Loch Linnhe offers stunningly wild scenery and plenty of outdoor activities for the whole family. Whether you enjoy simply walking alongside the sea and taking in the views, or prefer something more active, this is the ideal location. Heading north to Fort William (15 miles), which sits beneath Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, you will discover several outdoor activity centres. From the adrenalin rush of white-water rafting to spotting golden eagles on a leisure cruise on the loch, there is something for everyone. A unique way to enjoy the stunning natural landscape is by steam train - enjoy a nostalgic ride on The Jacobite from Fort William to Mallaig to take in the magnificent views. Alternatively, take one of the many boat trips available on the loch – sit back and relax and watch out for dolphins, seals, red deer and golden eagles.

Enter this pretty, whitewashed cottage through the front door and you will find yourself in a lovely open-plan sitting/dining/kitchen area. The smart, contemporary kitchen is well-equipped with everything you might need for creating some tasty meals, and there is a handy breakfast bar where you can sit and enjoy a coffee before heading out to the hills. The dining table sits in one corner and the lounge area is invitingly arranged around a wood burner. With two soft and welcoming sofas and a large armchair, this is a cosy spot to kick back after a day in the fresh air. Throw another log on the wood burner and enjoy the glow on your toes. Next door, the utility room has a handy washing machine and tumble dryer. There are three lovely bedrooms; two doubles – one with a smart en-suite shower room – and a twin, all with crisp, fresh cotton bedding, lovely views and plenty of storage space. In addition, there is a family bathroom with a bath, handbasin and WC.

Outside, the cottage is surrounded by a large lawn and there is a large gravelled area to the front where you can sit and enjoy the peace of the surrounding hills and woodland. Safely enclosed, it is ideal for keeping children and pets safe.

Very comfortable cottage in stunning location with stunning views. Great to see deer coming down in the field to the rear of the property late afternoon. Smart TV, dishwasher, WiFi and dishwasher great to have. Boot room also good for drying down dogs. Great garden for dogs to run around in.

Really relaxing, comfortable, well equipped cottage in a beautiful location. We had a wonderful time. So many places to discover along the Ardnumurchan peninsula. Wildlife was amazing and the whole week was wildly beautiful.

Shepherd's Cottage was a wonderful stay. Exceeded all expectations. Clean, comfy, really well equipped and a LOT more spacious than it looks on the pictures!

Great cottage with all the facilities you could ask for. The fire place was great and kept us warm. So much to see and do nearby. Deers and sheep could be seen from the windows. Very private location which was perfect to get away and relax.

A great place to stay for touring this area of Scotland. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed watching the deer on the hills behind the cottage. Drove to the ferry a few times to visit Oban and Mull. A nice touch would be a little welcome hamper on arrival with milk etc as there isn't really anywhere close enough to walk orRead more drive that was open when we arrived. Lovely place though and would definitely recommend! Hide
