Lapwing Rise
Lapwing Rise is a bungalow on our croft in Banavie, near Fort William. It's detached and looks right out over the Caledonian Canal towards Ben Nevis. The view is the main thing. You can see the mountain and the ski range from the garden.
It sleeps eight in four double bedrooms. They all have their own bathrooms, which is handy. It's got a 4 Star rating. It's a modern, warm place, not an old draughty cottage.
There's a pub and a restaurant just a few minutes' walk down the lane. The local shop is about three quarters of a mile away. You're right on the edge of things here. It's peaceful, but you're not miles from anywhere.
Fort William is four miles down the road. It's got supermarkets, places to eat, and a swimming pool. The West Highland Line steam train goes past in the summer, the one they used in Harry Potter. It's quite something to see and hear it chuffing along the canal.
You're in the middle of it all for outdoors stuff. Walking up Ben Nevis starts in Glen Nevis, which is just there. Skiing at Nevis Range is a short drive. For sailing or fishing, you're close to Loch Linnhe. If you want to drive out, Glencoe is about half an hour south. Loch Ness is under an hour to the east.
The house has a washing machine, dishwasher, WiFi and a woodburning stove. Bedding and towels are included. There's parking right outside. The garden is enclosed. And yes, there's a hot tub. You can bring two dogs.
