Itâs in a beautiful secluded spot, but not too far (by car) to Fort William. The beds are super comfy and the kitchen has everything you could need for cooking at home.

It was extremely well equipped, beautiful location, easy to get to places from here and would highly recommend. The photos of the rooms do not do it justice, very nice indeed!
