    It should be advertised as a B&B, and not a hotel. The outer cabins are perfect accommodations for a couple.

    Great quite location.

    A gorgeous building with stunning views across the loch, and mountains as far as the eye can see. Amazing hosts to help with local recommendations for food and sight seeing. The local town is just a short walk away with nice cafes and a decent size supermarket. Room was exquisite with the most comfortable bed and the bathtub was like something from a dream! The nicest place we’ve stayed in the highlands by far.

    What’s not to love here!

    We can’t say enough good things about St. John’s rectory/Aos Si cottages! Definitely recommend for a couples are gonna stay in “The Glen”. We stayed in the main house upstairs with an unbelievable view of the lake. The room did not have a TV or fridge, but we knew that going in. Downstairs there is a dining room with piano, books and games. Across the hall is a living room/sitting room with a fireplace they will start for you. Janice could not be more welcoming or helpful during our stay. Highly recommend! Note for Navigation: Search “AOS Si cottages” not “St John’s Rectory” in Google Maps/Waze

    we stayed 2 nights in the old rectory in Glencoe. the accommodation is located directly on the main road with a beautiful view over the water and is also quite easy to find. use Aos si Losges in your navigation as an address for the location. we were received very hospitably with an explanation of the facilities. breakfast is possible but we had not chosen to do that. There are enough restaurants within a radius of 5 minutes and a supermarket with a wide range if you want to be flexible with the food. The room was as expected. a large room with a beautiful old bed that slept wonderfully, and a very clean and nice bathroom. afterwards we found a two days stay for Glencoe and the Rectory too short. we would have liked to stay longer. we definitely recommend this location to stay in glencoe

    We knew there wasn’t breakfast provided if we booked through Booking.com so can’t comment on that. It’s a tub with a handheld shower spray which we knew and it worked fine. This doesn’t have all of the luxuries of other hotels but it’s the quirky, quaint and historic aspect of this that’s the appeal. I wish more history of the place had been provided.

    The historic aspect and location. The bed frame was amazing. The bath was lovely and the heated floor was so nice. It was quiet and easy to come and go. The towels were thick and large. The windows open so it was easy to cool the room and also easy to heat the room with the radiator. They had hangers and a rod to hang clothes as well as places to store shoes. Water, tea and coffee (not instant) were provided. A kettle and French press were provided too along with some tasty cookies. The location is perfect for hiking around the Three Sisters and going to the Visitors Center. It’s not a far drive from Ft William and Ben Nevis either. There’s a Coop down the road for getting snacks. The view of our loch from our window was breathtaking.

    We did not have breakfast but they offered. The place was hard to find but eventually we re-read their message and found it easily. We arrived after dark so we couldn't really appreciate the grounds yet they were lovely in the morning. Coffee and tea in the room was great - many places provide instant coffee but they had brewed coffee in a French Press = very nice!

    The staff was so kind, attentive, and welcoming. I got in a bit late and they were understanding and even offered to do free laundry for me because I had just completed a race and had lots of muddy clothing. They even started drawing a bath for me! I can emphasize enough how kind they were! The rooms were clean and had several amenities like tea, robes, and beauty products. Perfect place to rest with a beautiful building in a beautiful place

    Tough to say what could have been better. I don’t typically take baths, so I suppose a shower would have been nice to use. That being said, my bath was enjoyable!

    We really enjoyed the room quality. It was very spacious and comfortable. The building is located next to a trail system for endless miles of hiking adventure.

    Loved Janice’s place, we were comfortable and Janice was very helpful with local suggestions for places to eat. Room was a delight, the tartan carpet and overlooking the sea, beautiful. Bathroom was quirky with a bath and a shower head, so not your usual shower over the bath. Great location for everything we wanted to do in the area and a short walk to a delightful restaurant, we recommend it.

    It would be nice to have a little fridge in the room, but we didn't inherently dislike anything!

    We loved the area and the atmosphere stepping out into the most gorgeous scenery every morning. Everyone there was friendly, and our little dog was welcome to stay too.

    We slept in the new pods and they were awesome. Perfect place for a couple. We enjoyed the spacious jacuzzi and the fact that the kitchen was well furnished. The bed was very comfortable and it was nice to fall asleep with the sound of the brook in the background. The hist was really nice. I highly recommend

    Facts 1- Booking address takes you to a junkyard Look for owner s notification. 2- I booked 2 rooms. One had the bathroom outside in the public area. 3- Breakfast is at the leasure of the owner Don’t expect any hot or cold before 0830AM. 4-Total rate of 560 euros for all the above. Not need to say terrible value for money.

    Hard to say.
