Ewen was absolutely brilliant, very friendly and helpful, gave us lots of great recommendations and went above and behind, we will definitely revisit in the future as there is so much we would like to do. Thank you for a great stay

The place was amazing spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you need . The owner and family were so hospitable and nothing was to much trouble . They were extremely friendly and helpful giving us all the places we could visit and where all the local amenities were. I would definitely recommend this place as it’s perfect to explore Scotland and the Jacobite .
