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.

However I can give you a quick update now. The siskins have all but disappeared and we are now inundated with chaffinches, a few sparrows, a great tit and a robin. We bought a new bird table to sit outside the window of the downstairs bedroom and the birds are beginning to get used to it and are checking out the food. A leopard slug had discovered the box of bird seed so I had to ask David to relocate it before I could top up the feeders. We have to watch where we are putting are feet when we go over to the cottage to bed as there are quite a few frogs underfoot. The rowan trees now have their berries so we have a flash of red throughout the garden. It would seem that Autumn is on it's way.Posted by: Fern Villa on 11/08/2008 17:38:25
15 Jun 2008 Oh no! The baby starlings have arrived so instead of filling the feeders every other day it now looks like this is going to be a daily chore.Posted by: Fern Villa on 15/06/2008 15:17:56
26 May 2008 We had a lovely walk yesterday afternoon around Glencoe Lochan. The rhododendrons are just coming into bloom and the hawthorn is out putting its sweet scent into the air. The air was full of dragonflies/damselflies, which kept landing on us for a few seconds before taking off again. There were a couple of ducks with some ducklings, one had managed to keep 7, the other only had 2 left. It was a pleasant walk with lots of stops on the numerous benches in the shade to admire the views.Posted by: Fern Villa on 26/05/2008 07:58:37
