Sonas is a lovely cottage in a great location. We enjoyed our Christmas in very peaceful place. There are plenty of great walks in the surrounding area. Outstanding views in a location which is within easy reach of Fort William and all it has to offer. We would definitely like to return here and would highly recommend Sonas to others.
