A lovely little cottage. Had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The lovely welcome basket from the owners is fab. Homemade goodies and other bits. The owners are very welcoming and helpful if you need them. We would definitely stay there again and would definitely recommend to friends amd family.

Great place to set up base for everything Loch Ness. Co-op and takeaways just up the road and an easy walk to Urquhart Castle.
