2 Bedroom Cottage in Salen, Fort WIlliam

Liddesdale, Keeper's Cottage is set in stunning west highland scenery on the Morvern side of Loch Sunart facing a mountain called Beinn Resipol. We rent it to friends, family and new guests too. Our season is from March to November, minimum seven nights and always starting on a Saturday. What it offers is unique: a place where time has stopped.
Our cottage is a not for profit family home. It's not like a lot of rentals managed by estates or run as businesses.
There is an outside chance you may discover a mouse whilst you stay there, and there will almost certainly be a spider somewhere, the water comes from the mountain and as such is prone to disruption at times, but despite all of this it has bags of charm and is adored by many regular guests.
We have a lovely cleaner who keeps it spick and span and a plumber who can usually come and help within 24-48hrs, however a lot of guests get the water back up and running themselves, its an easy and satisfying job to complete oneself.
As a result those who love it, absolutely cherish it, but we do occasionally get guests who are looking for a city-like level of functionality.
I do feel it's always worth letting first time guests know this up front to help manage expectations. But it is truly the best place in the world in my, and many people's opinion, and I hope you will discover this too :)
Sleeping arrangements are flexible. There are 5 single beds and 1 standard double. The cottage is cosy, comfortable and well kept. There’s electricity, a bath and separate loo, but little has changed inside and out since the mid-18th century. The peaty water comes from straight from the burn, we love it, but we advise guests to drink bottled water. There’s heat from the kitchen Everhot and a wood burner in the sitting room, plus plug in electric heaters, but there’s no central heating. The cottage does not have a television, but there is wifi. Dogs and pets are welcome, but not permitted on soft furnishings or upstairs. We ask guests to bring their own bed linen, ie sheets, pillow cases, duvet covers and bathroom towels. However if this is absolutely not possible, then a laundry service can be supplied with good notice and an additional fee.
It is a good idea to bring staple foods and provisions although there are two good general stores in Strontian which is about five miles away - useful for topping up. Petrol and diesel are also available in Strontian. We do not have any fast charging facilities for electric vehicles.

Summary: We stayed in the cottage 24 years ago and loved it. It has not changed much. This is the charm of the place. The cottage is situated in a quiet setting on Loch Sunart and after exploring all day was a nice place to relax and unwind. Our host Charlie was great. We had a water issue and it was handled straight away. I hope to return soon. A week was to short.

Summary: Remote cottage on loch shore, surrounded by beautiful tranquil , scenic countryside. Lovely views, own beach. Fantastic cosy lounge, with wood burner. Sit in the window and look out for wildlife , including sea otters and seals. We loved the property and this part of Scotland is so quiet and unspoilt. We definitely recommend it.

Summary: I am not using the word ‘magical’ idly. Keeper’s Cottage is a dream of a one off - beautifully secluded and private and seeming almost to have a loch to itself. The cottage has a sympathetically artistic feel, a little scuffed at the edges maybe but comfortable, appealing and practically and handsomely equipped. We all loved it and felt a real wrench leaving. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Summary: Wanted an off the grid, away from it all week and this place ticked all our boxes. A step back in time, an abundance of walks, wildlife, magnificent scenery, excellent fishing, topped with absolute peace and tranquility. Local hospitality, especially at the Stontian Hotel was superb. Seafood Paella a treat. The Emerson family have an amazing bolt hole of which we are very envious. We will be back but I suspect we will have other family members in tow.

Summary: Overall we had a fantastic stay at keepers cottage!! If you are looking for a real authentic place to stay this is it... Comfortable, all the things you need especially in the kitchen... you step back time.... lots of quirky artefacts... especially the clock which we discovered was made by one of the family- I dubbed it “ when the Cheshire Cat meets Captain Hook “ Really tranquil setting but be prepared for rain ☔️
