An absolute gem of a lochside retreat in Wester Ross. The panoramic water views from the cottage windows were just what we had hoped for, and we even had resident cormorants! Inside, the property was spotlessly clean, warm, and combined rustic Highland charm with all the modern comforts you could need. It provided the ultimate peaceful base for exploring the dramatic local landscape and relaxing by the water. Would highly recommend this magical Scottish getaway!

Beautiful setting, very comfortable accommodation, easy parking. All you can hear are the birds. We did not want to leave. Perfect to just sit and de stress looking at the loch in the sunshine. Would definitely return.
