Stalker’s Cottage, set amidst the stunning Killiechonate Estate near Spean Bridge, is the perfect retreat for couples or families seeking adventure and a connection with the outdoors. Once the head stalker’s house on the estate, this traditional one and a half storey cottage has been recently refurbished to a high standard. Conveniently located just 10 miles northeast of Fort William, it serves as an excellent base for exploring the Scottish Highlands, with both the Isle of Skye and Inverness only 1.5 hours drive away.

A short drive from Spean Bridge, Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak beckons experienced walkers and mountaineers with its challenging ascent. For a less strenuous adventure, the gondola ride at the Nevis Range offers spectacular panoramic views and the World Class Mountain Bike Trails are sure to challenge you. Nearby Glen Nevis, a stunning valley, is perfect for a relaxing walk or a more demanding hike to Steall Waterfall, Scotland’s second highest waterfall, with a single drop of 120 metres.
