Outside, there is also a lawned garden, great for dining al fresco. The surrounding countryside offers a wealth of activities and excellent walking routes, whilst the nearby villages boasts a fine selection of shops and places to eat. There are a number of great activities in the local area such as the Indoor Ice Climbing Centre, the challenging Glencoe Mountains and The Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary.

The Scottish Highlands region
From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the rugged landscapes of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. The beautiful countryside of Dumfries and Galloway is littered with fortresses and strongholds, testimony to its dramatic history. Moving north, the Highlands are to Scotland what the Pyrenees are to France, with equally breathtaking scenery and fantastic opportunities for walking and mountaineering. Aviemore and the Cairngorms National Park are particularly famous for skiing, whilst Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain at 1343m, is a firm favourite for those seeking a challenge.
For the less energetic, the Whisky Trail provides a unique way of exploring many of Scotland’s attractions and for quieter moments, there’s always Loch Ness and a chance to spot the elusive monster! Scotland also has some of Britain’s best and cleanest beaches. Cromarty is famous for its bottle-nosed dolphins and Nairn, whilst claiming to be one of the sunniest and driest places in the country, has glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam. Several islands lie off the Scottish coast, each with their own character and heritage, however the Isle of Skye is probably the best known and most visited. As the largest of the Inner Hebrides, Skye’s turbulent geological past has bequeathed it a stunning coastline.
Experienced walkers are drawn to the Black Cuillin Mountains, whilst those less experienced have an array of lower level coastal walks from which to choose or alternatively, visitors can take some time to visit Skye’s capital, the charming harbour town of Portree.
The Glencoe area
Situated at the western end of Loch Leven, the peaceful village of Glencoe is composed of a scattering of houses and a lovely inn offering excellent food and refreshments. This popular spot for hill-walkers, climbers and holidaymakers is surrounded by rich, open countryside and boasts a variety of activities including many great walking opportunities and an abundance of wildlife. There is a National Trust Visitor Centre which tells the ancient history of the area whilst trips across the Ballachulish Bridge to nearby Fort William are also very enjoyable. Visitors can follow the coastal route south along the shores of Loch Linnhe to Kinlochlaich Gardens, enjoy a trip to Barcaldine Castle or call in at the Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary, where rescued seals are nursed back to health before being returned to the wild.

Guestbook for 2048 - Ivy Cottage
We have stayed at Ivy Cottage a number of times. Great cottage and a good base for walking in Glencoe.

,The location was the main reason for choosing this cottage. We both enjoy hiking and walking and the cottage is located in a nice quiet spot.

,It was an excellent base for the Western areas of Scotland, and Glen Coe was a wonderful setting. There was nothing we didn't enjoy about this holiday.
Mr & Mrs Swanborough, Deal, Kent

,As before, it was a long journey to get to the cottage but worth every mile. Great location to tour the West of Scotland - will be booking again next year. Thanks.
