A nice, peaceful location with beautiful views. Its proximity to Skye and the many Munros was a real bonus for us. The cottage was spacious and clean and we liked the games and books provided. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils and some essential ingredients. We found the shower to be temperamental as it was difficult to get a constant temperature. The Internet connectivity and TV signal was intermittent. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

The cottage is in a beautiful location and is very comfortable and well equipped. It has a very homely feel which we loved. Whilst not everything is new, the place is full of character and clearly loved and well maintained by the owners. We loved having plenty of space for the two of us and the views over the loch from the living room were a joy. We did experience some difficulty finding it on arriving as the house is not visible when travelling along the narrow approach due to it being set back and well above the road. Its proximity to Skye made it a great location for us whilst also giving us the opportunity to explore a different and very beautiful part of the Scottish highlands.

A lovely cottage in a splendid location. The views are ever changing and beautiful. The sofa bed in lounge is not particularly comfortable to sit on but everything else is good (heating was a bit eccentric but sorted it with advice from the very helpful owner). Really well equipped (nothing lacking at all in kitchen or around the house). Only exception was we needed the torches when storm Amy hit and the power went off but the batteries were flat. The emergency light upstairs is well placed and gave temporary help. Will definitely want to stay here again.
