Druimbhan, 1 Railway Cottage,
Sit by the wood burning stove in this quaint cottage and listen to the crackles of the fire and the flowing of the waterfall and stream outside.. All on the Ground Floor:
Living room: (No TV), Woodburner
Kitchen: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer
Utility Room: Washer Dryer
Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed
Bathroom: Bath With Shower Attachment, Toilet. Solid fuel central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Welcome pack and doggy extras. . Grounds with garden furniture. Private parking for 1 car or small van. No smoking. Please note: There are 4 steps in the grounds, a stream and a waterfall. This property has a natural water supply via spring.. Enjoy one of Scotland’s most scenic routes to get to the cottage, going past the Glenfinnan Viaduct which was used in the Harry Potter Films; you can stand at the front of the house and hear the steam train going past. Once inside the cottage the kitchen is to your right and is a bright area with a panel heater to keep it warm. The bathroom is opposite the kitchen and is pleasantly decorated, the living room is at the end of the hallway and is such a welcoming space, there is a dining table in one corner, a lovely corner suite and ample chairs for you to enjoy and of course, the wood burning stove.
Next to the living room is the utility room with ample space for you to hang up your outdoor gear. There is also a dog bed, dog bowl and towel for your furry friend, and outside there is a hose if you need to wash your dog after a day of walking. The bedroom is the last room in the house, and it has dual aspect windows, one overlooking the burn and the other the waterfall, a perfect way to fall asleep with the natural sound of running water.
The grounds of the cottage are delightful, surrounded by beautiful trees and shrubs, there is a lovely wee walk up past the cottage, where you can sit outside watching the burn flow past, and if there’s been rain the waterfall will be in full flow too!
If you want a totally relaxed stay, Druimbhan is one of those places, the railway is less than 200 yards to the cottage, not like a town or city station, this one will only stop if you advise the guard, and if you wish to go to Mallaig or Fort William by train you will have to book in advance to let them know.
The Local Inn is just a couple of hundred yards walk from the cottage serving local food and drink from Easter to October if you want to stay close to the cottage. There is another pub but that is 9 miles away but you have to travel through some breath taking scenery to get there. Stunning white sandy beaches are to be found along the coastal road to Arisaig on the way to Mallaig. Mallaig is a wonderful, thriving fishing village where you can purchase freshly caught fish, you can also get the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry over to Armadale on the Isle of Skye. If you are driving, a nice route is to go over by ferry, tour around the island and return back to the cottage via the Skye bridge and Eilean Donan Castle. Definitely a place to go and relax, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and a place you will want to return time and time again.

Long weekend stay
Small, but perfectly formed, Druimbhan was the perfect base for our explorations. After long days walking we appreciated the cosy fire. Great communication all along, easy access to property.

Improbable endroit pour construire une maison,
La maison elle même est très jolie mais ses environs immédiats laissent à désirer.
La propriétaire est d’une très grande gentillesse et générosité.
