This is our 4th holiday at Loch Duich Cottage - we love the area and the cottage is in a wonderful location. There has been a refurb since our last visit 4 years ago - some good, some not so good. The kitchen and new furniture were lovely but was grateful for step as some cupboards very high! As we travel with a wheelchair the ramp to the front door is excellent but the addition of some very thick rugs in rooms and hallways made it much harder to move around the house. Easily dealt with during our stay though.The main thing we missed was any instructions for the house (white goods, tv - dvd cable missing - WiFi code) - it felt as though the instruction booklet was missing and also there was no visitors book.We did have a wonderful holiday - the very cold weather (in May!) meant that we were very cosy in the cottage and able to enjoy the view from the windows in comfort. Would definitely recommend to others.

great location. However the cottage faciliities need attention:- patio doors seemed loose (we didn't dare use them after one attempt), other reviews complained of toilets not flushing all they need is the siphon mechanisms adjusting which was typiical of the whole place. It needs someone with DIY skillls to stay a few nights and restore things to a decent standard.
