Lovely location close enough to eilann donan, Kyle of Lochalsh for shops (coop 10 minutes away) and easy access to skye. Close to loads of hillwalking e.g. five sisters of Kintail. On the shore of Loch long, really relaxing watching the birds and the tides from the sunroom, with beautiful view of Eilann Donan 🏰

Stayed in sun room most of the time, weather was great, so views were stunning. Loved our week, Skye a few times, Applecross, and Plockton were all beautiful in the sun.
