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.

Absolutely stunning views, beautiful house in a private location, we even had our own little beach. Loved our long weekend away and the host’s respond immediately to a request we had. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again in future. Thanks

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 wonderful stay at this beautiful home. The house was spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped – we especially loved the generous kitchen and light-filled rooms. The garden was a real highlight – peaceful, beautifully maintained, and perfect for relaxing after a day out exploring. The location was ideal for day trips – we easily visited Oban, Appin, Glencoe, and Fort William, all stunning parts of Scotland. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay, which made everything smooth and stress-free. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely return. A fantastic Airbnb in a fantastic spot – highly recommended!

Hi Anna , we have had a great time at your hide away cosy cottage whilst also going out and exploring what the area near and afar has to offer. We travelled from near Oban for our first week when we went to the Isle of Mull and then this week we did make time to visit the Isle of Skye which was spectacular. We live in mid Wales so use to the unpredictable weather but on the whole it’s been good to us . Great place to base ourselves from . The wildlife in the garden have been great to see as well and the dogs have loved it . Thank you .

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!

Fiona is a super hote, she is super kind and reactive, her dogs are super cute, she gave us a lot of informations about the area. The cottage is super cozy. Thanks again for letting us stay !

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!

This is an amazing place to stay. The house is perfect for 6 people. The kitchen is very well equipped. Milk, fruit coffee and tea were thoughtful. The beds were very comfortable and the linen and towels high quality. The toiletries were a luxurious treat. The area is beautiful , fantastic views and walks. There is a field in front and then a beach. An amazing fish restaurant, shop and hotel close by. There is also the passenger ferry to Lismore from which there are even more spectacular views.

We had a great experience staying with Chris and Susan, and would highly recommend this to anyone in the area - head and shoulders above hotels at a similar price point. We stayed for 3 nights, looking for a base between Fort William and Glencoe for hiking. The cottage is very well located for what we had planned and was a welcome break from the string of damp and dingy hotels that we had stayed in beforehand. The place is very well equipped, with a smart TV in case the weather takes a turn and everything you could need for home cooking and lunch prep (which was a huge bonus for our hikes). If you are lucky with the weather, there’s even space to eat outside and enjoy the incredible views. The cottage was clean and well maintained and although we didn’t have any issues, Chris and Susan clearly care about ensuring everything meets their standards. If we ever come back to the Highlands, we will look to stay again!

We had a brilliant week at the cottage. It had everything we needed and the island was the perfect getaway from noise and bustle. Tranquil and ideal stress buster. The pub is also a gem.

Being a long time traveler I can honestly say that Alex’ place is THE most beautiful house I have ever been. We were looking forward to “coming home” after each day trip. Alex has been more than a host. It felt like having a friend on Skye. We will definitely be back - we loved it ◡̈

Ideal location for hiking and cycling, we had a great time exploring the hills around Glenfinnan. The accommodation had everything we needed - Ingrid was a great host! Hotel just down the road serves good food but Fort William was an easy drive if we needed bigger shops. Would definitely recommend staying!

We thought the cottage was absolutely charming, comfortable and attractively furnished and the views were stunning. Carbost is a lovely village and the people in the shop and the Post Office were really friendly and helpful. We did have a bit of trouble with the lock on the front door but some WD40 would probably fix that and it certainly did not spoil our overall enjoyment. Would definitely Red Mountain Cottage

The Garden Cottage was perfect for the last leg of our Scotland visit! it was clean, cozy, comfortable & well outfitted! We loved exploring and then coming back to cook in the well outfitted kitchen. The coffee and tea selections were great and an added treat. The chairs overlooking the garden were very much appreciated. The gardens were brilliant! Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven!

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!

Married on 25th May at Gretna Green, we arrived at Gometra’s North Pier on the 26th via my uncle’s fishing boat, welcomed ashore by young Rhoda. Genevieve and I cherished our solitude here, reminiscing about my childhood holidays at Gometra in the '70s. The gallery honesty shop next to Jane Anne’s was a delight—we sent postcards out from there! I climbed Fairy Hill, laying seaweed in memory of Jane Anne and the Mermaid. A magical start to our life together!"

When we arrived at Juliet’s cottage we instantly knew we were in for a treat. With lambs and bunnies literally outside the front door - we felt fully immersed in nature. The cottage has been beautifully decorated with extra special touches including the local artwork and textiles. We absolutely loved our stay, and feel incredibly grateful that we were lucky enough to experience Skirnish Cottage whilst on a trip visiting Scotland (where my family is originally from) with our 1 year old before our next baby arrives!

Lovely home with bunnies in the yard daily! Beautiful location. Friendly and helpful neighbors. Definitely recommended.
