A real haven of peace and tranquility that feels more like home than home does. I could happily live there.

Excellent location for spotting wildlife, we saw from the cottage with a telescope: Red Deer and a Golden Eagle. There is plenty of room and equipment within the property, and to a high standard of decoration and cleanliness. Would definitely recommend

Quiet and peaceful glen up a single track road that only takes 10 mins driving from the roundabout in Fort William. Cannot fault the cottage in any way. Comfortable beds and plenty of room for our party of four. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who enjoys the quiet and wild nature of Scotland.
