About this property
Cosy, traditiional stone cottage in Glen Nevis with wood burning stove.
Shepherd's Cottage sits in Glen Nevis, at the start of the Ben Nevis footpath. Fenced within its own garden this stone-built 17th century cottage has good views over Glen Nevis.
The cottage now also has wifi access.
It has a particularly traditional atmosphere including a wood burning stove ( complimentary basket of logs ).
There are two main rooms and a bathroom all with heating. The bedroom has a king-sized double bed, bedside cupboards, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, two chairs and a radio. The other main room is the sitting room / well equipped kitchen. There is a dining table and two chairs, a settee, coffee table, well stocked bookcase and a television. The bathroom contains a toilet, wash-hand basin and bathtub with shower and a heated towel rail.
Across the drive the old stone barn has been converted into a walkers' bar/restaurant ( Ben Nevis Inn).
There's plenty of walking right from the door of the cottage if you don't want to use your car.
Walk up Ben Nevis; Explore Glen Nevis - along the river; the Lower Falls at Pollduh; Upper Glen Nevis Gorge and Steall Falls; the iron age hill fort site, Dun Deardail, on the hill opposite the cottage - just a few suggestions. We live at the farm house down the hill if you want any information about the area.
One mile from Fort William, Shepherd's Cottage is centrally located for day trips to, for example, the Isle of Skye and the white sandy beaches of Morar.
Take the steam train to Mallaig or a cable car up a mountain.
There are several golf courses close by. Visit the West Highland museum in Fort William or take a boat trip in Loch Linnhe.
We do not accept pets.
