Capercaillie Cottage

Capercallie is one of two 4 star, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom holiday properties on the Portnellan Estate that can sleep up to 8 people.

With a spacious recently refurbished open plan kitchen and dining area with breakfast bar the property benefits from a large social area. French doors lead to the living room and a large sliding door leading to a private patio with garden furniture offering unrestricted views over Loch Dochart, Glen Dochart, the famous 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 property in Scotland.

With all the comforts from home (and more) the Capercaillie is equipped to a high 4 star standard with recently having installed a brand new fitted kitchen, silk curtains throughout and wood effect flooring in the living areas downstairs. Upstairs there is a king size double bed in the master bedroom with ensuite shower room with a commanding view across Glen Dochart. 2 further upstairs double bedrooms with family bathroom. Downstairs there is a further twin bedroom with large single beds and ensuite wet room room with power shower.

4 star treats include soft Egyptian cotton bed linen. We pride ourselves on the comfort of our beds. A holiday would not be a holiday without a good night's sleep. Also included is an entertainment system with 37" LCD TV, 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.
