Maybank

About this property

Caol 2.8 miles. Maybank in Muirshearlich, Scottish Highlands, is the ultimate, secluded retreat perfect for couples, families or friends. This single-storey, detached holiday home lies on the banks of the Caledonian Canal, with views over to the Ben Nevis and Aonach Mor Ski Ranges and a wealth of home comforts for a self-catering break. Drive through one of the most scenic areas in the country, before arriving at Maybank to the private, off-road parking. Step inside and enjoy a cup of tea in the conservatory while taking in the views. From here, unpack your bags in one of the four bedrooms, with a mixture of doubles and twins suitable for a variety of party types; the king-size bedroom also has a handy en-suite shower room for extra privacy, while the remaining three bedrooms are serviced by the family shower room. When appetites appear, make use of the kitchen to rustle up your home-cooked meals, which can be enjoyed at the breakfast bar casually or in the dining room for a more formal affair. After dinner, spend some time in the large garden while your furry friends stretch their legs on the lawn. Finish off your night with a film in front of the open fire in the sitting room, before catching your rest. Maybank is in the ideal position for any outdoor enthusiast; the Caledonian Canal, which runs down the backbone of Scotland, flows through the bottom of the garden, with a path leading to Jacob’s Ladder and Spean Bridge. Venture into Fort William to find a selection of shops and restaurants, as well as ample options for outdoor activities including kayaking, walking, climbing and even skiing! Cyclists and mountain bikers won’t be left short either, with Great Glen Way nearby, while birdwatchers and animal lovers can stay on the lookout for the local wildlife, which is bountiful. Within reach by car, you can also travel to Loch Ness, Skye, Aviemore, Glencoe and Oban to make the most of your Scottish trip. Whatever your style of adventure, choose Maybank as your base.

Caol, pronounced "cool", is a picture-perfect lochside village resting between Fort William and Gulvain mountain. The village is known for its dramatic views of the surrounding mountain ranges, and the Caledonian Canal, which passes through the north-west of the village, and offers an easy route to nearby attractions including Caol beach, Neptune's Staircase and Old Inverlochy Castle. Dining options include two takeaways, Sammy's Fish & Chip Shop, and The Golden River Takeaway, along with The Lochy, a traditional pub and restaurant, while you can stock up on essentials at the nearby convenience store. Within easy reach of the town is the popular town of Fort William, where you can find further attractions and outdoor activities such as the famous Ben Nevis, Steall Waterfall, and plenty of museums and visitor centres in the surrounding areas.
