  • "Great place to stay friendly hosts Will be back"

    Reviewed by Ruth5.0Oct 2024

  • "The property was lovely, clean, comfortable and well equipped."

    Some additional extras eg candles, tissues and spices, condiments in the kitchen were a nice touch. Also a great base for hillwalking. Would definitely stay here again.

  • "We have just returned from a week's stay at Little Tigh Clovelly, and l have to say that, except the dreadful weather, everything was absolutely perfect."

    The cottage is comfortable, exceptionally clean and very well equipped with absolutely everything you might need taken care of. It sits in a beautiful, peaceful location with spectacular views. We were met on arrival at the cottage, and again when we left, Mathew and Edith are lovely hosts and we were made to feel very welcome. We would highly recommend Little Tigh Clovelly if you're thinking about visiting this area. The only thing missing, and its very trivial, was a guests comments book, its always nice to leave a little comment for your host and look at other guests tips for the area. Until the next time!!

  • "We had a fantastic stay at Little Tigh Clovelly."

    The annex was very clean comfortable (very comfy sofa with a great view of a low ridge as the sunsets and lots of wee birds on the feeders, comfy bed and well equipped kitchen too). For us, it was a great base for hill walking, there are more Munros than you could possibly climb on a week long holiday within an hours drive, and plenty much closer too. I'd recommend the Carn Mor Derag followed by the CMD arret (airy scramble) up to Ben Nevis if you are comfortable with scrabbling.

    Self catering wasn't a challenge as the kitchen is very well equipped , the sofa was large and comfy as was the bed. The welcome pack was one of the best we have had . Matthew is helpful and friendly . It really was an ideal base to stay and we hope to come back again .

    I particularly appreciated the well-equipped kitchen which meant that, unlike some other "self-catering" cottages, you really could self-cater. I would love to stay here again and would warmly recommend Little Tigh Clovelly.

  • "This property is very well thought out with many useful extras that you seldom find in other holiday accomodation."

    We like to cook meals rather than eat out. The kitchen is well equipped and spotlessly clean. The owners are very welcoming and go out of their way to ensure that their guests have everything they need. The property has a useful small shed to the rear which we were able to store our e bikes in. The lounge/dining area is comfortable and spacious. Upstairs the large bathroom has a luxury hot shower and fluffy towels. The bed is comfortable and the room has a lovely view over the river and beyond. The cycling and walking opportunities are excellent in the area. The Caledonian Canal is great for both activities, and just down the road. We hardly used the car and, when back at the property, we also enjoyed sitting out on the decking as garden furniture is provided for guests. All in all a very relaxing and peaceful holiday. I would 100% recommend a stay here.. it's lovely and you won't want to leave!

    It was perfect for a couple and there was more space than we imagined, there was also a great welcome pack with a whole variety of foods and teas and coffee waiting for us. The home was lovely and warm at all times and in a nice peaceful location. The owners were very pleasant and helpful when we had any questions, we would certainly consider staying here again when we return to this area.

    Watching the light change on the hill opposite and listening to the birds a bonus. Welcome goodies a really nice add on. No negatives but the addition of a big bowl would be useful.

    As well as being surprisingly spacious, the accommodation is immaculately clean throughout. Furnishings and fittings are all top-notch and appliances and equipment state of the art. Being surrounded by mountains it was no real surprise that television reception was problematic at times but Edith went out of her way to address our issues. We adored the location which is surrounded by delightful walks and stunningly scenic drives. It was also a joy to watch from the comfort of the lounge settee the birds feeding non-stop on the well-stocked feeder across the drive.

  • "This (not so little) gem of a cottage was a perfect base for our holiday."

    It is so comfortable and well equipped. The attention to detail by Edith & Matthew is first class, they’ve thought of everything. The personalised Welcome information was so useful, it made it easy to use the appliances rather than having to seek out instruction manuals. Crockery/cutlery/pans etc weren’t old cast offs that you often seem to find in cottages, but very good quality items. The welcome pack was so well thought out, excellent when you arrive after a long journey. The coffee maker was a real treat for Simon, he was very impressed! The setting of the cottage was perfect to go off exploring all the amazing surrounding areas. This is definitely 5 star accommodation. Thank you for making our holiday so perfect!

We were cycling and walking and there was plenty of space to dry clothes, clean shoes etc. The owners were lovely. They made space for our bikes in their secure garage, made sure we had everything we needed and could get in touch for anything but left us to it otherwise.

    The cottage was ideally located to explore a large area of the Highlands and was situated in a lovely quiet area but with good access to the main roads. The cottage was immaculate and very comfortable with everything we needed. Edith and Mathew made us very welcome and were on hand if there were any problems, which there weren't. There are not a lot of "attractions" to visit in this area so it is really an area to visit for walking and sightseeing the fantastic rivers, waterfalls, lochs and mountains. We were visiting at the time of Covid-19 so of course some attractions were not available but the West Highland Railway from Fort William to Mallaig would have been stunning. To summarise, a beautiful cottage, scenery and holiday.
