Taigh Seonaig Glencoe

It's called Taigh Seonaig. It's in the village of Glencoe itself, so it's handy. Detached house, so no neighbours through the walls. You get a garden, fully enclosed, which is good if you've got kids or a dog. Sorry, pets aren't allowed. It looks out over fields towards the mountains.

It sleeps six. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms. One is on the ground floor. There's a shower too. It's a 4 Star place, so it's comfortable, modern enough. It's all on one level except for two bedrooms upstairs. The stairs are fine.

The village has a small shop, a cafe, and a hotel with a bar and restaurant. The closest one is about 400 yards away. The river is just across the road, down a bit of a slope. Loch Leven is a short walk.

Fort William is about twenty minutes' drive. They call it the outdoor capital. You can get the Jacobite steam train from there in summer. It goes over the Glenfinnan Viaduct. The gondola up Aonach Mor is nearby for the views.

In the other direction, Oban is less than an hour. That's where you get ferries to Mull and other islands. You can also take the Corran ferry nearby to get to Ardnamurchan, or drive up to Mallaig for Skye.

Obviously it's walking and climbing country. Glencoe ski centre is right there. For a gentler day, there are forest trails and lots of historic stuff. Plenty of wildlife about.

For facilities: it's got parking, WiFi, a washing machine, dishwasher, TV. Bedding and towels are included. There's a cot and highchair if you need them. The entrance and main living space are wheelchair accessible.
