Really enjoyed staying at the property. The lovely stove in the kitchen was really cosy and added additional heat to the storage heaters used for heating around the house. We did find the wood burner also useful to boost the heat in the lounge and dining room which were rather nippy at times.

The cottage was lovely, the location was to die for and it comfortably slept our whole party of 8. The instructions were clear and there was a list of numbers for various amenities in the booklet. The WiFi was amazing also which was unexpected. The nearest place to shop for food is Lochcarron so make sure you stock up before going over the pass othRead moreerwise its a long drive back to get essentials. Were planning to come back in a year or two. Thank you. Hide

Perfect location, size and layout. An exceptional property in one of the most beautiful places in the world. We were a party of six and there was so much room. The kitchen was a joy to hang around in and the dinning room was a surprising hit. I can see why people return. Our daughter needed a hot water bottle, we rang and one appeared. Says it all!
