This cottage is the best we have stayed in. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and equipped with everything we could possibly need to enjoy our holiday. The location is beautiful, peaceful and ideally situated for exploring the Highlands. Alice, the owner, is lovely, friendly, very welcoming and helpful. We couldn't have wished for a better holiday ( the week-long sunshine helped too). We highly recommend the Jacobite steam train from Fort William to Mallaig, the cable car (gondola) in the Nevis mountain range and a cruise on Loch Linnhe. On sunny days the views are amazing. We hope to return.
