Ballachulish is in the heart of the heart of the Highlands, so many great walking routes within just half an hour drive in all directions. The Quarry Cottages are in a very quiet part of the village, with the village green just across the street. All amenities are fine, WiFi is great, and the staff is very helpful.
We stayed at this spacious accommodation in early November 2025 and used it as a base to explore Glencoe, Fort William, Morvern and Ardnamurchan. The accommodation was warm with large beds (we had beds configured as Kingsize) and was next to a delightful river with Autumnal trees (and frequent Jays). All the facilities were good and we ate our at the local Clachaig Inn on a number of occassions too. A comfortable time was spent here considering the amount of rain over the week.
We have been coming to these cabins for the last 10 years. Highly recommend. This year they are better equipped with toiletries , arrival goodies and kitchen equipment. Spotlessly clean , stunning views and a great base to explore the area.
After an Easter stay in adjacent cottage I had no hesitation in booking Hollytree cottage for a week when our sailing plans were scuppered by a seized engine. As our week approached we noted the previous week was not booked so we asked to extend our week by a further 3 days which was duly accommodated. We thus saw the cleaners on handover day when we weren’t - they were very friendly and helpful. The cottage was presented in first rate condition, clean and tidy. There was plenty of space - large dining table, good sized kitchen with all necessary appliances, and plenty of lounging space. Encl...more
Clean and comfortable. Good to have an en suite for each bedroom and plenty of space for 6 people. . Though each year the accountants seem to prune off .more of the little touches....soap in the bathrooms, decent quality loo roll, the pint of milk in the fridge...the bottle of wine for returning guests.... But it's still a great place to stay.
We enjoyed our visit very much. The cabin’s kitchen was well-equipped and its furnishings were simple, but in good condition. The setting is peaceful, but plenty of lively social action can be found next door at the inn’s restaurant and bar. A perfect blend of privacy and hospitality in a beautiful rural location!
The chalets are now getting very tired, and are in need of a good deep clean as a lot of cobwebs, especially in the bedrooms. On arrival we had no hot water, but this was very quickly resolved.. the radiators also needed bleeding, which again was resolved and made a huge difference.. Disappointed in the live music this year and a lot of the menu was unavailable as they had ran out… You can not pick a better location the views and scenery are just outstanding
Overall Arivonie is a nice cottage to stay in a spectacular location. I did have a couple of minor issues though. There were no tea towels provided which is unusual for a holiday cottage; I’ve never stayed in one that hasn’t had tea towels provided before. The kitchen in general is in need of a bit of an update in all honesty. The gas hob has definitely seen better days. My main issue though was that the owner runs a gallery business at the front of the cottage. This is absolutely fine apart from the fact that she sometimes accessed the garage. Again this wouldn’t be a problem apart from the f...more
We absolutely loved our stay at Camus Bhan. The location is fantastic, surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Glencoe and perfectly placed for exploring the Highlands. The accommodation was comfortable, welcoming and a lovely place to return to after a day outdoors. We had a wonderful family stay and would happily return.
We have stayed here and the other chalets on site (clachaig) many times and we’ve always enjoyed our stay) the location is fantastic) but on this occasion we noticed a few things that could be better (improved) The iron wasn’t for for purpose (the iron plate was all discoloured and peeled) The ironing board had no padding (it was just metal) we had to use a towel underneath to be able to iron clothing The TV was losing signal every 3-4 minutes, there is a note in the welcome pack about this but in this day and age you’d think an Ariel could be fitted (or cable) so the TV could be w...more
we stayed in Quarry house no 3 for a 2nd year in a row, we love the area around Ballachulish. the house has increased in rent by 30% compared to last year. This is disappointing to us, especially because nothing had been improved in terms of added value. The 1st floor still creaks a lot, which causes a lot of unrest at night, kitchen tools are dull, cheaply frying pans and no extractor hood above the stove, woodwork that has not been maintained. But all this we loved our stay in the house
Fantastic week with the family in great location and Superb accomodation. Thank you for your flexibility to extend our stay by one day :-)
