This is an excellent property. The garden ran down to the foreshore with beautiful views. And we did actually have an otter there one morning!! And seals too! Views ti Eileen Donan Castle. (Filming for a new HIghlander movie was taking place. Greeta light shows at night and Highlanders on horse back with blazing lanterns).The house is very tastefully furnished. Lots of lovely touches. Kitchen and bathroom very nice. Obviously a well loved home. Very Clean - SO Important. And we were cost too, even through a gale! Lovely log burners. We were three generations and the grandchildren loved the garden. Obviously there isn't a shop close by, but Spar 7miles, Co-op 9 miles. Glenelg-Skye Ferry was fun. Only turntable ferry in the world! The pasties and coffee at the cafe great. Plockton worth a visit too. A fishing boat came in while we were crabbing. They had caught 1,000 prawns and offered to sell us some!We had a really great week. Our 7 yr old was in tears leaving.Beautiful property. Beautiful views. So peaceful. Can`t wait to go back!!
