Summary: The Shepherds Rest was our favorite stay during our 2 week vacation to Ireland and Scotland. Very spacious, clean and welcoming. Especially loved our greeting of the black labs, so cute!! It was an adventure getting to the place, but our family loves adventures and it was well worth it. Would definitely stay again.

Summary: This was such a lovely and peaceful place to stay while in the Glencoe area. It’s a cool location. Quiet. Nicely equipped house. Lots of light. Ben Nevis is visible from the back porch! For any dog-lovers, you will be greeted by up to three of the sweetest black labs you’ve ever seen.I would love the chance to relive this vacation again… at this wonderful home away from home.

Summary: It was a really great spot for two families vacationing together. Nice common room size and a good bedroom setup. We even got a visit from the owner’s lovely labs! The only thing to be aware of is the tunnel coming into the property. It’s mentioned so it wasn’t a secret but it was a little nerve wracking since we were in a van. So just something to be aware of with car selection.

Elaine D. May 23, 2025 12:11:46 AM
Summary: We had a very short but lovely stay at the Shepherd’s Rest. Ilona and Gavin were accessible and very friendly and helpful, we especially loved the dogs who came to visit. The cottage was clean and comfortable and on a peaceful country setting. It’s a little tricky getting in and out having to go through the tunnel but it just added to the adventure!
Brian B. May 15, 2025 06:13:56 PM
Summary: It was a great surprise to my partner and Ilona was great. Brilliant suggestions on where to go and friendly as can be. We will definitely be coming back to the Highlands and staying again soon. Thank you so much Ilona!!! - B and D
Manali P. May 4, 2025 05:43:20 AM
Summary: Ilona’s cottage provided a cozy and comfortable base for our family of 6 for the 3 days we spent in the area. A beautiful property, the cottage is spacious, tidy and very well laid out - on clear days, we even had a view of the top of Ben Nevis! The short tunnel was exciting for the kids and grown-ups in our group. Ilona was wonderful and so easy to coordinate with. Overall, a charming stay that we will remember fondly.

Summary: This was the perfect place for my mother who needs minimal stairs and an accessible bathroom. It's in a beautiful area and we loved it.
