Camus Slatach in Glenfinnan offers a tranquil retreat with stunning loch-side views and a peaceful atmosphere. Guests appreciate the privacy, the natural beauty, and the proximity to local attractions. While the cabin is described as basic, its charm and location compensate, with many guests returning and booking future stays. The presence of wildlife and the option to explore the loch by boat add to the appeal, despite some comments about the need for updates and maintenance.
The property generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests finding it clean and well-presented. However, a few guests noted it was not as clean as hoped, with some minor issues like towels needing replacement, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is consistently praised for its beauty, tranquility, and proximity to nature and local sights. It is described as a peaceful haven with magnificent views, contributing to a high score in this category.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cabin cosy with electric heaters. However, some guests mention that the furniture is dated and uncomfortable, and the bathroom can be cold, which affects the comfort level.
The cabin is equipped with necessary appliances and offers a well-equipped kitchen. Nonetheless, guests have pointed out issues such as the lack of a freezer, dated furniture, and minor maintenance needs, which suggests room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
About this property
Camus Slatach is a simple small wooden chalet, perfect for couples in an outstanding secluded position on the shore of Loch Shiel. Scenes from the Harry Potter films were shot from this spot and 'the viaduct' is close by, as is the Glenfinnan Monument which marks the landing point of Bonnie Prince Charlie's return to Scotland to attempt to take back the throne. The surroundings are spectacular with easy access to some of the most famous breathtaking scenery in the Highlands including Eilan Donan Castle and The Isle of Skye.

Brilliant location and the cabin, although basic was perfect for us. Very clean and a comfortable bed . First time I have felt sad leaving a holiday accommodation.
