We had a lovely holiday at Ach-na-clachan. The view from the cottage is amazing (and was the reason we booked it).The kitchen is well equipped, but some instructions for how to get the fan oven to work would be helpful (we got there in the end). The outdoor space feels a bit unloved (the grass was cut during our stay, but the stack of loose paving slabs and stony area don't create the most inviting outdoor space). Overall it is a comfortable, well equipped cottage in a lovely location, but could be even nicer with a few small changes.

St John Hattersley
Excellent cottage in spectacular location (there are very few cottages like this one with totally unimpeded views and direct access to the foreshore).Kitchen hob may need some attention soon - as markings are worn and heat is difficult to regulate. But this is just a maintenance issue.Internet has frequent drop-outs - which is a feature of the remote area rather than the cottage itself. Worth bearing in mind if you have to make e.g. onward travel arrangements on-line.
