This cottage is an ideal location for exploring the Glencoe area and there is so much to explore here. The area is beautiful. The cottage is located literally on the street but we were not bothered by street noise as the bedroom is to the back. Once you locate the main street of the village the cottage is very easy to find. Our navigation systems wanted to bring us in a back way that seems to no longer exist. Turn of A82 onto B863 and then almost immediately turn right onto The Carnoch. Follow the narrow street about halfway through the village and the cottage is clearly marked on the right.
The cottage was laid out nicely and there was plenty of space for the two of us. While the listing mentions the electricity limits and that you’ll get charged for exceeding the limit, in reality if you go over the limit, the directions book in the house implies YOU, the guest, wil have to go to a location and pay the difference. While it wasn’t problem for us to stay within the limit, we found the described process as not very guest-friendly. Our other concern was the fact that you couldn’t take a hot shower. While we understand the definition of hot is subjective, even with the hot water knob completely turned on, the shower wasn’t “hot”. A couple of shades better than tepid would describe the temperature with the knob on full hot.
We fully understand and support conservation efforts but the overall feeling we got here was that it seemed unwelcoming and a wee bit cold… pun intended.
