About this property
Camus Slatach is a simple small wooden chalet, perfect for couples in an outstanding secluded position on the shore of Loch Shiel. Scenes from the Harry Potter films were shot from this spot and 'the viaduct' is close by, as is the Glenfinnan Monument which marks the landing point of Bonnie Prince Charlie's return to Scotland to attempt to take back the throne. The surroundings are spectacular with easy access to some of the most famous breathtaking scenery in the Highlands including Eilan Donan Castle and The Isle of Skye.

This is a cosy cottage- not fancy but well equipped and with the best views you can imagine. Peaceful but not remote. Boat available for use if you have outboard knowledge. Good roads around for sightseeing in the stunning area.
