From the owner

Set amongst ancient oak woodland, Acorn Cottage has been described by our repeat guests as 'home from home'. This charming, modern, architect designed semi detached property is perfectly situated to allow you to relax in the tranquility of the highlands.

Panoramic upstairs lounge windows look out across the Caledonian Canal, Aonach Mor and Nevis Range ski centre. The imposing north face of Ben Nevis itself is visible beyond from the garden where Woodpeckers, Jays, Goldfinches, Nuthatches and Siskins are among the numerous species who visit the garden feeders. Buzzards soar overhead, red squirrels scamper through the trees, deer peer through the rhododendrons and pine martens hide in the shadows. All this even before leaving the comfort of this spacious well presented accommodation.

Acorn Cottage is ideal for families and couples alike and offers the perfect base for exploring Lochaber, Isle of Skye, Glencoe, Loch Ness and the West Coast. The comfort of two bedrooms offered by Acorn Cottage is ideal if you are a party of four or like a little bit extra space for your holiday, however, we can now offer Little Oaks (property ID 8768828) as a one bedroom apartment with king size bed within our grounds for couples or single travellers who want the same quality accommodation on a slightly smaller scale.

Whether you enjoy the white beaches of Morar Sands, Sea Kayaking around the idyllic seclusion of Arisaig, or high adrenalin pursuits of white water rafting near Ballachulish, Fort William the 'Outdoor Capital of the UK has something to offer guests of all ages.

Take an unforgettable trip on the Jacobite steam train made famous in the Harry Potter films or take a short ferry crossing to Mull, Iona, Ardnamurchan and Skye. Spot eagles on Loch Shiel or try your luck at whale/dolphin watching near Oban, For more active visitors, the area is an outdoor enthusiasts paradise, with world cup mountain biking, skiing/snowboarding and high ropes adventure only a short drive and cable car ride away.

Fort William boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland, with walking, climbing and cycling all year round. Walks are available to suit all abilities. Whether it be the long distance upon the West Highland Way or Great Glen Way, or the highest mountain in Scotland. Lochaber offers opportunities to scale Munros, or leisurely walk the areas many hundreds of miles of forestry and moorland tracks.

Acorn Cottage will be there to welcome you home. Thoughtfully decorated and furnished, we hope to offer you a quiet haven completely equipped to meet your needs.

We offer bike storage, an option to connect the two single beds together to make a second double bed and seasonal decoration of the cottage at Christmas.

Guests are advised that the downstairs bedroom has an ensuite, whilst the upstairs open plan plan living area provides access to both the master bedroom and adjacent bathroom.

Guests are reminded that there are no electric car charging facilities in the property. The running of cables from internal sockets through doors or windows is prohibited.

    Owner's reply:
    I note your review and am pleased you enjoyed your stay in our property. I was however, saddened to read your disingenuous review placed after being charged for damages and extra cleaning discovered after departure. As you will know, you were never asked to pay £620, a figure of £200 was made explicit in all our dialogue. This was by way of reparations for damage to the ceramic hob, burn/water marks on the coffee table and extra deep cleaning incurred during your stay. A figure of £100 was offered by yourself, which I accepted. Yes my standards are high. This is what my guests expect, what they deserve and why they keep coming back. Unfortunately, unlike other guests you omitted to report any breakages, but left a pattern of behaviour that resulted in my first claim for damages in eight years of conscientious business. Being a good host, is as important as the standards I thrive to uphold. It is disappointing that this one review has sought to damage that dearly held reputation.
