Fantastic week! Very remote which was just what we were were looking for. Very well equipped and comfortable accommodation. Good facilities - especially kitchen and cooking equipment - even 2 Yorkshire pudding trays and cake tins! Beautiful views from every single room in the property - watching the sun rise over the loch without getting out of bedRead more was a real treat. Plan ahead with food - it's a good trek to the nearest shop. Milk available locally though - and an excellent coffee shop nearby. Hide
