It was a few miles either way to reach the nearest towns. Property was lovely but wasn't as clean as could be. The fridge hadn't been cleaned out, the bin lid had stains on it and there were a good few cobwebs, cutlery had food residue on some and the bins outside were full to over flowing. The washing machine which i didn't use had a constant leak which i dried up every day as did the radiator in the living room and the bottom hall.

Wir haben uns in dem Haus sofort wohl gefühlt und würden es jeder Zeit wieder buchen. Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Die Lage des Hauses ist genial, es liegt mitten in der Natur. Der Loch Ness ist zu Fuà in 3 Minuten zu erreichen. Weitere Ausflugsziele sind sind bequem mit dem Auto zu erreichen.

I especially enjoyed the apples from the tree in the back garden which in spring and summer would be lovely for a BBQ. For us it was late necessities for the dog. The house was warm and cosy and heated quickly with a boost. The only thing we could fault were the bath and shower facilities , only stayed for a short break and could not make the downstairs shower above tepid, despite instructions, perhaps we would have sussed it if weâd been there for a week!! This did not detract from the stay just would have been top scores all around without this minor inconvenience. Thanks for the stay.
