It a perfect position for exploring newtonmore and so accessible for daytrips. The house was huge much bigger than the pictures made it seem. It would be a perfect setup for larger families and the downstairs bathroom/bedroom would make bringing older members a possibility too. It was perfect, defiantly would return
