Justine
The house was well equipped with items and toys for the kiddos, and they loved seeing the sheep in the fields. The surroundings and views were absolutely stunning, we went on multiple walks from the house. We spent time doing puzzles by the log fires, and enjoyed watching the sunrises and sunsets. Utterly idyllic. Will be returning!

The house was clean and comfortable, the location is fab and convenient and we loved our time there. Jez came by to show us their herd of pedigree Highland cows, and it was a highlight for the children (and children at heart). Highly recommend

The location is peaceful and quiet, just a couple of minutes walk to the start of the footpath to Schiehallion.
