This spacious property was perfect. Well equipped, clean, and views of Ben Nevis from your bed was a great way to relax and chill. Beds very comfortable and very clean. Three on suite bathrooms, very spacious and all with showers, also shower and toilet downstairs. (Although I missed my power shower at home) these were adequate. We chose a perfect week because while England was melting in a heatwave, temperatures here were in mid to low 20’s, clear skys, only one night of thunder and rain. Fort William is only about 8 miles away with some nice shops. There is also a cable car up the Nevis range and because of fine weather views were stunning. Also from the house local walks by the Caledonian canal. Can highly recommend if you want peace and quiet.
