Peaceful and Quiet

Unit was clean and well equipped. Walks along the beach and watching the bunnies playing in the fields was great. We would definitely recommend this location.

Onich Cabin

Location was just like the photos. Beautiful views from the back deck. Rooms were clean and cozy. We didn’t realize the bedrooms and bath were upstairs so for those of us with stiff knees we were conscious of our goings up and down. This was one of 4 rentals on this trip and the home was well stocked with kitchen supplies and utensils which was great. Clear that the cabin has been lived in and not just a rental. Host was very helpful and responsive when we thought we were missing an iron. Had a wedding to attend. Undine was willing to deliver the morning of if needed. We found what we needed in a storage closet. Crisis averted. We arrived late in the evening so navigating in the dark with limited signs was a challenge. A helpful neighbor out walking his dog provided assistance. Overall a very pleasant and comfortable stay. Thanks for having us.

Très agréable cottage

La maison est très confortable et fonctionnelle. Tout était très propre et les propriétaires ont été très soucieux du bon déroulement de notre séjour. La vue est magnifique, on ne s’en lasse jamais et la proximité de la mer très agréable. Le logement est bien situé pour découvrir la partie ouest des Highlands. Merci Undine et John.

Why they chose this property

For me this cottage is perfectly situated. It is away from busy roads and has fantastic views across Loch Linnhe and the mountains beyond. It is perfectly situated to discover the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and all the outdoor activities available everywhere around Ardrhu. The cottage is also perfect for just to "get away from it all", to relax, to recuperate, to quieten the mind etc.
We enjoy to stay in the cottage ourselves on occasion and never get enough of the weathers going by.

My husband and I have refurbished this property to a very high standard.
It benefits from central heating and a wood burning stove which provides a wonderful cosiness in the cooler evenings. From the sitting room you have a fantastic view towards Loch Linnhe and the mountains beyond. In summer when the sun is shining onto the decking its the perfect location to have breakfast or dinner outside, or why not take a cup of tea and stroll down to the shore to sit on a rock and relax close to the sea and let the wind and weather ruffle your hair for a while.

The cottage has been fitted with a kitchen incl. washing machine, fridge freezer and dishwasher.

The bathroom has been completely renovated and is stylish and practical.

In general, the cottage is very unique and homely, the decor has been carefully chosen, and it provides a calming and relaxing ambient. It is suitable in all seasons, and it is wonderful sitting on the sofa and watching the "weather" going by.

What makes this property unique

Everyone who visited Ardrhu is blown away by the fantastic setting. There are only few places left which provide you with so much peace, wilderness and beauty.

The cottage for me is a perfect setting for all sorts of activities, whether you like to relax or just go out for adventures. Right between the Nevis and Glencoe mountain range it provides all year activities incl. winter sports. The many lochs and the sea in the area give plenty of opportunity for water sports, including fishing, snorkeling, diving or sailing.

... and can there be a better activity after a long day out to come home to a fire in the wood burning stove?
This cottage is my "getting away" and my "soul searching" and my "recuperation" and the perfect place to explore this beautiful area with its many exciting attractions. It is centrally located for Glencoe and Ben Nevis range if you enjoy hiking or winter sporting!
