Stunning views , disappointed with accommodations condition , not what I expected from your company,been using your company for 15 years , not happy with cleanliness of property and the mattresses should be called mats! . Not what I expected after a 10 drive from Nottingham. Stair case is surely a safety issue, would not recommend to families .

Seaview is a traditional croft that sits nearly on the shore of The Little Loch Broom peninsula. The property is simply furnished but has a washing machine and tumble-dryer which comes in handy on wet days. We have also loved the fireplace as that provided the cottage with a cosy feel. The location is super quiet and the views are really rather beautiful so if you do not mind simple accommodation in a stunning area, this is the property for you. Please note that the staircase to the bedrooms is a partial spiral with narrow steps and may not suit those with mobility issues or with young children.

While the cottage is in a stunning location it could seriously do with updating. Curtains falling off the rails, bedding smells damp and wad stained when covers removed. Very small with no central heating. The owner supplies logs and coal but still cold and the bathroom was damp and mildew on bath sealant. Such a pity as it has tonnes of potential.
