  • "Taorbeag at Taormina was just what we needed for a perfect break in the Highlands."

    It was spotlessly clean, spacious and was well-equipped for a self-catering break.

    Warm and comfortable and very clean and quiet. Couldn’t fault the property at all. The upside down setup maximises the Ben Nevis views and means a cooler night’s sleep. Have already recommended it to friends.

  • "We had a brilliant stay in this beautiful little house."

    Taorbeag has been really well thought out with the living space upstairs to make the most of the fabulous view of Ben Nevis, we loved sitting in the morning drinking our coffee and watching the sunrise over the mountains. The location is brilliant, with so much to do in the local area that a week wasn't enough time. John and Carol are really friendly and left us some lovely welcome gifts which was really kind. The shower is a particular highlight, and the beds and sofa are comfy. The house is really well equipped with everything you could need! The only slight issue is the wifi isn't particularly fast but it was enough, and there is mobile internet signal in the area so not a big problem. We had a fantastic stay and were very sad to leave!

The property

BANAVIE - FORT WILLIAM 3 miles.

Taorbeag at Taormina is a well-equipped, reverse-level holiday home resting in Banavie, Fort William, Scottish Highlands.

The cottage is ideal for a family or group of friends looking for a relaxed break or a fun-filled trip, boasting views of Ben Nevis and plenty of delightful walks in the immediate area.

On arrival at the property, off-road parking makes unloading your car simple, and a spacious entrance hall greets you, with a handy washing machine and tumble dryer for your convenience.

On the first floor lies the social hub of the home, complete with a kitchen, dining area and sitting area.

Take advantage of the facilities and concoct a delicious meal the whole family can enjoy in the kitchen area, before dining with your loved ones at the dining table for four.

The skylight allows plenty of light into the space, while the sitting area creates a comforting space to unwind while watching a film on the Smart TV after a day of adventures.

Back on the ground floor, catch some rest in one of two bedrooms, a double or a twin, and then freshen up in the shower room ahead of another day of exploring.

The property is conveniently located amongst tremendous views, making it a haven for walkers; just a short walk away is Neptune's Staircase, built by Thomas Telford and the longest staircase lock along the Caledonian Canal and in Britain.

History enthusiasts can make their way to Treasures of the Earth, a museum with gemstones, crystals and fossils sure to entertain the keenest of amateur archaeologists, or head towards the 13th-century ruins of Old Inverlochy Castle.

If you need a break from cooking, the Moorings Hotel and Bistro offers a lovely meal, with great views of Neptunes Staircase and a backdrop of Ben Nevis, but for a real special treat for your nearest and dearest visit and take in the splendour of Inverlochy Castle Hotel, where you can also discover the picture-perfect gardens.

Cyclists will not be left short for routes on this trip; be sure to make your way outside of the village by bike or on foot to experience magnificent views of Ben Nevis and an array of stunning terrains at Aonach Mor, Nevis Range.

Further afield are the peaks and glens of the picturesque area of Glen Coe, a wonderful day out, no matter your interests, where you can eat, drink, walk, cycle, sea kayak and even ski!

Make memories that will last a lifetime with a holiday at Taorbeag at Taormina.
