WELCOMEWelcome to our website we hope that you find everything on here that you would like to know. If further information is required please either give us a call or send us an email and we will be happy to help. Fern Villa is a family run Guest House offering Bed and Breakfast accommodation in the village of Ballachulish, just over a mile from the spectacular Pass of Glencoe and fifteen miles south of Fort William. Fern Villa is your ideal base for exploring the Scottish Highlands. The area offers something for everyone, whatever the weather. Take a look at our Attractions and Events page for ideas on how to spend your days. Step out from the house and enjoy a day of walking or hop in the car and point it down a quiet road and see what wildlife you can spot. We are outdoor enthusiast friendly as we have a kit drying room and offer an early full cooked breakfast if required.
ACCOMMODATIONBEDROOMSWe have five en-suite bedrooms, comprising three double and two twin. All rooms have complimentary hot drink making facilities, with Fairtrade tea coffee and hot chocolate, a hairdryer, radio/alarm and colour television. 
We have a comfy Z Bed that fits into either a double or twin room if you would like your child in the room with you, or for adults who enjoy each others company. One double bedroom is on the ground floor and one upstairs twin bedroom has a bath. 
BREAKFAST ROOM The Breakfast Room overlooks the front garden, Ballachulish Shinty Park and to the mountains beyond. Your breakfast, using Scottish produce where available, is served between 7.30am and 8.30am. An early full cooked breakfast is available if you wish to make the most of the day and set off early. LOUNGE There is a separate Lounge to relax in during the evening with a range of reading material including local information, maps and walks. The view of the sunsets from this room is lovely, casting a glow over Ballachulish and west over the Ardnamurchan. PARKINGWe have a carpark opposite the house in a walled area. Please leave the one space nearest to Quarry Cottages free as this is for cottage 1. Additional parking is available at the side of the house.INTERESTING FACTSOur area is home to Scotland's highest mountain, deepest loch, longest glen, deepest pothole and the U.Ks most westerly mainland point. Also you can take a boat trip to see the third largest whirlpool in the world. FERN VILLA DIARY24 Jun 2009 After about 6 glorious weeks of sunshine the cloud came down again and we thought that summer might be over. But no the sunshine is back and we are enjoying long sunny days again. The rhododendrons are past their best and we still didn't get to go down Glen Etive to see them in all their glory. The barn swallows are nesting at the front of the house, not seen their young yet, but the sparrows are lurking and looking ready to evict them. We last heard the cuckoo about 3 days ago, we won't complain about their early morning wake up calls any more as we are told they are in a sharp decline. We have enjoyed watching the primary school's sports day today on the shinty park today and are now being entertained with a game of footie. There is a bit of a breeze so there are no midgies - perfect!Posted by: Fern Villa on 24/06/2009 20:00:24
19 Apr 2009 We have been enjoying the glorious weather and this morning I heard the cuckoo for the first time this year. We had a trip down to Cuil Bay and along with the oyster catchers there was a small flock of eider ducks. The males are marked beautifully and they have a comical surprised call.Posted by: Fern Villa on 19/04/2009 19:20:44
06 Mar 2009 We have had a couple of good days of snow and although it hasn't stayed at ground level for very long it has certainly improved the ski slopes.Posted by: Fern Villa on 06/03/2009 15:10:48
