The view's from every window was stunning. It's a well run clean, warm, home from home, its in heart of the glen, so Highland walking is at your door step.

Proposed here last year! Had a lovely time here last December, having stayed here under previous owners also. It's a fantastic location, very unspoiled and relaxing though we were among the very few/ first to arrive by foot and it's a significant walk from the main road (albeit it that is part of the charm). There's some lovely walks straight from the cottage and up in the mountains adjoining the Bidean nam Brian massif. I popped the question at the top of one by moonlight. Had a great stay, plenty of space, clean and tidy with a nice welcome pack and the owner was very nice and hospitable, even
