Fantastic space and facilities indoors to cater for any poor weather the west coast could throw at you . High quality oven which faces the view to loch allows for easy cooking. Space in main living area, snug and bedrooms allows everyone a place to escape..... but also a loch facing decking and wrap around garden get you outside to enjoy fair weather quickly. The local area is beautiful , it's the 2nd from last house along a dead-end road which turns into a forest walk.

Additional shower. Settees too low for older generation. View of Loch restricted by trees etc., if this cut back would make such a difference. More cleaning materials supplied. Above is not complaints just suggestions.

Ruth & John were great hosts. Prior to our arrival we received a lovely, informative email. Communication was very friendly. Everything was straight forward, directions were easy to follow. The property itself is wonderful. Plenty of parking space, lovely secure garden, perfect for our daughter and dog. The bed linen is wonderful, spotlessly clean and very luxurious feel. The property has everything you could want/ need and more. It’s all been well thought out and all the everyday essentials plus a lot of added extras are catered for. The location was perfectly peaceful. We loved exploring the west coast from here. We wouldn’t hesitate to rebook.
