Just back from spending a week in Mackenzie Cottage, Poolewe. The cottage is very comfortable and extremely well equipped, with a good cooker, hob, shower, bath, microwave, efficient heating (at least for a wet week in the summer!), plenty of cutlery, crockery, cooking implements and equipment. There was even a stand with some sachets of tea, coffee and hot chocolate, plus some Tunnock’s tea cakes for us, and some biscuits and other treats for the dog. The beds are really comfy too. The location is great, being in the heart of the village. It’s near the hotel if you want to have a meal out or go to the pub, and very good for walks along the head of the loch and up the river. We have just booked to go back again next year!
