A comfortable and spacious house made a great base for a large group on holiday to walk, climb, open-water swim and mountain bike. The house was warm, beds were comfortable and the showers / baths were perfect after a long day on the hills. Useful utility room just by the front door for wet and muddy clothing, but it would be helpful to have a couple of airers for drying kit that can't go in the dryer. Weather was mixed and the pool table provided excellent distraction from that, just a pity we didn't have time to try out the BBQ hut!

Group of ten of us booked River Mill House for our annual reunion. We are all hillwalkers and country goers so know Ballachulish area well. This house is well situated central to the village; short walk to Isles of Glencoe for an evening meal, another good restaurant in the village, Co-op at centre of village. The house was well set out with well designed kitchen, sitting room with ample comfortable chairs. The garden will be a great place to sit out in the summer. All bedrooms clean and comfortable and everything was ready for us when we arrived. Probably the best we rental place we have stayed in over many years.

A beautiful clean house. The best equipped I have ever stayed in. The weather let us down but the house certainly didn't. I hate to make any negative comment however, I hope my suggestions will make it even more perfect. The toaster is too small for a large group. The sitting area needs some coffee or occasional tables to sit beverages on (alcoholic and any other). Thanks for everything else.
