Belmont Chapel Cottage – Charming Lochside Retreat in the Scottish Highlands. Escape to the heart of the Highlands at Belmont Chapel Cottage, a beautifully restored former chapel dating back to 1913. Nestled on the tranquil shores of Loch Shiel, this cosy and luxurious self-catering cottage offers breathtaking views of the loch, surrounding woodlands, and rolling hills. Inside, the cottage features a bright open-plan living area with a fully equipped kitchen, dining space, and a comfortable sofa bed. There’s a modern bathroom with a bath and overhead shower, plus a sunroom with panoramic loch views—perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Belmont Chapel Cottage sleeps up to 6 guests across 2 bedrooms: one king-size room and a flexible twin room with zip-and-link beds that can be made into a second king-size bed. Two folding guest beds and a travel cot are also available (extra charges apply for additional beds to cover linen and towels). Step outside and enjoy the ever-changing light over Loch Shiel from the front garden's picnic bench—or, on clear nights, you might even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights dancing across the water. Located on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, this is the perfect year-round destination: spring offers fresh blooms and warm sunshine, summer brings peaceful beaches, autumn turns the hills golden with the sound of rutting stags, and winter dazzles with dramatic light shows and snow-capped mountains. Well-behaved pets are welcome (max 2), though please note the garden is not fully enclosed and opens onto a quiet road.
