About this cottage rental
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.

Beautiful cottage exactly as described and pictures. Very cozy. Proximity to Ben Nevin is perfect and the Ben Nevin Inn is a great dinner option if you don’t want to drive. Loved it.

Just awesome place. It was exactly what we wanted a beautiful cottage,private w/wood stove Plenty of firewood, host was great although we didnt need anything except firewood (we had a fire in the morning and again when we returned) didnt need any other heat source. Host responded quickly to refill the wood bin outside. Hiking was exceptional, views unbelievable never been to Scotland and it was wonderful. one of the best VRBO stays and we have stayed in many before! Only thing not correct in the listing was there wasn't a laundry machine we counted on to do mid-vacation cloths washing. But the stay over shadowed that dissapointment.

The keys were in the door ready for us. Everything we needed was available. Wi-Fi was good. Only issue was the staff door to the Ben Nevis Inn, it made a loud banging noise when people were coming in & out. The cottage was extremely comfortable.

2nd time staying here, and if anything a wee bit better with the addition of the extra armchair in the living area.
Cosy fire, comfy bed and a remarkable amount of storage for a small cottage.
Location doesn’t disappoint either.
Hope to be back for a 3rd time at some point.
