    The location was perfect, a pub nearby that serves decent food (game pie recommend) the property is fantastic I could happily have lived in it for the rest of my days. All ammenities present. Owners were great and communicate thoroughly to make sure everything runs smooth. I will 100% look to book again when next visiting Glencoe.

    - Nothing at all, but note that the walk to Glencoe centre is legitimately 30 minutes. I stupidly brought a rolling luggage and taxis are not readily available, so plan accordingly!

    - Absolutely breathtaking view for the private cabin - The cabin was extremely clean - Had everything needed to cook, utensils, even wine openers - Great Wi-Fi - Hot water and good shower pressure - Heating is on a schedule, but it is adjustable. There are also heated floors!

    Nothing, everything was to my liking. The only minor thing, perhaps, was that there could have been some more essentials in the kitchen, like salt, pepper, oil. But that's really just a minor thing and should not make any difference in the decision-making.

    Absolutely satisfied. Although it is a bit pricy for a student, it was definetely worth it. Great value for money ration. Glencoe is lovely and the Heart of Glencoe Holidays is in the perfect spot, between the village and the southern valleys. I enjoyed every minute there and would like to stay there in the future.

    To be honest the fact we only had 2 nights there was the only bad part, we loved it. The cabins are dog friendly so, please bear that in mind, there is a very slight dog smell at first, not dirty by any means just as if you were in a dog owners house. However we're dog people ourselves so this was no issue.

    If you're looking for a cosy cabin getaway with nothing around but stunning views, peace and tranquility then you won't find better. For me personally, stepping out onto the deck in fresh winter air with my morning coffee, to the sounds of the nearby stream, birds chirping the neighbouring horses giving a morning hello all in the foreground of THAT view was like something out of a dream. Absolute breathtaking scenery. Our host, Davina, clearly seen we were bit lost on site at first as we had arrived quite late and it was dark so came down to make sure we were ok and found the correct cabin. Lovely warm smile and a welcome. Upon our departure we met Keith, Davinas husband, very warm and friendly chap. Couldn't have been nicer. If you stay here you are in very good hands.

    Ha is having to leave today a "What didn't you like?"

    Everything! A lovely phone call/message before my arrival. Perfect tranquility. An exceptionally well equipped kitchen and maticulously clean bathrooms. Keith and Davina 100% have paid such great attention to detail in every area. Immaculate beds. Charge points, invidivual lights, curtains for privacy and wee cubby for beside the bed. I cannot not mention the GLORIOUS kitchen table. Such a well maintained site. 10/10 almost doesn't seem enough. Look forward to coming back with my 5 year daughter next season. Many Thanks to you both for everything.

    One tiny thing we didn't really like, was that the showers only had 1 temperature: lava. Got used to it after a while though.

    We were staying in the Alpine bunkhouse, and it was one of our best stays of the trip! The communal area is cozy and welcoming and the kitchen has everything you need. The room and beds were very comfy as well. Every part of the building was spotless. Wifi worked like a charm. The walk to the hostel from the nearest bus stop takes about 30 minutes, but is quite pleasant because of the cute village of Glencoe and the beautiful scenery on the way. The location is also ideal for hiking, with many beautiful trails nearby.

    I came for some peaceful time here and i got it. The location has a perfect distance away from the crowdy main road. I didn't have a car and i didn't mind about it. It takes at least 30 minutes from Glencoe Village bus station to walk through beautiful forest path next to the road to reach the Hostel. it is wonderful location to hike and reach the top of Pap of Glencoe. You can discover from there so many different paths and you can get to Three Sisters by foot. Independent Hostel is such a cute, clean place. Kitchen has everything that you need for preparing meal and is such a good space to meet and chat with other people. You have a big fridge so you can store your food there. The bunk beds are big enough so you can sit if you are in the bed down below.

    I have nothing negative to say about my stay apart from I tried to book direct prior and rang the property and was told they would ring me back as the website told me to ring to book. No one ever rang me back and I booked via booking.com because I wanted to ensure I could stay here.

    Beautiful cabin which was so well equipped. Can not fault it really. I loved it.
