great glen chalets

property description: Come and unwind in the mountains, breathe the fresh mountain air and relax in the comfort of a spacious self catering chalet situated amongst woodland on Torlundy Farm. We offer a rural retreat on an organic farm with fly fishing and horse riding in the foothills of Ben Nevis. There are eight self-catering holiday homes individually sited amongst pine trees with superb views of three of the highest mountains in the British Isles. Ideally situated for touring the West Highlands and only 3 miles from Fort William and 1 mile from the mountain bike trails of Nevis Range.

These two-bedroomed chalets sleep 4/5 persons with linen provided and Pets welcome. Attractively furnished and pine panelled throughout these holiday lodges are graded STB 2 star and there is laundry facilities on site.

For a great family holiday come to Great Glen Chalets.

Additionally, we can offer you Lone Pine Lodge
This superb log house with cathedral ceiling and large balcony has some of the best views of snowcapped Ben Nevis. It is a fly fisherman's dream abode with a trout loch 20 yards from your balcony and farm walks up into the hills behind. Experience the peace and tranquility from your elevated site overlooking fields and forest to the mountains.

The 1½ storey timber house has three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and sleeps 7 people. The open plan living room has a cathedral ceiling with large windows and doors leading to your balcony. Comfortable sofas, a gas fire, television and DVD completes the picture.

Upstairs there is a master bedroom with bathroom and a studio balcony overlooking the livingroom which can be used as an extra bedroom if required.

The modern kitchen has a gas cooker, a breakfast bar, fridge/freezer, washing machine & drier, and the cabin has oil central heating throughout.

Ours is a Highland working farm with grazing sheep and cattle, and occasionally a pig or two. The farm is located just north of Fort William, off the A82 at Tomacharich - a small hamlet at the southern most end of the Great Glen.

Our stables and grazing pastures amount to 500 acres of scenic farmland which provides the basic setting for our Great Glen Holiday Chalets and Lone Pine Lodge, which has views to die for.

Our three fishing ponds with their wonderful reflections on a calm morning or evening, add to the overall peaceful ambience of this very special place.
