Google wuste nicht, wo es ist, aber dank des Telefons konnte uns Morag dirigieren. Sie wohnt direkt darüber und ist sehr nett. Ein herrlicher Blick über Loch Nes. Es ist eine kleine Wohnung, steckt voller Leben und Erinnerungen. Direkt am Haus führt ein Wanderweg entlang. Gerne wieder.

Morag is a fantastic host who makes you feel so comfortable. This was our second stay at Temple House West and we would definitely go back again! The cottages location is fantastic with the centre of Drumnadrochit a few minutes drive away. The view out of the cottages windows overlooks Urquhart bay with a fantastic view of Urquhart Castle.If you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay, I would highly recommend.
