If your after a remote location thats in a stunning location, so peaceful, with magnificent views, abundant with wildlife, Invercoe Cottage is the place for you. Just spent a week at the cottage - me, my husband, our lad and 3 of his pals, oh and Harley one of our dogs, fortunately we were blessed with a gorgeous week of weather. We went on many hikes through the Glen, creating our own trails every day, did a spot of wild swimming in the river and waterfalls. The lads took themselves off fishing daily. Your not too far from Oban and the other local places to visit. It was an enjoyable time had by us all, sad to leave it all behind, was good to be out in the clean air with no noice only the birds and sheep! The cottage is well equipped, like a home from home, just make sure you have all you need as the local petrol station is well stocked, but the track to the main road is longer than you think especially as you don't travel more than 20mph down it. Thanks Andrew for an amazing stay, some lovely memories made.

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It is very remote and the road down to it is not good to say the least. We went for a quiet, peaceful holiday and that is what we got. It is a long way from local amenities so anyone who wants to be in the thick of things would not enjoy it or I imagine they would'nt. The scenery and the wildlife you see is something special. For anyone who enjoys walking and enjoys a quiet break away from the hustle and bustle we would thoroughly recommend Invernoe Cottage.

Our 4th stay and as usual totally fabulous. Total peace and quiet and the wildlife is second to none. If your wanting shops and pubs on your doorstep this isn't the place for you, and be warned the road to the cottage isn't for the faint hearted and when it says not suitable for certain vehicles it means it!!. But if your wanting a secluded break in fabulous surroundings this is a great retreat.
