Customer Reviews of The Old Post Office, nr Glencoe - Sleeps 5
1st comment: The house was very clean, well fitted out and very comfortable. We had a lovely holiday here, the location is between Oban and Fort William which gave us lots of things to do. Loch Linhe is a beautiful lake and the view from the house was a joy every day. Some of our best nights sleep! April 2012.
2nd comment: We had a lovely holiday. Great holiday house in a great location. We hope to come back! Oct 2011.
3rd comment: Great access to everything, lovely location by Loch, very clean, warm and comfortable, a lovely home. March 2011.
4th comment: The property was very clean and well maintained. There was a lot of cooking equipment and all appliances worked well. There was plenty of space and the children enjoyed the garden. The view was spectacular! Aug 2010.
5th comment: It was scrupulously clean, very well appointed and ideally located for our needs. April 2010.
6th comment: There was plenty of space and very comfortable - it was very nice to have a decent size double bed in the bedroom and also a separate w.c which is great when you have a family. July 2009.
7th comment: Excellent cottage with a lovely view. Very well furnished and kitted out. Would recommend in a flash. April 2009.
8th comment: A lovely welcoming touch of shortbread and flowers and we felt at home straight away. Aug 2007.
9th comment: We had stayed in the area previously at other holiday cottages, but this location and accommodation was by far the best. The scenery was fantastic, overlooking the loch, and with snow capped mountains on the opposite side. It was an excellent base for touring the area. It was our 3 year old daughter’s and 14 month old son’s first ’proper’ holiday and they loved it, especially the resident, very tame rabbit, Charlie. The clean fresh air knocked them out a treat at night which meant mummy and daddy could quite happily leave granny to babysit while they used the facilities at the wonderful seafood restaurant just across the road. We will definitely be booking The Old Post Office again. March 2008.
