A very comfortable cottage in a beautiful location. Views from the 1st floor balcony are spectacular. There are walks along the Caledonian Canal from the house and lots of other interesting and scenic places to walk and visit very nearby.The cottage is very well equipped with the convenience of 1.5 bathrooms and the sitting area super relaxing. The hosts were very friendly and easy to contact. Would definitely recommend.

The Annexe was great for two people. The home was clean, tidy and comfortable. Nichola’s communication was great and helpful. The home is a great base for Fort William, Loch Ness and Skye. We would definitely stay again.
