We enjoyed a week in this property. It was perfect for our needs! Great location with mountain views and close to fort william (only a 5/10 mns drive!) for all the amenities. Great location to explore the area: Corpach Shipwreck, Glenfinnan viaduct, Mallaig, the beaches and of course Ben Nevis and the Nevis range! Quiet neighbourhood, we slept really well! No noise at all. Enclosed spaces at the front and back perfect for dogs, even small dogs!We will definitely consider staying there again if we are in the area!A suggestion: a coffee table in the living room would be great :)
