Beautiful location, very peaceful and quiet. Garden was not fully enclosed as described - we were unable to close the front gate so our dog could not roam the garden without one of us always being there. Cottage was comfortable but some rooms a bit tired. Modern kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed

Lovely bungalow in an isolated location. There are a couple of houses closely, but there is a huge dog friendly garden for this property. We would definitely stay again.

Super accommodation with newly refurbished bathrooms and kitchen. Very well equipped, very warm and welcoming. Super location well placed for exploring the Highlands on foot, cycle or car.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is more spacious than we expected it to be when looking at the photos online, but it was also really cosy. There are nice places nearby, within walking distance, that were good for the dogs. Also the garden is absolutely enormous. The neighbours sell things like eggs and jam outside their houses. The ownerRead more was very good at responding when we had questions. Hide

A great bungalow in a excellent position to explore the highlands. The bungalow content needs updating with cooker appliances not working, the kitchen floor is like walking on bubble wrap. With a little revamp and a more thorough clean this would be a great property.

A comfortable, clean, well equipped property. The cosy property is heated by a lovely log burner and supplementary heating. Fabulous location, very quiet and peaceful, the silence only interrupted by birdsong and the wind blowing through the trees. Well placed for local walks and easy access to Fort Augustus and beyond. Simply heavenly!
