House was spacious and very well equipped. Stunning views all round and a lovely little walk down to loch. Amenities close by in Ballachulish (5 minute drive). Plenty to do in area.

Excellent holiday. Comfortable, roomy house in beautiful surroundings. Living up in the tree canopy was perfect, with all the woodland birds, hard to keep up with filling the feeders. Pine Marten visit was the star attraction. Good area for wildlife including two Golden Eagles. One of the best holiday cottages we have had.
