mirror is located just outside the bathroom.

Parking is available directly outside the property, making it easy to explore the stunning surroundings at your leisure.

Situated just a 10-minute drive from the bustling town of Fort William, guests have easy access to the main train station, as well as an array of charming restaurants, bars, and cafes to explore. For those arriving by train, Banavie Train Stop is a mere 5-minute walk away. Immerse yourself in the picturesque surroundings with the Caledonian Canal right at your doorstep.
