Beautiful cottagec in a stunning location with off road pirivate parking protected by cones and double yellow lines to prevent trainspotters and tourists from parking. Steam train runs right behind house what a view and experience that is. Cottage is fur ished to a high standard with quality bedding and suoer comfy mattressss.We booked it to visit family and will book it again So close to lovely beaches at Morar and trip to Mallaig well worth it.

Absolutely stunning cottage with an amazing Mountain View one side, and the train track the other. Unfortunately the Jacobite wasn’t running when we stayed, but the train line isn’t busy so we barely noticed the ScotRail trains. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed and more. It was the perfect base for a holiday of walks and sightseeing, and a lovely place to relax. Highly recommended! We’d definitely come back and stay again!
