Capercallie is one of two 4 star, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom holiday cottages on the Portnellan Estate that can sleep up to 8 people.
With a newly refurbished, spacious open plan kitchen and dining area with breakfast bar the cottage benefits from a large social area within the kitchen/dining area.
French doors lead to the living room with a large sliding door out to a private patio with garden furniture offering unrestricted views over Loch Dochart and its castle ruin, the rugged and dramatic Glen Dochart, the famous munro Ben More and the surrounding mountains. A truly magnificent Highland setting and a view that will be hard to beat from a self catering holiday cottage in Scotland.
With all the comforts from home (and more) the Capercaillie is equipped to a high 4 star standard with an upstairs king size double bed in the master bedroom with a commanding view across Glen Dochart. The bedroom has an ensuite shower room. 2 further upstairs double bedrooms with a shared family bathroom with bath and overhead shower. Downstairs there is a further twin bedroom with large single beds and an ensuite walk in wet room room with power shower.
4 star treats include soft Egyptian cotton bed linen, towels and Arran Aromatic soap. We pride ourselves on the comfort of our beds with all beds being hotel grade pocket sprung. A holiday would not be a holiday without a good night's sleep. Also included is an entertainment system with 37" LCD TV with SKY TV package, Blu Ray DVD and WiFi.
Capercaillie is surrounded by a true Highland landscape. Situated within the glen and commanding views over the Glen Dochart. Often complimented by the abundance of bird and wild life that an be seen on the estate. It is not unusual to see the deer meandering off the hill and passing nearby the cottage into the lambing meadow.

"A really great base for exploring this beautiful part of Scotland, and lots to keep the family occupied, from canoes and bikes, to games and DVD's. Lodge very clean, well maintained and equipped, and with plenty of its own space. The loch and mountain views, the peace and restfulness of the place, even the purity of the tap water, all make you want to stay. Review posted 13th August."
"My daughter rented two cottages at Portnellan for the celebration of her 21st birthday. We had no idea what to expect before we arrived, and we had travelled from the United States to attend her birthday. The magic of Portnellan added to the magic of seeing my daughter turn 21. What a beautiful location, and the cottages were lovely vacation homes with everything we could need."
"Everyone had a terrific time, the young ones and us old-timers! Thank you to the gracious staff (namely Cameron's family.) You made us feel welcome and made her celebration a delight!"
"I highly recommend these cottages for anyone who loves a magical place to sleep and roam in one of the most magical places I've ever been! Review posted 14th August."
"Outstanding as usual. A warm welcome from Cameron and family. Spotlessly clean lodge , stunning scenery and great touring base. Would recommend this to anyone looking for luxury self catering in Scotland. Review posted 12th August"
