About Eildan

NB:THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN IN MAY 2023 THE LANDSCAPING HAD JUST BEEN COMPLETED AND GRASS SOWN. MORE IMAGES TO FOLLOW.

Sitting in a glorious position elevated above the Caledonian Canal at Gairlochy is this contemporary, single-storey holiday home, Eildan. With a spacious design, breathtaking views and charming tartan finishings paying homage to the idyllic Scottish landscape, this home makes the ultimate escape for friends, families and avid walkers.

Inside, the bright and airy sitting room hosts plush seating and a Smart TV, the perfect space for cosying up after a long day of walking through this picturesque area. From here, the fully-equipped kitchen/diner welcomes you to cook up a storm, from the induction hob and dishwasher to the wine cooler and coffee maker, the space has everything for your self-catering needs.

Enjoy your delicious meals at the dining table for eight, or venture outside onto the decking with furniture for dinner with a view. As you grow tired, retire to one of four beautifully-presented bedrooms; the master super-king-size also has its own shower room and access to the patio, followed by a king-size with an en-suite, and completing the bedrooms are two twins.

Completing the interior is a sleek family bathroom, where you can savour a long soak after a ramble. When you’re not indulging in your surroundings and gazing upon your Ben Nevis and Aonach Mhor scenery, you can head out to find a wealth of natural beauty on foot, or in the car.

Perfectly positioned close to the Great Glen way and Caledonian Canal, there are ample walking opportunities from the doorstep. Thrillseekers may want to try the local mountain biking or hit some altitude with a day or two of skiing.

Within easy reach is the delightful town of Fort William for a variety of restaurants and pubs, along with a cinema, shops and distillery so you won’t be left short of activities. Slightly further afield, you can find easy access to the west coast and spend a day at Mallaig and Arisaig or take a trip on the Jacobite Steam Train.

Eildan Reviews

Great spot for exploring Ben Nevis et al.
Caroline
This property was amazing. Such a beautiful place, peaceful, relaxing, great facilities, hot tub was amazing and in a great location to explore. Fantastic location for walking Ben Nevis. The property was well kept, the owners had thought of everything and responded to any queries questions. Such a fantastic place to spend a week away in rain or sunshine. I would totally recommend staying here.
Claire
What a fantastic place to stay we did not want to leave it was ideal for my elderly mum and disabled child. Its definitely on our list of places to go back to.
The listing is not accurate there is not a pub 0. 6 miles from the property nearest one is 4.5 miles away on a busy road that isnt walkable. We would not have chosen this property had we known, which would have been a shame as it is wonderful and we had a great week, Ben Nevis Visitors Centre is 10 miles away not 2. Nearest shop about 4 miles. Its about a 30 minute drive to the centre of Fort William The property is wonderful with fabulous views, very well equipped, clean, warm and comfortable, we had a wonderful week and would highly recommend, this stunning property. A couple of points for the owner the hot tub could be warmer, and BBQ which we only used once had seen better days.
The property is clean and comfortable with most stunning views. A great find and we all had a lovely time there despite the weather! This can be published against the property This following info is for the owner .. We were three couples who all loved the house and thought it was comfortable and new with good accessories and equipment. Stunning views The outside needs to be slightly more finished around the house but all in all fabulous. Couple of things to point out if you want feedback. The towel rail in the bedroom at the back does not work The gutters are overflowing so they need attention before they damage the property. We had so much rain that we watched this a lot! Would be nice if there were mirrors in the two single bedded rooms If there had been eight of us the seating in the lounge is a little tight but luckily we were only six! I know there are two other chairs in the kitchen but they arent that comfy. We would have enjoyed the hot tub more despite the weather had it been a few degrees hotter but lovely surprise to have it there. Not sure it was mentioned in the details. Please dont take this as criticism as we were more than happy and satisfied but just thought these few things would be a nice addition. Scotland is amazing and we had a great time. Thank you
We had the most amazing holiday and absolutely loved the property. I would thoroughly recommend this accommodation, and look forward to staying here next year when we visit the area for the Scottish Six Days Trial.
It was a stunning and beautifully furnished property, the views of Nevis range were amazing from both the inside and outside on the deck. Quality fixtures, soft furnishings and everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday. Owner available if required and very helpful. Absolutely no complaints just a little feedback would be for a socket near the mirror & a seat for hair drying and also maybe door hooks and more shelving in the bathrooms would not hesitate to return or recommend!
Jonathan
Eildan is a new, spacious, wellappointed holiday home. We had a great stay here it is nicely situated with beautiful views of the surrounding area with plenty of privacy whilst only being 1520 mins to Fort William. The house was clean with all of the facilities that we required. There is plenty of outdoor space and once the garden and outdoor areas have become more established bearing in mind we stayed when it was essentially newly built it will be even nicer.
Louise
A beautiful holiday home with amazing views. Eildan is perfect for a base to explore the highlands. Its very comfortable, immaculately clean and well equipped with all you need. Hot tub was a lovely bonus , but do take care getting in and out as the steps are not fixed to the ground.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will highly recommend it to family and friends.
Coleman
Our family of four rented this lovely, completely new property about 4 miles north of Fort Williams. The home was in a rural, extremely quiet location and took full advantage of beautiful views over the Highlands from the large deck and windows. The Caledonia canal and Loch Lochy are walking distance, and many other trails including Ben Nevis and walks from Spean Bridge are a 1015 minute car ride away. The house was very well supplied for selfcatering and would have been comfortable with a larger group. We appreciated the washer and dryer and the dishwasher. You will need a car at this property as it is a drive for services, but if you are looking for peace and quiet in a tranquil Highlands setting, you will find it here.
Pallavi
We had a fabulous stay! The house was comfortable and the views beautiful!!! We had a bit of trouble with hot water on the first day, but the property owners were super helpful and promptly got the issue sorted!
