Best ever holiday cottage we've ever stayed in. Attention to detail is brilliant. Well placed for touring around Ullapool, Gairloch and even up to the top. So clean, tidy, cozy and everything you need is there. Beautiful summerhouse 'The Nuthouse' lovely place to sit and read with a brew. Definitely recommend
