Sea Otter Cottage stands 2.5 miles down the road to Oban from Ballachulish. To say the Loch-side (Linnhe) location is idyllic would be a contender for understatement of the year! Green hillside at the back of you and a Loch comparable to a Norwegian Fjord out front; with mountains to view across the other side and genuine dark skies at night, it is beautiful. Glencoe, Fort William, Kinlochleven and all they have to offer are all within easy reach. The cottage itself has been very well thought out, we found ourselves wanting for nothing. The kitchen in particular impressed; you can tell that the owner is someone who can turn their hand to cooking and has considered guests who might like to do the same. The log burner in the lounge is super efficient too. I never give 10 out of 10 for anything, so it has to be the same with 5 out of 5; in everything I do myself I think there is always room for improvement, so I apply the same rules to all things, but the tweaks required for me to give a 100% score to Sea Otter Cottage would be very minor things. I’m not going to say anything about them on here because there is nothing that should detract from the quality of anyone else’s stay. This place truly felt like home from home, and quite honestly, I wish it was! I would not hesitate to book it again. Get out and walk, use the cycle path across the road, sit on the rocks beside the Loch to watch the sunset, explore your surroundings, and you’ll be sure to have a great time there.
