We had a lovely time staying in this cottage.It has a great view over Lochcarron and is close to the local amenities (spar, Lochcarron cafe etc).We had arranged a tesco delivery to come on our arrival day but the Spar is well stocked if you need a top up.It’s a good location to have as a base to then go off exploring - this time we stayed closer to home and loved it.The cottage had everything you could need from a slow cooker and air fryer, coffee machine, hair dryer washing machine and dryer as well as an airer.The cottage was lovely and warm and the log burner was nice to have on during the storm - it felt nice and cosy.We will definitely be coming back
