  • Nicola

    Kitchen was well equipped, beds comfortable. Loved having a coffee with views of the surrounding mountains. Angus was fantastic at welcoming us and making sure we got the best from the house.

  • Monika

    Beautiful, spacious, comfortable, spotless clean. Wish we could stay longer and hope to return. And special thanks for the shortbreads

  • Sophie

    It is the best equipped holiday house we have ever been to. It was cosy and warm and provided a perfect base to explore the local area. Angus greeted us on arrival and was incredibly friendly and helpful and the house was clean and beautifully presented. We would thoroughly recommend this property and area to everyone, particularly if you are Harry Potter fans but the area has something for everyone as there is so much beauty and history for everyone to enjoy. We visited the viaduct regularly to watch the train, enjoying the walk from the house through Glenfinnan station to make the most of the views of the loch. We took a boat trip on Loch Shiel and went for a swim in the loch on a quiet afternoon. We took the normal train to Mallaig, so we could travel over the viaduct, drove to Fort Augustus for lunch and a great view of Loch Ness, visited Foyer Falls on the east side of Loch Ness, some of our group climbed Ben Nevis one day and we all enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Ben Nevis Inn, we would recommend it all, all enjoyed through rain and sun, just a fantastic week, we would love to do it all again. Thank you for a wonderful week.
