Guests say
Kildonan cottage is praised for its stunning location, wildlife views, and comfortable, well-equipped interiors, including a games room. Guests enjoyed the peaceful setting and proximity to local attractions, though some noted maintenance and cleanliness issues.
Most guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, but there were mentions of dog hair on sofas and dirty walls, indicating room for improvement in cleanliness.
The location is consistently described as outstanding, peaceful, and great for wildlife watching, with spectacular views and nearby attractions, making it a highlight for guests.
The cottage is generally considered comfortable with plenty of space, comfy couches, and secure gardens. However, some guests mentioned issues with windows and midges that could affect comfort.
Facilities like the games room, kitchen, and ample parking are appreciated, but there are concerns about maintenance, such as sealed windows, a non-cold fridge, and the need for an EV charger.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so this category cannot be scored.

Wonderful cottage in an outstanding location on the NC500. Cottage itself was excellent the views and regular visits from the local red deer population made it especially beautiful. The games room was an added bonus when the weather closed in of an evening. It is quite a drive to the nearest Tesco, but what a drive!! We where pretty organised and stocked up in Inverness on the way up, but the little tesco in Ullapool as well as the shops in Gairloch are pretty good for bits and bobs. We've already booked a return stay. Just perfect for us.

The house was absolutely perfect for what we required. Fantastic views in every direction. Plenty of space downstairs, lots of comfy couches. Spacious kitchen/dining room. The games room finished everything off nicely. Upstairs the bedrooms were perfectly laid out for our party and lovely and clean. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone visiting the area.
