Brian
The house is within walking distance of Mallaig for access to the ferries and the local shops and restaurants. The photos of the properties on the listing don't do it justice. It is large, modern and comfortable with amazing views over to the islands. Thank you.

It was very comfortable and we had everything we needed for a self catering holiday. It's in a great location also, only a 10 minute walk to Mallaig and also close to the beautiful beaches in the area, a short drive away. We had a problem with the boiler, which was quickly dealt with by the owners. Melanie also made sure we had everything we needed during storm Ashley, in case of power failure. We would definitely stay again.

The views over to Eigg and Rum were amazing. The kitchen was very well supplied with crockery and utensils and the beds were very comfortable.
