Garden Cottage For Two, Close To The Sea And With Views Of Ben Nevis and Parking

Garden Cottage For Two, Close To The Sea And With Views Of Ben Nevis and Parking

At the beginning of the Ardnamurchan Peninsular and in the centre of Lochaber,
this is one of the most unspoilt areas of the West Coast of Scotland. The mountains are so close you can almost touch them, and the sea is but a stone's throw away.

The Garden Studio is set within an eight acre plantsmans garden with an important collection of Rhododendrons, Acers and Sorbus as well as viewpoints and garden benches for far reaching views towards Ben Nevis and Glencoe. Off the beaten track of the main tourist attractions of Fort William, Glencoe and the Nevis Range you are still within each reach, with a twenty minute drive to find them all. The flowering season for the garden is April and May and we also have amazing Autumn colour during September and October. For Garden Lovers these are the months to visit.

Catch a ferry for a short five minute crossing and enter another world of peace and quiet away from the A82.

Walk for five minutes to a sandy beach with footpaths to the shipping way mark in the middle of Loch Linnhe and look south towards the isle of Lismore and beyond to the Firth of Lorn. Watch the seals on the rocky outcrops in the loch, reachable at low tide or go out at dusk to try and spot an otter returning from its evening feed.
Walk along the old drove road in Glen Gour between the hills towards Strontian where you might see and eagle, Golden or White tailed. There are several Corbetts within walking distance of the house so you can even spend a day climbing a hill without using your car.

Parking is for one car and there is access to a locked carpark if required.
With a self contained garden, this cottage is dog friendly for a maximum of two for a fee.

Architect designed to a high eco specification, the open plan living space has passive ventilation, large dining table for six and two french doors opening onto a private courtyard garden surrounded by a hedge of roses. There is a wood burner and underfloor central heating and an enormous bookshelf of books. Perfect for a winter holiday as well as the more conventional summer months, the Garden Studio is open throughout the year. Supplied with a smart TV and Free sat box it is the perfect place for a cosy winter retreat. There are two bathrooms, one ensuite with a double ended bath and on the ground floor, a wet room with walk in rain shower.

Wifi is provided on a community network. The water is from a private supply and goes through a UV treatment tube, ensuring delicious soft highland water with no chemicals.

Home grown produce is occasionally available with fresh herbs and salads grown in the polytunnel. Homemade marmalade and chutney are part of the welcome pack, inspired by the cookery book written by previous owner, Constance Spry. Free range eggs are provided from our hens and sometimes we have honey from our local beekeeper.

Studio Retreat
Exactly as described, couldn't have asked for a nicer out of the way location for a relaxing holiday Anna and Norrie are lovely people, the studio was spotless, cosy and had everything you could need including a lovely welcome pack of goodies Plenty of walking, Cycling and driving routes right on your doorstep with jaw dropping views The crossing from Corran over to Ardgour is a tad pricy at £10.00 each way if doing regular trips across in the car f.o.c for foot passengers, we decided to buy a book of 30 tickets for £76.80 which in the long run saved us quite a lot and still have some tickets left over so we will be returning within the 12 month Month (got to get your monies worth) Thank you Anna and Norrie for sharing your lovely Studio look forward to a return visit Kind Regards Mark & Sharon

When booking the property: communicated all information needed to facilitate our stay clarified Covid precautions etc. Situated close to the loch and river the property is simple and cosy but provides everything you need for a comfortable stay including internet, Netflix! and an extensive, fairly eclectic book collection. Annie and Norrie happy to help but not intrusive. Loved it !!!!

Peace and tranquility
Garden studio is a fantastic place to stay. Remote, quite location but within easy reach of the Corran ferry ( 5 mins). After a day exploring on the pebble beach at the end of the lane or going bit further to glen finnan or down to the wildlife hide , if was lovely to come back to the snug cottage and lite the log burner. The Cottage was warm with underfloor heating, bright with double patio doors and cosy with 2 lovely big couches to relax on. Loved hearing the owls in the night in the tree in the garden. The hillside garden is a wonderful haven with great views of the Loch from the benches at the top. Brewery 5 mins down road does fresh baked bread 2 mornings a week and pizza on a Friday. All fab. Have a pint while waiting for your pizza. Recommend this cottage if you want to get away from it all and enjoy proper Scotland. Thanks to Anna and Norrie for a great welcome .

Glorious, flora and fauna everywhere
What a wonderful tardis of a house. It felt like home away from home and Anna and Norrie had thought of everything, even down to a wee dram of the best whisky we've ever had. I loved watching the huge array of birds pm the feeder, and the sight of a greater spotted woodpecker each day was such a treat. The garden is inspiring, stunning and slightly mind boggling in its scale and intricacy. Wonderful.
