A lovely, clean, cosy cottage set in a beautiful location overlooking Loch Linnhe. The cottage has plenty of room with four double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The kitchen was the heart of our stay. The wood burner in the lounge made for a perfect cosy evening, and the games, DVD’s and books kept everyone amused. The attention to detail and the homely touches made our stay comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable. This part of Scotland is stunning with so much to see and do, the cottages location meant everything Scotland has to offer was easily accessible.We will definitely book this cottage again. It’s just too good not to!!
