When it comes to choosing a base for your adventure in the Scottish Highlands there are many options, but we recommend a Holiday Cottage in Spean Bridge. This small Scottish village is nestled among the mountains with wonderful views of Ben Nevis and the Nevis Range and well connected to public transport with a village train station and regular bus services. It is often referred to as the crossroads of the Scottish Highlands as there is so much to see and do in all directions.
Picture the scene… After a long journey you arrive at your very own little home from home. You park up and head to your very own front door and check out your warm and welcoming Holiday Cottage in Spean Bridge.
You have your own open plan kitchen and living room with fully equipped kitchen, dining table for two and comfy sofa. Out of the large picture window you have a wonderful woodland view which immediately makes your shoulders drop and forget about your lengthy car ride. This is your space, along with a comfy bedroom and a modern shower room. This is your little haven for the next week and you don’t have to share it with anyone!
The joy of choosing a holiday lodge is that you can be fully self-contained and self-sufficient. You are free to make your own daily itinerary without worrying what time breakfast service is or getting back to get changed for dinner. The flexibility of your holiday lodge means you can have breakfast anytime you like, make a picnic to take out with you for the day and then either grab your evening meal out or come home and make a relaxing supper while reliving your day and planning what to do tomorrow.
