This cottage was superb. The owners have thought of everything and more. The location was magnificent, the walking second to none! We would definitley recomend highly and advise you to read the info the owners provide re shops/petrol and seasonal closures as it was invaluable, as were the locals!

We absolutely adore thos cottage. It's well kept and practical. When we were looking for a accommodation we wanted something original and historic and this place ticked all the boxes. You have the most beautiful views of the beach in the front and the mountains with a waterfall at the back. The accommodation even have a nice cozy fire place which was a huge factor when we were searching places in Scotish Highlands. This cottage is quite remote which suited us. It about 2 hours from Isle of Skye and Ford William. This did not bother us as we were exploring the Highlands and visiting any attraction we could find. We did not plan anything and decided to 'just go with it ' vacation, so we decided in the morning where we wanted to go. The owners are friendly and polite.
