About this property
Camus Slatach is a simple small wooden chalet, perfect for couples in an outstanding secluded position on the shore of Loch Shiel. Scenes from the Harry Potter films were shot from this spot and 'the viaduct' is close by, as is the Glenfinnan Monument which marks the landing point of Bonnie Prince Charlie's return to Scotland to attempt to take back the throne. The surroundings are spectacular with easy access to some of the most famous breathtaking scenery in the Highlands including Eilan Donan Castle and The Isle of Skye.

Beautiful setting directly overlooking the loch, easy walk to the local hotel and Glenfinnan viaduct and monument. Peaceful and dog friendly. As advertised, the cabin is basic with no frills. It was warm and we slept well. We took a disposable bbq for cooking outside and cooked a meal no bother indoors the next evening when wet. Nice wee pony frequents the stable and outdoor area next door.

This was my 4th visit and will certainly not be my last. It is a holiday home with everything and nothing at the same time. No TV, No Wi fi, no radio signal and only partial phone signal. What does it matter with the spectacular views from the cottage of Loch Shiel and the total piece and quiet of a fabulous location within easy reach of humanity, I love Camus Slatach!
