This was the second time we have stayed at 1 Quarry Cottage, a great location for the hills and everything you need in a cosy cottage. Also near supermarket and other amenities.
We don't normally provide a review, but in this case, we have made an exception. We had originally booked Number 3, Quarry Cottage in Ballachulish, but were offered an "upgrade" at no extra cost, as the Ballachulish property became unavailable because of staff issues. The provided photos of the property are misleading and do not show the single track approach (in poor condition), or the tight parking area. The property itself is in poor condition, with jamming window frames, faulty kitchen joinery, poor kitchen appliances (except for, inexplicably, two full size refrigerators), and ventilatio...more
We were delighted with the lodge here. It was well equipped, spacious and very homely. The patio was an added bonus where we enjoyed soaking up the stunning scenery. It was a delight to sit by the window and watch the birds and the mountains. Having the inn on the doorstep was great for food and drinks out too. Thank to all staff there. They work so hard and are very friendly/helpful.
It is nice that there is a ramp at the entrance but the terrace on the backside is not accessible for wheelchair, so it is not possible to sit outside. The gravel is also not suitable for wheelchairs.
We loved staying in the Birch Cottage - it had all the amenities that we needed (cooking facilities, laundry, easy parking, general comfort) plus a great view of the mountains. Very convenient to many sights and walks of the area. We also had dinner and drinks (beer) at the Inn a couple of times and the food was also very good - especially recommend the venison chili! We'll be back on our next visit to Glencoe...
It took me some time to research and decide on location, setting, comfort and accommodation as well as access to a range of walks to suit the needs of three couples for our first holiday together and, I am so glad I chose Clachaig holidays as it ticked all the boxes for everyone - nothing but praise from the entire group! The property setting is exactly as shown in the brochure pics: breathtaking. The communications from the team were faultless. When I next return to Scotland I will most certainly stay there again.
We’ve stayed in the Clachaig chalets many times and will do so again. They are comfortable and well equipped and very conveniently located close to the Inn itself. We tend to self cater for breakfast and lunch and eat in the Boots Bar most evenings. It has a wonderful relaxed atmosphere, a good menu and great staff. And of course the local scenery is pretty awesome too!
The location was ideal for tackling the hills in Glencoe. We found the chalet cosy and perfectly suited to our needs. The kitchen was very well equipped, The signal for the mobile phones was intermittent. The entrance drying room was just great! It was so good to get our boots and clothing dry overnight.
Enjoyable stay in a beautiful house in even more beautiful surroundings. The view to both mountain and sea was gorgeous. The house was just as described and had everything I needed. The heating was very welcome in this very cold June week!
The house is spacious and very comfortable, and very well equipped to be warm if needed in cooler weather. Great beds, pillows and linen, good kitchen facilities, a lovely dining room with plenty of seating should you need it. Enjoyed watching the setting sun, with a wine and cheese, from the front deck. Easy access to Glen Coe day walks. We enjoyed Devils Staircase for spectacular glen views - many directions. Enjoyed our meals at the host inn. Recommend also the National Trust visitor centre - it has two short films on the area, great coffee, weather reports and walking track advice from ex...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 :-)
