The Cottage
Schoolhouse Cottage is a one bedroom cottage sleeping two people which is available for a minimum of three nights in the summer and two nights for the rest of the year. The cottage has gorgeous views and brilliantly located for exploring the highlands. Contact Chris & Sarah or book instantly via Airbnb. The cottage is light, bright and warm with views of Loch Linnhe, Glencoe and the mountains beyond. The spacious living room has a vaulted ceiling and leads on to an open plan kitchen and dining area. The bedroom has a king-size bed with a memory foam mattress and fitted wardrobes. The whole cottage is decorated in restful, neutral colours.
Surrounding the cottage are beautiful gardens with an outdoor seating area. Across the road, steps lead on to a secluded beach where you can enjoy the views and dip your toes in the crystal-clear water.
Free Wi-Fi is provided, along with a TV/DVD player, a bluetooth music system, and a fully equipped kitchen and washing machine.
The cottage is best suited for couples, and we can provide a cot and high chair for wee ones. One dog is welcome by prior arrangement at no additional charge.
Guest Access
The cottage is exclusively yours for the duration of your stay and has its own front and back doors, ensuring private access. Guests can reach the shingle beach by crossing the road.
Interaction with Guests
Chris and Sarah are the owners of the cottage and live next door in "Tigh Sgoile", which is Gaelic for "School House" and was the former village school. Living next door means that we are on hand in case you have any queries. We would also be delighted to give you recommendations about places to visit and local pubs and walks.
