From the owner

Based on the accumulated success of our sister property 'Acorn Cottage', in 2017, we opened 'Little Oaks' as our new dedicated self catering apartment.

A fully converted basement garden flat, Little Oaks has been specifically architect designed and fitted to offer comprehensive modern facilities for couples or single travellers.

Brand new rooms have been created to capture views on to the north face of Ben Nevis, with windows looking through major oak trees on to the vista beyond.

Bi-fold doors allow versatile use of the spacious kitchen and living area through to the bedroom, affording privacy or relaxed open plan living. A luxurious contemporary bathroom with large shower enclosure completes the layout, along with a walk in dressing room that provides guests with ample storage space.

With all new fixtures and fittings, we pride ourselves on providing the highest standard of accommodation, that allows our guests to relax in home comforts whilst enjoying the unspoilt beauty of the Highlands.

Facilities include dishwasher, hob, oven, microwave, fridge freezer, full central heating, wi-fi, access to washing machine.

Little Oaks is seven miles from Fort William, tucked away in the quiet hamlet of Muirshearlich. It offers the perfect base for exploring Lochaber and the surrounding areas such as Glencoe, Loch Ness, Isle of Skye and the West Coast. Whether you enjoy the white beaches of Morar Sands, sea kayaking around the idyllic seclusion of Arisaig, walking in the Munros, or high adrenaline pursuits of white water rafting in Ballachullish, Fort William - the outdoor capital of the UK has something to offer younger or older guests alike.

Take an unforgettable trip on the Jacobite steam train made famous in the Harry Potter films or take a short ferry crossing to Mull, Iona, Ardnamurchan or Skye. Spot eagles on Loch Shiel or try your hand at whale/dolphin watching near Oban. For more active visitors, the area is an outdoor enthusiasts paradise, with World Cup mountain biking, skiing/snowboarding and high ropes adventure only a short drive away.

Fort William boasts some of the most breath taking scenery in Scotland, with walking, climbing and cycling all year round. Walks are available to suit all abilities, whether it be the achievement of walking the Great Glen Way or summiting Ben Nevis, or strolling along the nearby Caledonian Canal tow path. Lochaber offers opportunities to scale Munros, or leisurely walk the areas many hundreds of miles of forestry and moorland tracks.

Enjoy a drink outside Little Oaks whilst watching the birds, you might even be lucky enough to see red squirrels visiting the feeders or a treecreeper spiralling the trunks of the ancient oaks.

Jays and Woodpeckers are regular visitors to the garden, along with deer in the colder months. If you enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Highlands, Little Oaks will give you the retreat to return to and the haven to relax in.

Little Oaks would not be suitable for guests with limited mobility due to steps from the parking area.

Guests are reminded there are no facilities for charging electric vehicles in the property. Running cables from internal sockets through windows or doors is strictly prohibited.

It was great to meet you both and I’m glad Little Oaks left you with some good memories of the west coast of Scotland. The garden is in full bloom at the moment with plenty of bird life to enjoy it as you witnessed. I’m glad the facilities reached the high standards i aspire too and I hope you are enjoying the next leg of your journey. Happy travels. Thanks again for taking the time to review your stay.
