Cottage vacation rentals in Strontian

Another long stay at Forge End has come to an end for my self and work colleague. Again a big thank you to Alea for accommodating us and looking after us over the past 13 weeks and during the booking process. Forge End has been a real home from home for us and has made a long period working away from home a really enjoyable. Your home in Applecross is real find for us and if/when we are required to visit Applecross you will be our first choice every time. Thank you again from both of us.

A great getaway with loads to do close by for whatever mood you're in - great towns and cities like Calendar and Stirling less than half an hour away, equally beautiful countryside and multiple waterfalls, lochs and walks to choose from on the doorstep. Our toddler loved the on site swimming pool and the grown ups enjoyed the peaceful views from the hot tub too! Rosie was so friendly and accommodating.

This garden cottage was straight out of a romantic fairytale! The gorgeous garden surrounding the cottage and the view of the water and misty rolling hills framed perfectly by a stone wall and ivy were just breathtaking (especially while sitting in the wood fire heated hot tub). The cottage itself was incredibly cozy. We had nearly gotten stranded on Islay with car issues and we weren’t even sure we’d get to enjoy this stop on our holiday. By the time we arrived, we were completely exhausted from the chaos of the previous 24 hours so this relaxing and welcoming space was exactly what we needed to decompress. ☺️ The cottage was well equipped and very clean! We had everything we needed and then some. Caroline was an exceptional host. She was remarkably responsive and lovely to interact with both prior to our stay (when we weren’t sure we’d be able to make it) and during our stay! Anyone with the opportunity to stay here, should absolutely do it! Thank you for everything, Caroline!!

We loved our stay in the waterfall cottage! It was a perfect place for our newlywed destination to kick off our honeymoon. The view is stunning and we loved drinking our morning coffee in the back porch taking it all in. The inside is very cozy and we cooked many meals in the kitchen which was well appointed. There are other lodgings directly adjacent to the property but fortunately were all vacant otherwise it would have been less private than expected. This is listed as a detached cottage, but a wall is directly shared with a cottage next door technically making this a duplex. A bit misleading but all good since it was vacant for our stay. Nina was responsive to all our questions which we appreciated. We loved Loch Tay, the Crannog Center, and Aberfeldy nearby. While there are no direct signs to get to the lochside, there are paths down to the loch through the gate or nearby boathouse lodge entrance from the road to walk down to see the water.

Lovely quirky cottage with plenty of space. Nice toiletries and welcome touches for both humans and dogs alike! Great walking for dogs direct from the door, just bring long lines if you are concerned about your dogs with sheep or deer as they are all around. One thing to note is that whilst one side of the garden is fenced the other isn’t, there is a low wall, a little jump down and you’re onto the wild hillside! Fine if you have very obedient dogs that don’t wander or hunt, not secure if you don’t.

Great location with fantastic views. The hot tub was easy to use and very nice after a long day of hiking. Beds were comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

We had a really lovely stay at the cottage, and as others have said the games room is fabulous fun, the horses were a huge hit with our kids, and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub after a fun day out! Thank you again Helen and family for a super place to relax and have great fun. We really enjoyed our visit.

We couldn’t have picked a better place to finish our week exploring Islay and Jura. The cottage is an absolute dream. A mixture of back to basics and quality amenities. Located a 10 minute drive from Craighouse but also with great walks straight from the door. The paps right on your doorstep gave us the most magical sunset sight. Rain or sun whatever the weather Jura wears it well. And Mrs Leonard’s cottage is the perfect place to come back to and either warm up in front of the fire or sip a wine or a touch of the hard stuff in the garden. I hope we will be back

We had a fabulous holiday and Anna's cottage was perfect, the scenery is stunning. The cottage overlooks the mountains and we caught a glimpse of the local wildlife. The cottage is central for many activities around the Glen Coe area. Thank you Anna for a wonderful stay.

We chose An-Tigh as a place to explore the surrounding area & islands..it was the perfect bolthole to spend a relaxing week away from our normal routine..the accommodation was perfect for us & our dog & had all the essentials needed for self catering..it is exactly like the photos & finished beautifully. It has the advantage of having a small shop that sells virtually everything a couple of houses away as well as a golf course..for those who are interested…both the ferries to Luing & Easdale are only a short drive away as well as the local museums & the gardens at An Cala..Oban is approximately 30 minutes away with access to the bigger ferries accessing Mull & the surrounding islands. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our week & would highly recommend Thomas & Alison’s accommodation.

Perfect place to stay if you are in the Fort Williams area! We were greeted when we arrived and felt right at home. Easy drive into town and around the Glencoe area with a beautiful view of Ben Nevis. Would absolutely stay here again!

We booked for a last minute get away and Tim & Judy’s place did not disappoint! The cottage was gorgeous and Tim was very helpful in getting us settled - peanuts were set right outside the kitchen window and we had red squirrels within minutes! Lots more bird watching was done throughout our stay :)) The fire and heaters kept us cosy, and the kitchen was well equipped. Will be returning soon hopefully!

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy countryside cottage. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the cottage had all the equipment we could possibly need — from kitchen essentials to comfortable bedding and even thoughtful little extras. The location is perfect if you’re looking to relax and unwind in beautiful natural surroundings. We enjoyed the fresh air and the calm of the countryside. The host clearly put a lot of love into the place, with plenty of charming details that made it feel both homey and special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, well-equipped escape in a lovely setting!

We had a relaxing and restful couple of days at John and Dora's...just what was needed after a hectic month of travel. John was most welcoming and helpful and the biscuits were delicious. The accommodation was very comfortable and we loved sitting in the lounge with the warm sun shining in on us. We ate at the local pub and had a ferry ride to Gourock...most enjoyable. We had some trouble finding Oakdene but that was NOT due to the excellent instructions, but because of roadworks. A very helpful local pointed us in the right direction. If you want to experience a piece of paradise this is the place for you.

If you need peace and quiet, this is the place for you. It was a perfect location to just absorb nature. The picture windows allowed us to gaze at the loch to our heart's content. We didn't miss having a tv and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. Many hike were within easy access of the home and we made the most of it. It is very cozy and easy to feel at home.

The location and property exceeded our expectations. It has everything you need with a little nostalgia on the side. The views are fantastic from anywhere on the island, with lots of walks and swim spots. The islanders were very welcoming, and provided helpful info re best swim locations. We swam once or twice every day, access is with care via a 'slate slide'. There is a lovely pub/cafe, The Puffer, opposite the cottage, but worth booking as it gets very busy, open Thursday to Sunday. Locally produced, reasonably priced art, jewellery and soaps are available. The island is a peaceful haven.

Alex's place was comfortable and cosy. We enjoyed our time there. Alex was very friendly and responsive to our queries and requests. He was proactive with suggestions on places to visit and things to eat. His recommendation for cullen skink is a must-try!

Lovely cottage with beautiful views surrounded by country side. Communication was fab including hints and tips for things to do. We had a great few days and will definitely stay again. Thank you!

Claire’s place was the perfect spot for relaxation after a day of mountain climbing! Easy access to get into town to run to the store as well as a gorgeous view of Ben Nevis!

I’ve stayed here on a few occasions both with family and on my own when touring the west coast by motorcycle. Every time i stay it gets better and more things are added to the beautiful garden for you to explore. Highly recommended and the Hosts can’t do enough.

Wir haben sehr kurzfristig bei Annie & Simon gebucht und es funktionierte alles einwandfrei. Als wir ankamen wurden wir persönlich von Simon empfangen und er zeigte uns alles. Sehr sympathisch. Das Croft ist sehr schön eingerichtet und wir fühlten uns sofort wie Zuhause. Der umliegende Garten ist wunderschön und darf auch begangen werden. Die Unterkunft ist nur wenige Gehminuten vom Urquhart Castle entfernt mit Sicht auf das Loch Ness. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

We had a lovely stay at Tracey’s guesthouse with its amazing views. Had a great meal at the pub as recommended by James, and cooked in the well appointed kitchen our second night. We had everything we needed and appreciated the breakfast provisions so thoughtfully provided. Would highly recommend!

Every detail has been thoroughly thought out in this lovely cottage. It's warm, comfortable and full of charm. The ever-changing view of the loch is a treat and it comes with a sheltered deck and a garden with resident baby bunnies! It's a great location near Glen Coe surrounded by incredible scenery.

The cozy cottage was not only historical but beautiful as well. Regina was super responsive and accommodating. Beautiful setting and if you like to golf, it’s just a short walk away. Thank you for the great stay and great nights rest.
