    The location was perfect as we were going up Ben Nevis and got a nice early start. We liked the fact also that we could sit outside and it felt very private. We also saw the Harry Potter train.

    Lovely location just 10min drive outside of Fort William. A short walk to Corpach Locks and the Caledonian canal or a 5 min drive to see Neptunes staircase. The hut was amazing. It had everything you needed and the shower was really good. A...

    Beautiful and clean. Loved the snacks. Comfy bed. Handy for the main road so easy to get about but nice and quiet. The steam train runs past the hut but we didn't see it there. Shame about the weather as it would have been lovely to sit outside.

    This is a great little setup for accommodation in a great part of Scotland. It was ideal for my one night stay after leaving the Isle of Skye via the Armadale-Malaig ferry and visiting the Glenfinnan Viaduct. The hut was clean, quaint and Caroline...

New for 2021. A haven of peace and tranquillity in the heart of the Highlands with views of Ben Nevis, the UK's highest mountain, and no better place to watch the Harry Potter Jacobite steam train pass by. The shepherd's hut is cosy and warm with everything you need for a relaxing break including underfloor heating, on-suite with full size shower. Situated in the village of Corpach, a 10 minute walk from a CO-OP and 2 pubs.
The owners live next door and are happy to help with any questions or problems.
Corpach is a quiet village 3 miles outside Fort William. There is a CO-OP and 2 pubs. The western entrance to the Caledonian Canal is 10 mins walk from the hut, where you will find amazing views of Ben Nevis, Nevis Range and Fort William. Nepune's Staircase, the largest flight of locks on the canal, is 1 mile away. Treasures of the Earth is a unique collection of natural gems and crystals which is also in the village. Nevis Range ski centre is 5 miles away for skiing in the winter and a fantastic gondola trip up the mountain in the summer. Glenfinnan is 10 miles away where you will find the iconic viaduct from Harry Potter. There are many other filming locations nearby. Further afield are the famously beautiful beaches of Arisaig and Morar with spectacular white sandy. Fort William is situated at the end of the the 96 mile West Highland Way and the start of the 78 mile Great Glen Way. There is a bus stop 200m away where you can catch a bus to Fort William and a train station 10 minutes walk away where you can get a train to Fort William or Mallaig.
