A beautiful house with a beautiful view. The garden was huge and the dogs loved exploring it! Large rooms so plenty of space. We especially liked relaxing in the sun room. The local amenities were excellent. Great communication with the host, Claire. Thanks for a great week 😊

We had a fantastic couple of weeks at Lochcarron Lodge, the house is an ideal base for exploring the southern half of Wester Ross and for day trips to Skye. The house was brilliant and Claire is a great host if we had any issues or queries.

Wonderful house. Lots of space for us all and very clean.Location was lovely and we could take her paddle boards straight across the road and into the loch.Bike storage was very useful given the wet weather. The garden was great for our 2 dogs. Thanks for a great week.
