A fabulous week at Braefoot Cottage, if you're looking for somewhere not too far off the beaten track but that has fantastic scenery and walking on the doorstep then this place is for you. Spotlessly clean with everything thing that you need for that well earned break.

Pop along the road to see Castle Tioram. Hide

Lovely, comfy cottage in a great location. Very clean and well set out. Loved the Conservatory. Plenty to do and see in the area. Great for wildlife, especially in the garden. Pine martens and a badger visited every night. Garden could be better set out for wildlife photography purposes.

Beautiful cottage in peaceful surroundings. Stunning views through the valley on the road to the cottage from the ferry. Suggest buying a book for ferry crossings to save money. Couple of shops near by for basics. Only criticisms is that usb sockets are needed in this day and age, and WiFi hit and miss due to location.
