The cottage and its setting is a little bit of heaven. Weve stayed in many cottages in Scotland and this is one of the most comfortable and well equipped we have stayed at - it really is a home from home and really has that feel about it. The surrounding area is beautiful and has great walks. You can spend hours just sitting looking out of the diniRead moreng room window watching all of the wildlife that visit the garden. Also the garden is fully enclosed and secure. Would definitely visit again. Hide

This is the first time we have stayed in this cottage and loved every second of it. It literally is a home away from home. Prime location to be able to explore Scotland and the wildlife there was spectacular. Cant wait to go back again and would highly recommend.

We had a fabulous stay at Learag. Everything you could possibly want was provided, the house and garden are beautiful, a real home from home only better! We even got to grips with the Aga which wasnt as daunting as I first thought. We hope to be back soon.

A home from home - everything you need with a fantastic dog-friendly garden (but treat for ticks before you go). Very comfortable, peaceful and relaxing. Helpful owner and cleaning staff. Saw osprey fly low over garden and red squirrel.

Learag is a very, very comfortable and spacious bungalow. The garden is very large and lovely. We regularly saw red squirrels in the garden and deer from the garden. The cottage is very well equipped. The beds are all comfortable. You will have to learn to use an Aga to cook with but therere plenty of books. You are unlikely to see anyone passing bRead moreut there is some background hum from the A9, 500 m away. Hide

Had a comfortable stay at Learag, a home full of 70s charm. Could reminisce, relax and enjoy the wonderful trees surrounding the garden and driveway. Short walk into Tomatin and the lovely cafe. Will surely return again.
