    The host welcomed us warmly. The flat is perfectly located to discover the surroundings (Loch Ness, and Glen Affric). The river close to the property is perfect to enjoy the evening, as well as the fire place in the flat.

    Only feedback that I could give is that I booked for two adults and one 9 year old. After reading carefully I saw there was one bed and only a cot bed for children. This is not practical for a child over the age of approx 2-3. I messaged and Catherine was very accommodating and provided bedding for the sofa, so all was fine but worth bearing in mind if booking with a child. My daughter was very comfortable though!

    Fabulous location, little home from home. Clean, had lots of consumables which was a lovely touch. My daughter loved the swing set at the bottom of the garden and the beautiful river and hillside view.

    Maybe a little more wood for the log fire burner but it wasn't a problem

    It was cozy and comfortable and perfect for our westie as it was a safe garden. We would book again no problem.

    Nothing, only that we didn’t get to stay longer.

    Location was excellent, really close to Loch Ness and being able to explore the beautiful area. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could have needed to cook. We especially loved the log burner which was so welcomed after a day out exploring. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was a great size.

    There was nothing not to like!

    Great location just outside Drumnadrochit, easy access to shops and cafes. The cottage is fabulous, cosy and yet spacious, warm and well equipped. It was the perfect hideaway for the two of us. The hosts were welcoming and brought us a basket of logs for the log burner but then left us to our own devices. The jar of Tunnocks tea cakes to welcome us was a fabulous touch, especially after our long journey. We loved our couple of nights here, thank you.

    The location was perfect for where we wanted to explore , only a couple of hours and you’re at Glencoe! The property was comfy and clean with a sturdy gate to ensure toddler and dog couldn’t escape . Heating was good , using the stove was easy and effective. Kitchen had everything you needed, Sitting having a croissant and coffee by the rapid burn in the morning was very special indeed great atmosphere down there. My cockapoo was made to feel welcome too. Recommend the local Chinese takeaway!
