Corrour Cottages, Fort William, Inverness-shire


Corrour Cottages offer enchanting self-catering accommodation in a secluded and sustainably run Highland Estate near Fort William, located on the edge of the picturesque Rannoch Moor in Inverness-shire. Surrounded by lochs and hills, these three cottages provide an idyllic destination for nature lovers, walking enthusiasts, and families seeking tranquility throughout the year. With a blend of traditional charm and modern comforts, Corrour Cottages offer a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The largest of the three cottages, Corrie Odhar, comfortably accommodates up to 11 adults across five spacious bedrooms. With two super king-size doubles, two twin rooms, and a room with three single beds, this cottage is ideal for larger groups. Three bathrooms and a separate utility room add convenience to the stay. The well-equipped kitchen/diner can accommodate 12-14 guests, and the spacious living room with a wood-burning stove sets the perfect ambiance for cozy winter evenings. Enjoy stunning views of Loch Ossian and Corrour Forest, and explore optional extras like a wood-fired sauna cabin, canoeing, fishing, or clay-pigeon shooting available on-site. Two additional cottages are located within a short walking distance from Corrie Odhar.
