Probably the best holiday home we've stayed in. Beautiful location, clean and spacious, with great facilities. If I was being picky, it could do with a couple of bigger pans, as there just aren't any big enough to do large family cooking, and the electric car charging is temperamental and slow (3kw max). But that said we'd be back in a heartbeat. There is plenty of wildlife around the house and immediate area, we saw otter, deer, porpoises, badger and an osprey, so take your binoculars.

A very well equipped house with stunning views over to Applecross and the Bealach na Bà winding its way up and over the hills. With hot tub and sauna and plenty of space, it was a great location to bring two families together (plus dogs) for rest and relaxation.
