Loads pros but unconfortable mattress
Very nice open plan kitchen/living room. Cosy wood burner - shame the ashes were not emptied after previous visitors.Place is nice and warm. A but hard to find, the owner could send what 3 words in the insteuctions which would help a lot.Lovely view feom the kitchen and master bedroom.The master bedroom had some stains on the walls (i dont want to know where that came from!!!) Unfortunately i am giving only 3 stars because the mattress was horrendous, and taking in account we are spending 1/3 of our days in bed this is important for me. This mattress was memory foam and it definietly remembered many many many previous visitors. I felt like sleeping in a hole.However on a positive point its a good location for hiking in Glencoe or Ben Nevis range. Shop in Ballachulish is well stocked.I would definitely book again if the mattress was changed.

Perfect Location for Southern Highlands
Cottage ideal for the 2 of us in October but unkept garden would have been a pain in summer if sitting out. Perception of property not fully cared for-lightbulbs missing in bathroom, no spare bin bags,no kitchen towels,diluted washing up liquid and a request for new toaster acknowledged but not actioned. Also fridge not turned on at arrival Easy to resolve and if done would thoroughly recommend as very comfortable and excellent location.

Sehr schönes Haus mit tollem Ausblick nach hinten heraus. Sehr sauber, alles da, was man braucht, schöner (eingezäunter) Garten für Mensch und Hund und das Ganze in wunderschöner Umgebung. Vielen Ausflugsmöglichkeit in der Umgebung, aber auch viel Ruhe zum Entspannen. Bequemer Checking und Check-out dank Schlüsseltresor. Wir haben uns rundherum wohlgefühlt und kommen wieder! Danke!

Return visit
Another wonderful stay in a clean, comfortable & well-equipped cottage in an ideal location. Halfway between two parkruns, easy access to the Caledonia Way & a short drive to the Nevis Range. Just what we wanted. Hope to return again soon.

Nice cottage with wonderful view
Very nice and modern cottage. Especially the large kitchen and living room were very comfy, and the view from the garden to the mountain just behind was wonderful. The location was ideal for visting Glen Coe. It takes you about 20 min to the three sisters car park. To Oban it takes approx 45min. If you are sensitive to noises please be aware that the cottage is located at the main road to Oban. All in all we really enjoyed our time at Ben View!

Geweldige verblijfplaats!
Zeer ruime en nette woning met fantastisch uitzicht, ideaal gelegen om uitstappen en hikings te doen. Heel fijn dat er een kachel is, na de regen en kou deed dit deugd. Prachtige omgeving. We zagen zelfs herten vlakbij in het wild!

Cozy cottage
We stayed in this cozy house for a week, two adults and three children. It was clean and tidy and nicely furnished. Bed linen, towels - everything was provided. We wanted for nothing. The kitchen is fully equipped and it was fun to cook on the gas stove. What we couldn't see from the advertisement is that it is a semi-detached house. We have three boys and therefore prefer to book detached houses so that we don't disturb any neighbors. The location is ok, but it's not much fun to walk along the road, the cars speed past you, so we only walked directly in the area once. Otherwise, we drove about 30 minutes by car to the surrounding area every day. Then you can reach Ben Navis, the beautiful Glen Coe valley and much more. The key handover was uncomplicated with the key safe, otherwise we had no contact with the landlady. All in all, we really enjoyed our stopover at the cottage.

Lovely break
Lovely property and great location. Visiting the Scottish Highlands was on my husbands bucket list. It didnt disappoint. The settees in the property were extremely low but we had lots of laughs trying to get up off them. Great break away

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in Schottland und im Ben View Cottage. Es ging viel zu schnell vorbei. Die Anbindung des Hauses ist gut, man hat alles in der Umgebung. Landschaftlich kann man sowohl die Highlands (Glencoe) und die Küste rund um Oban entdecken.

Schönes Haus mit kleinen Nachteilen
Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt. Allerdings gibt es zwei Punkte die erwähnt gehören. Die direkt am Haus liegende Straße die doch sehr viel befahren ist, auch in der Nacht sehr zu hören. Die Wohnlandschaft ist sehr alt und durchgesessen. Mit Rückenproblemen ist ein hochkommen fast nicht möglich. Ansonsten zentral gelegen, alles vorhanden was man so braucht.

Logement agréable à proximité de multiples lieux de balades
La maison est spacieuse et très fonctionnelle , on s’y sent très bien. Le jardin a une vue magnifique et était un vrai plus pour les enfants qui allaient y jouer dès le matin. Le logement est à proximité de nombreuses randonnées. Nous sommes restés là 4 nuits et avons rayonné autour pour éviter les changements quotidiens avec les enfants, et c’était parfait. Nous recommandons à 100%.
