Sonas is adjacent to the owners' house. They were friendly and helpful. It wasn't entirely easy to find. It had what we needed, including a good bike shed, and is handy both for Fort William and the trails in the forest just across the A82.

Great wee hoos. Hosts very welcoming. Very good and quiet location but close to all amenities and main routes for touring. Would recommend without question.
