Welcome to Ben Vheir

A quiet Highland base near Glencoe

Ben Vheir sits on the waterfront at Ballachulish, with views across Loch Linnhe to the surrounding mountains. Choose the spacious apartment within the main house or the restored former gardener’s cottage.

Both properties are designed for two adults and provide a comfortable base for walking, cycling, sailing, golf and exploring Glencoe and the wider West Highlands.

The Apartment

Spacious, self-contained and filled with character

The apartment has been finished to a high standard while retaining the character of the original stone building. Its open-plan kitchen and living area looks towards the loch and mountains, with generous seating and a wood-burning stove for relaxed evenings.

A comfortable king-size bed, luxury shower room and fully equipped kitchen make it an easy place to settle into for a Highland break.

After a day outdoors, light the wood-burning stove or unwind under the stars in the wood-fired hot tub overlooking the loch.
