All our guests who stayed last week for half term had a fantastic week of weather. The skies were clear and very sunny with lots of snow still around. Several people visited the ski slopes and 2 of our guests learned to ski at Anoch Mor in perfect conditions.www.nevisrange.co.uk Glencoe ski centre is also having a good year after worries it may have to close down due to lack of visitors.www.glencoemountain.co.uk It's great to visit the ski centres, even if you don't want to go skiing, both centres have great cafes and the views are stunning!!


The temperatures reached -9 on Thursday night which led to one of our main water pipes freezing!! So we had no water on Thurs. night/Fri. morning. Ian spent the whole day on Friday trying to find the problem and unfreeze the pipe, which he did. Thanks to all our guests who were very patient and understanding. The joys of a private water supply!!



We took the Corran ferry across to Ardgour on Sunday for a bike ride. the weather was gorgeous so we thought we would make the most of it. We rode for about 6 miles along Loch Linnhe and then turned up to Cona glen, a beautiful track which runs for about 8 miles. We took the following picture of the river Scaddle, which you can see is completely frozen.
The sun was bright in the sky but it was very cold as we followed the River Cona up the Glen, many of the burns running into the river were frozen solid! We saw 4 Hinds grazing near the river, they come down low at this time of year, as the sub zero temperatures are even too cold for them!!




There are some pictures here, looking back over to Ben Nevis from Ardgour. It looks absolutely stunning!

Well it's not long now until we re-open for the new 2010 season (Sat.13th Feb.)! We have had an eventful winter so far, as lots of people have. The water seems to be fine now after it freezing up in the stream and in the pipes to the chalets. Hopefully no more really cold weather!! Although the skiing is still doing well with fresh snow falls yesterday and Sunday. www.nevisrange.co.uk/ It is a bright and sunny day today, so ideal conditions!

We went out for a bike ride on Sunday around the shores of Loch Linnhe, we started out in blue sky at lunch time and ended up in a blizzard in the afternoon,just shows how quickly the weather can change.

It was a beautiful afternoon and the views to the mountains and over to the Ben was just breath taking.



Bishops Bay just down the road at North Ballachulish, the tide was well out and its not often you can walk out to the small island, this is due to the spring tides brought on by the full moon. This picture shows the view over the bay to Glencoe.



We are fully booked for the week beg.Sat.13th Feb.2010 but have plenty of availability after then. Easter is nearly full so if you are thinking of taking a trip then, get in touch for availability www.glencoeselfcatering.co.uk
