The location of this house next to the loch is beautiful. The views are amazing. The furniture etc is comfortable and the house is huge. If you are going to cook you might need to take your own pans etc as they are quite small for a big party.

Very high quality and near perfect location. A lovely house with the only fault being one available key for a difficult door to lock/unlock, especially with arthritic hands! A very unsympathetic response when I made contact to query the problem and a patronising forensic description of how the door mechanism worked. Otherwise, pre-booking experiencRead moree was wonderful and very helpful. Hide

This house was lovely, very clean, well equipped for 8 adults & comfortable for a weekend. We loved the fire & open plan living and really did enjoy our stay. The location of the house is pretty, however the closest town is quite run down & surrounding areas are in need of a little TLC.
