A fabulous cottage in a wonderful, scenic part of the world. We were blessed with cold, dry sunny weather. Set in mature garden front and back, very safe for dogs with a wide driveway. The house is immaculately clean - big gold star to housekeeper ⭐, we also met the owner, a very nice man. Quality furnishings and decorations in bedrooms, kitchen well equipped and a comfy lounge with new settee including recliner seats, great after a good days walking. TV had lots of options to choose from. My only small concern was the blocked off fireplace. There may have been a reason for it, but any kind of fire, electrical, fitted or otherwise is a nice focal point creating a cosy comforting ambience, especially in the Autumn/Winter months. Also a few interesting books walking, climbing and watersports would be good considering the area and also a few historical ones.

A beautiful holiday cottage in a great location. Ideal for those wanting to hike and not to far from Ben Nevis.The owners thought of everything to make this a home from home. We met Edward who was so helpful and wanted us to have the best time. Very generous garden which our Border Terrier loved.Would highly recommend this holiday cottage.
