Wow, this really was a stunning location and we absolutely loved the house too!The beds were all extremely comfortable with lovely bedding and the house was spacious and really well furnished. We had such a special week here with our teenage boys, exploring the area, pony-trekking just down the road and swimming in the (cold but beautiful!) loch right outside our door!We all loved putting the provided nuts and seeds out for the birds, badgers and pine martens each day and seeing all the abundant wildlife in the area.The brochs and brewery café at Glenelg were a highlight too and the beautiful drive over to Plockton and Plockton itself.The hosts were extremely kind and welcoming with some treats laid out on the table when we arrived and great communication throughout.We had a wonderful time and would love to stay here again. Thank you so much!

This is a wonderful property, very family friendly in a beautiful setting. Paula is a wonderful host and not only had nice things waiting for us when we arrived, but she also was accommodating in heavy snowfall. We are absolutely going to come back to this charming, beautiful, cottage in a gorgeous part of the highlands. What a gem!

The most beautiful peaceful setting with amazing views and wildlife all around. Excellent communication from the hosts. The cottage itself was nice and clean, a little bit of a quirky layout but to be expected for a 100 year old property.

The house is beautifully situated with a fantastic view. The five of us spent a wonderful week here. For a walk with our dog we either took the very quiet street or the approximately 1.5-hour circular path through the forest above the house. Communication with the very friendly hosts, Paula and Rob, was also excellent. We would love to return.

Lovely spot

Really enjoyed our stay here. Nice and cozy. Perfect for us and the dogs. So great to have Pine Martins, a Badger and a vast array of birds outside the kitchen window. My eldest son loved sitting out the front on the bench next to the Loch gazing at the stars. Great stay.

Beautiful location on the shores of Loch Duich. Numerous places a short distance away to visit or go hillwalking, paddleboarding etc. Isle of Skye accessible in around 30 minutes.
