The house is lovely, tons of character, very spacious and in a great location. Plockton is beautiful.The bathrooms were great, very clean and the top floor bedrooms were really nicely done. All the beds we were very comfortable.The garden is fabulous with an amazing view from the top! The owner and housekeeper were very friendly and helpful when we had a query.The location is perfect - we day tripped to the Isle of Skye on a couple of occasions, as well as exploring the local area. Coral beach at the top of the village is beautiful.A few nice places to eat in the village.

Beautiful location but the property is very tired and smelled of dampness. The bedroom carpets must be at least 50 years old and dirty. The overall clealiness was very poor I have never seen so much rubbish and crumbs under cushions on a settee and dust on chairs etc. The cottage needs a deep clean and some investment even the toilet brushes were dirty and unbelievably old.
