    The cottage was very clean. Kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for self catering. Great base to go hiking. Would very much recommend this place and looking forward to coming back. Thank you for everything.

    The location was brilliant. Nearby Co-op that catered for all your needs. Chippy, patisserie and pub. Mountain View’s from doorstep.

    There were only 2 wine glasses. Could have done with glasses for prosecco. A bigger TV would be good, it was difficult to see or hear it, we ended up putting it on the table. Parking outside was a bit of nightmare. Even though we had our own parking, when we came back, people where parking up to pop in the chip shop or the patisserie.

    The location was perfect. Really cosy cottage, lovely views.

    The instructions for key collection were very clear and it was a simple process to find keys and get into property. One of the smoothest check-ins I've had! The kitchen was amazing- we loved cooking dinner together in the cottage. Location was 5 mins walk from stunning Ballaculish lookout spot on the Loch and just moments from incredible Glencoe vistors centre - highly recommend. Coop groceries just across the street. Seriously couldnt have made this stay any better!! Amazing 10/10!

    We arrived too early, our fault, and it was stressful to check in, after which no one showed up and the house was simply open. During the entire stay, the hosts didn't have the slightest concern about whether everything was going well or whether there would be any problems. We can't watch television for a single day. Access to the mobile network is practically impossible in the area.

    Very pleasant accommodation, kitchen equipped with everything you could want. Very pleasant interior decoration.

    Honestly, we can't think of anything we did not like about Holly Cottage. In over a month traveling through Scotland, this was our favorite lodging. We would not hesitate to stay here again or to recommend to others.

    We loved the Holly Cottage! The entire space was very welcoming. The bed and bedding were comfortable, the living room was cozy after a long day out, and the kitchen was well-outfitted. The hosts did an excellent job on decor (so many small details to notice!) and provided for all our needs. We particularly appreciated the washing machine and drying rack, since we spent a lot of time hiking in wet conditions. The location was ideal for us - quiet but close to a market and the main road. We enjoyed walking through the town. As a bonus, there is a wonderful bakery steps from the front door.

    We were instructed not to alter the heat, but we found it cool for our preferences. Also there was a clothes washer but no dryer and that wasn’t helpful when we had lots of rain during our stay; so line drying wasn’t a possibility.

    Well supplied kitchen. Comfortable bed.

    a minor issue, but the electric heaters wouldn’t turn off even when off at the wall.. so it was cosy!

    Very clean and comfortable (bed was very cosy after a long day, but quite small for a couple). The cottage is homely too, well equipped and very easy to figure out how everything works. really enjoyed reading a few of the books about Glencoe too

    Absolutely nothing wrong with the property, but January is very quiet in the area and several nearby restaurants and activities aren't open - I wish I'd checked!

    Good location, very responsive hosts, gorgeous cottage, super clean and great amenities in the home. Warm, cosy, quiet, and very romantic. A perfect place in beautiful surroundings.

    Nothing!

    The cottage is very comfortable, warm, plenty of space with a separate kitchen which had all amenities we could think of. The whole house is squeaky clean and everything works. A huge positive bonus for us was the decor, with interesting old photographs, paintings and other artistic elements. The CO-OP is 2 mins walk, pub across the street and restaurant behind corner. The fabulous Glencoe Valley is 5 mins drive away, making this cottage a great base for exploration. We would have stayed longer, had it had been possible. Would definitely recommend and come back myself.
