Linda
The views were outstanding. A lovely property, very spacious and clean. It had everything we needed and more. Cleaning and washing/drying facilities (although we did not use them) were provided including detergent. Full size dishwasher and plenty of crockery meant we only used it twice, we took our own dishwasher tablets but there were some provided if needed. There was two of us and only used downstairs rooms. The property was big enough to accommodate a family of 6. Minor negative was the very steep driveway which may be an issue if it is icy.

And we had a wonderful time seeing otters, seals, and all manner of water birds down on the loch. Would definitely return.
