The cottage is very spacious and comfortable.Everything you need is there. Nice dogwalks nearby. There is a big ramp to the entrance, so it is accessible for disabled people. But indoor it is not really suitable for disabled people, because the edge of the shower is too high. It would also be nice, when disabled people could go outside from the backdoor. The gravel ground on the backside is not suitable for
wheelchairs.
In the chest table we found old nibbles.

We had an excellent time at the Holly tree cottage. Due to the rain we had wet shoes and clothing every day. The cottage was warm, spacious and comfortable with oppotunity to dry shoes and clothing. Enough warm water for showers of a family. We were very happy to have seen Scotland and to have stayed in the cottage

Clachaig very helpful throughout process and always available.
We were pleasantly surprised by the cottage and it exceeded our expectations. A decent drying room, en-suite new shower rooms, beautiful access to the river, location in Glencoe.
We had no issues with showers. The WiFi signal was weak but okay.
3 cottages are joined and you are dependant on the other neighbours.
We are rebooking to stay again as we liked it very much.

Lovely house in a lovely location. We especially enjoyed paddling in the river, and the beautiful walk up to the pub. Very friendly staff.

The main bedroom smelled of stale smoke for the whole week. A little help with how to drive in on arrival would have been good as Google maps think that the old entrance (now a field) is still there.

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.

Would I stay here again most definitely! Lovely and spacious cottage and very cosy too. Bigger Tv would be a bonus if the weather is bad but not essential. Thank you for a lovely really enjoy it.

This is a lovely property in a beautiful location. There are plenty of local amenities, and places to see both near and far (not so far for most), and provides a tremendous base for a holiday in the Highlands.
The service provided by Clachaig Holidays is excellent - the boiler was not working on the Sunday of our visit, the team had it fixed by the evening.

We have used the cottage for several years and always found it to be well presented and equipped with everything we need. Any minor issues were reported to the helpful staff at the Clachaig Inn and were attended to promptly and without fuss. All good, thank you.

Cottage was roomy for 4 of us as it sleeps 6. Could do with a deep clean really as shower head disgusting and cobwebs everywhere. Wardrobe door handle loose and towel radiator not working. Bulb out in bedroom too. Tumble drier filter filthy. The decking is so slippy my wife fell and hurt her knee. There is a sign but you need to stand on the decking to access the key safe and it was wet due to heavy rain., £70 a week for the dog is excessive.

Very happy with Holly Tree and will book again. A 4 for for location as the access road is very rough which no problem for a car but meant my 95 year old dad couldn’t scoot from the cottage - but not many places are as wheelchair and frame accessible as this one!! Great views, comfortable beds, good bathrooms and well equipped kitchen.

The house is large, warm and clean. The location is good with amazing views of the mountains and a lovely river behind. The bedrooms are a good size and the outdoor seating areas really useful.

The driveway to the house is quite potholed now, so you do have to take care.

We would stay in the house again.

Things to note, as a resident, you can book a table in the Clachaig Inn Boots Bar, this is really helpful on busy nights.

The local bars and restaurants are all struggling for staff, so you have to book in advance for food, many are only doing food for residents. We ate at the Garison West, which was excellent. The Bothy Bar was closed to none residents, the Glencoe Cafe was closed all week, the Glencoe Gathering only did food for residents despite their website saying they did takeaway pizza and fish and chips.

One slight problem. The double bed mattress was very hard. (This was only a slight problem).

We have stayed here for a week for the past few years. It’s always good, easy process re booking. Cottage itself is well equipped and has been fitted with a new fridge freezer and cooker since our last visit. It really works well for us, each bedroom being en suite, with 5 blokes in the cottage it’s well sorted. Drying room and washing machine mean no wet gear.

We really enjoyed our stay at Holly Tree Cottage. We were a family group of 5 adults. Having three bedrooms en suite was perfect for us. There was much more space than we had thought, the rooms were all very clean, and the entrance hallway was very elegant. The porch was great for leaving outdoor footwear, and there was plenty of space to hang up jackets etc.. The beds were really comfortable. The kitchen was great and we self-catered for a couple of nights and ate out at the Clachaig Inn the other night. The cottage was very clean, really cosy, plenty warm, and we had a very relaxing time. The location in Glencoe Village is ideal, plenty of walks from the cottage, close to shops, etc. and great views of Glencoe itself. The communication and information follow up from the online booking was very good & friendly, getting in to the cottage very simple, and there was plenty of relevant information provided in the cottage. Would definitely come back for another/longer visit.

This is our 2nd time staying at one of these cottages.
I cannot describe how stunning this area is.
The accommodation was roomy, comfortable, cosy, convenient.
The stunning location is just something you could sit all day and look outside the window.
A stream outside the back steps, call me nuts but I couldn’t help but paddle my toes every morning.
I cannot recommend this accommodation any more. It is the best place to stay, stroll into town and walk to the Glencoe massacre monument. Convenience, beauty and comfort all in one.

Loved our stay in Holly Tree Cottage. Everything you could possibly need is provided. Cottage is very comfortable. Bed linen is provided and excellent quality.

Very good cottage, warm and spacious with good facilities and great location only complaints are....
Fridge space is small for this number of people and the fridge shelves were missing and we couldn't put milk in fridge as it leaked when lying on one side. This issue was communicated to staff who agreed and promised to rectify it.
TV is ok but would be better if larger and a smart TV

A spacious chalet with comfortable surroundings. The added benefit of being next to the river means a prime spot for bird spotting and if the weather is good a safe place for children.

We (me and 4 others) have stayed here before and, as usual, it was very good. Tricky times with Covid and regulations but all was sorted with minimum of fuss. Cottage was cleaned and ready for us when we arrived.
The only thing I would ask is if the trays in the fridge door could be replaced as with 5 in the cottage, fridge space is at a premium and the milk storage door bins would be great.
Thanks a lot, we’ve booked again for 2023, see you next year,

Fantastic cottage, comfortable, well heated, lovely décor, and great value for money
Amazing location, beautiful outlook, 30 to 50 min walk to pubs but great value local taxis
So many things to do in the area, and so much to see, lots of simple walks and some rather challenging ones if you are up to them.
Close to lots of other places and activities
Accommodation of a high standard, all in all, but some things do need attention and have been mentioned before, fridge has no door shelves so makes a small fridge even smaller.
Door to bathroom in small double needs fixed.
Only 5 mugs for 6 people, a tad unfortunate, when there was plenty of anything else you require in a kitchen
Just said to help improve your amazing accommodation

The cottage is situated in a lovely, quiet spot next to a stream. Ideal base for touring Glencoe. Plenty of lovely walks and places to visit.
The cottage is comfortable, warm, plenty of room and well equipped. Cleanliness was adequate but could have been better. There are a couple of things that could do with some attention although they didn't spoil our holiday they were somewhat annoying: the kitchen bin needs replacing.....it is a pedal bin, way too small for 6 people. The fridge needs replacing, the shelves in the door are broken and cannot be used. The bathroom door in the double bedroom needs attention, when closed you are unable to open it from the inside.
We did enjoy our stay here but just thought I should bring these matters to your attention.

The cottage is in a beautiful location and an easy walk to Glencoe village. The issues we had with the cottage were fairly minor. The sofa was very soft and it was hard to get comfortable (the problem being made worse by the fact cushions had to be removed due to covid restrictions). The door to the ensuite bathroom in the double bedroom needed a good push to open once you were in there. Also the shower in the master bedroom only seemed to get luke warm and the shower tray in the twin bedded room was very slow to drain. Another small problem was that the trays in the fridge door were missing making it difficult to store milk and the pedal bin in the kitchen was really too small for a party of 6 people. As these were small issues we still had a great holiday and would make a return visit.

We booked Holly Tree Cottage as a base to use while we walked part of the WHW from Bridge of Orchy to Fort William over 3 days and to give us somewhere to relax afterwards. The cottage suited this purpose perfectly. On arrival we found the cottage ready for us, windows open and cleaning complete. It's comfortable furnished, with plenty of glasses, cutlery, crockery, etc., all you need for a self catering stay. Would comfortable sleep 6. Its location with direct access to the river is pretty good too. Certainly somewhere we'd consider using again. The only problem we really had was with the WIFI which didn't work for the whole week, something to do with a "supply problem" rather than in the cottage itself. It wasn't a major issue for us as there's a great 4G signal so we used our mobile data. A couple of other minor points I'll mention in case it helps others..... firstly although it is a very quiet location, it's one of three attached cottages and there are other houses quite close by, so its not completely private. Secondly while there's a nice patio with seating/tables to the rear of the property it is directly outside a bedroom of one of the other cottages, so some consideration around disturbing the other guests might be needed. Having said all of that, it would be pretty good location for a large family gathering if you could book 2 or 3 of the cottages together.

Overall though, its good value for money and one we'd consider using again.

A perfect well appointed self catering cottage all on one level. 3 double bedrooms all with en-suite and a nice sized living/dining/kitchen. Has everything you need. Set in beautiful grounds next to the Glencoe river. Perfect base for visiting many areas but equally perfect for beautiful walks in the area. So many walks! Also very close to tea rooms, shop, garage etc. Would love to return !

Fantastic accommodation in one of my favourite places in Scotland. Relaxing week for us all, made so much easier by the wonderful Holly Tree cottage. Everything we needed was available, great layout, very clean , no concerns so could therefore enjoy the week relaxing exploring the area.
Hope to be back soon. Thank you

Lovely stay in Holly Tree Cottage, well-appointed, exceptionally high standard of cleanliness, and very comfortable home from home. Beautiful location, and excellent customer service from booking to post-check-out. We'd love to stay again, and would not hesitate to recommend (in fact we already have!)

We are a family of 6, with 4 teenagers and a well behaved dog. The accommodation wasn’t the easiest to find but once we got directions from reception all was fine. The house is set amongst other similar rental properties in the heart of Glencoe village. Surrounded by mountains, rivers and lochs we all set about making the most of the area. Mountain biking, paddle boarding and wetsuit swimming in the river at the end of the garden.
The house is comfortable and has everything you need to enjoy a weeks stay. The famous Clachaig hotel is a 20 minute walk away. We popped along for dinner and drinks in the Boots bar. You’ll have a wonderful stay at the Holy Tree.

We used the cottage as a base for a winter mountaineering holiday and the location couldn't have been better. We never had to travel more than three or four miles to get where we needed to be and on a couple of days we even walked into the mountains from the cottage.

The cottage itself is spacious and well equipped and very comfortable. It is not the most spotlessly clean holiday cottage I have ever stayed in, the main problem being damp on the bedroom windowsills. The cottage is also showing a little bit of general wear and tear but that wasn't really a problem for me. On the whole I was very happy with the cottage. The staff at the Clachaig Inn were also very helpful and friendly during the booking process. I would certainly use the cottage again.

This was our third stay in a Clachaig property and this time was just as good as the last two. Glencoe and the surrounding area is a great place for adventure for all the family.

Holly Tree was a great place to stay with quite, spacious,warm and comfy.

We'll be back.

Stayed at Holly Tree with my family and we had a wonderful time. Both the cottage and the location were perfect, lots of lovely walks and central for day trips on the Jacobite Train, day trip to Eigg and Neptunes Staircase. Plenty of lovely places to eat out nearby too, including the Clachaig Inn of course!. The accommodation was amazing and I would definately go again.

Property excellent. Big porch for taking off the boots. Lovely big hallway leading through to invaluable drying room.
All three bedrooms great sizes each with ensuite. Very nicely furnished throughout.
Lovely comfortable corner sofa in lounge area.
Gorgeous ever changing views of surrounding Glencoe hills from the garden.
River Coe 20 metres from the back door. Great for children paddling and dog chasing sticks.
You won't need or want to go far if you stay here. Glencoe's overwhelming beauty is on the doorstep.

Very convenient and comfortable cottage. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds with good quality bedding. Toiletries in bathroom a nice touch. WiFi was very intermittent and often did not work at all. Overall cleaning was fine but there was a bit of a mess in the freezer, the interior of the cupboards needed attention and the cutlery and crockery had been put away without being checked - some was not as clean as you would like.

Overall, the cottage is excellent. It's beautifully decorated and super comfortable. From a catering perspective (I was cooking for four clients all week) the kitchen bin needs to be much bigger, some replacement bin liners would have been good, a recycling receptacle in the kitchen would be really helpful and the dishwasher was leaving bits of dried food stuck to everything, so all washing up had to be done by hand. The drying facility in the utility room is very effective but needs to be bigger for 5 to 6 people. So, thank you to The Clachaig for such a beautiful and comfortable place, we would stay again and perhaps you could make the kitchen more user friendly?

Modern, well equipped, spacious cottage. Great location with fab views. The road leading from the main road is a single track and a wee bit bumpy but well worth the drive! This is my second time staying at Hollytree and I look forward to my third!

This was our family holiday with friends and our first stay in Scotland. The location of this cottage was superb for the areas we wanted to explore during our holiday. We were excited for our holiday especially after reading the reviews. On arrival the reception staff didn’t seem that helpful, even though we’d phoned during our journey and explained the journey has been over 10 hours long and were hoping to gain access to the property. I’d also spoken with the staff upon booking and one week prior to our holiday. Finally received keys after patiently waiting whilst enjoying a pint, however had to chase reception rather than reception informing us. The road to the cottage is awful, some large potholes and space only for one car. Ample parking. First impressions of cottage upon entering, the porch is out dated, good space for shoes etc. Hallway lovely with nice furniture. Living area acceptable. Bedrooms all with ensuite great as sharing with friends, which is one of the main reasons we choose this cottage. Most of the time someone had to sit on dining chair as seating not ample enough for 6 people. Outdoor furniture also didn’t accommodate 6 people. Bins and recycling full up on day of arrival therefore I had to use a large bin liner to accommodate our recycling for the week. They boys sorted the bins. All the bed linen from previous tenants left in green house in full view on day of arrival. The cooking pots and pans weren’t great either and need upgrading as we cooked 5 nights out of 7. The windows in the cottage grimy and condensation on each day. As the week progressed we noticed mouse droppings in the kitchen and bedrooms. WiFi was lost for at least one day. The wardrobes smelt and all our clothes needed washing once home.
On the whole we enjoyed our visit to Scotland and look forward to returning again in the future but found the accommodation very disappointing and most certainly wouldn’t stay or recommend to anybody as this wasn’t a reasonable price to pay for this standard.

We had a week's walking holiday in October staying at the Holly Tree Cottage in Glencoe. Having previously stayed in various accomodations around the area, we enjoyed our stay there very much The cottage was very clean and well equipped, and was so quiet and peaceful which was a big benefit. The free wifi was of a very good speed and strength, the only minor faults we thought were the small tv hanging from the wall with all the cables to sat box and dvd in plain sight. A larger tv in a corner unit would make for a better looking area, and also the recent introduction of £10 per night charge for a dog seems steep.
But overall, very glad to recommend the cottage, we enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked it again next April!

Stayed for a week at Holly Tree with my daughter, son in law, 2 Grandsons & my friend.The 3 bedrooms all on suite were very comfortable and spacious. The cottage is in a beautiful area and Glencoe is stunning. We had deer walking past the cottage much to my Grandsons amazment being townies. For a holday on Scotlands west coast its ideal being short drive to Ft William and slightly longer to Oban. The train to Mallaig from Ft William is a must. I will definately be back, thanks Clachaig Holidays.

My holiday was that good I immediately booked a second week. HollyTree is a great place to stay with all the comforts from home and everything you need locally. The local people of Glencoe always give a warm welcome to all and make you feel right at home from your first day. I would highly recommend Clachaig holidays at Glencoe to everyone. I’m heading back again October.

I would recommend clachaig holidays to anyone wishing to have a holiday at Glencoe and the surrounding area. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The accommodation is clean and comfortable and you can order some of your groceries for your arrival which is really handy. The co op is just down the road as is Crafts and things and great places to eat. There is also really stunning walks right on the door step and everyone is friendly. I’m looking forward to my next stay.
