1 / 21Shepherds Cottage - Loch Linnhe
Ardgour, Highlands
A whitewashed cottage for six at Ardgour across the Corran Ferry from the Fort William road, with a wood burner, an enclosed garden and two dogs welcome.
Getting to Shepherds Cottage involves the Corran Ferry, a five minute crossing of Loch Linnhe that works like a valve: the traffic stays on the Fort William side, and Ardgour keeps its peace. The cottage is a whitewashed three bedroom home for six on the quiet shore, dog friendly with two dogs welcome and an enclosed garden set in a big lawn.
Inside runs open plan, a contemporary kitchen with a breakfast bar, dining in one corner and two deep sofas around the wood burner. A double with en suite shower, a second double and a twin share the family bathroom, and the utility handles the aftermath of a loch shore that dogs find irresistible at every state of the tide.
The west side of Loch Linnhe is the connoisseur's answer to Lochaber: the same mountains, a fraction of the people. Shoreline walks start at the gate, seals and red deer are the usual company, and the dogs get a holiday where the wildest thing they meet most days is a heron.
Fort William, Ben Nevis and the Jacobite steam train sit 15 miles and a ferry ride away, Glencoe's walks line the far shore, and the empty single track roads of Ardgour, Moidart and Ardnamurchan unroll west for the explorers. Two dogs, one ferry, no queues.
