Perfect accommodation in stunning scenery
The property was perfectly equipped for a family holiday, spacious and practical it allowed being together and retreating to one's cosy bedroom. The kitchen equipment was above the usual standard, we were able to cook lovely meals for all. On a rainy day the room with the washing machine and dryer could be used to dry clothes and shoes. The location allows nice walks from the house and entry points for fantastic walks, for example the West Highland Way or in the area of Kinloch Leven, are not far away. We could have stayed another two weeks!

Perfect location in Glencoe Area
This was a beautiful property perfectly situated at Loch Leven and convenient for day trips to Oban, Ft William, Fort Agustus and the surrounding areas. We stayed busy exploring and hiking the area. There were a few restaurants and a nice grocery store close to the property, which has been beautifully restored and well taken care of. The kitchen was nicely equipped and the washer/dryer came in handy. The property manager was very responsive to our 1 request and provided thorough arrival and property information prior to our arrival. There was only me and my husband, and our adult granddaughter came the 2nd week - the property os large and allows for plenty of privacy - which helped as 1 was working remotely - the HS internet was never an issue. This was the perfect place for two weeks, during our month in Scotland.

Lovely Property
This was a great property in a location that really suited our needs. The house was larger than we expected and was warm and comfortable with all the equipment and cooking facilities necessary. The location was great. The Loch Leven hotel was good for food and a drink and my electric car was able to be charged at the Ballachuilish Hotel CPS charger only 15 mins walk away. We both enjoy runningand walk

Very enjoyable house in good location
Felt the available photos did not do this property justice, significantly larger in the flesh than I was expecting, well finished and prepared to a high standard. Close to some local shops for essentials or a short drive (20-25 minutes) into Fort William for a bigger shop. Nice quiet location with good access to Glencoe to the south or Fort William & the road to the isles North. Had a great holiday here and would stay again without hesitation. Thanks to the owners for their advice on local walks & cycle routes, we got lucky with the weather & made the most of the area - not often you can say that regards the West of Scotland!

Just perfect
The cottage was perfect for a small family gathering . We loved the open plan kitchen/dining/living area where we could all spend time together a well as the individual bedrooms which were spacious and had very comfortable beds. There was a pleasant walk to the local bar and only a short drive along the beautiful loch to the seafood cafe. Shops, cafes and more great walks were in easy reach. We even managed the Ben! A lovely time was had by all of us.

Perfect stay at The Old Stables
The cottage is very lovely, spacious, perfectly equipped and very clean. It's conveniently located, close to the Glencoe and not far from Fort William, but very quiet. The communication with the owner was always swift and very pleasant. We will definitely be back!

Warm, homely winter hideaway in a beautiful location.
The property is immaculately decorated to high standards, very clean and comfortable. We always joke that we struggle to find a holiday cottage with sharp knives but this did not disappoint! Very well equiped kitchen for all our chefing needs. The children were happy and comfortable in the large twin room, and the master suite is exquisite. Plenty to do nearby for any highlands lover, I'm sure we will be back!

Dear Laura, We are very glad you enjoyed your stay and many thanks for the positive feedback. We will try and keep the knives sharp for you! And if you come again and find anything other than perfectly sharp knives please email us and we will swap out with one of the many new spare knives in the shed! Regards, Alltshellach Cottages

Perfect Place
Wir haben unseren Urlaub in dieser schönen Unterkunft sehr genossen. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll, sauber und die Küche komplett eingerichtet. Uns erwartete ein warmes Haus mit einem netten Willkommensgruß (Kaffee und Tee). Wir waren im Loch Leven Hotel zu einem sehr leckeren Abendessen, absolut empfehlenswert und nur einen kurzen Fußweg entfernt. Alle Informationen über die Gegend sind vorhanden. Wir haben aus dem kleinen Büchlein (40 Wanderungen in der Umgebung) 6 Wanderungen an drei Tagen gemacht und müssen schon deshalb zurückkommen, um die anderen Wanderungen zu machen! Wir können das Haus nur empfehlen, auch die Lage ist wirklich perfekt. Vielen Dank an die Gastgeber.
