The apartment was exactly as was described in the information received.Carole was really welcoming on arrival.The welcome hamper was appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed. The location was fantastic as we could reach all the areas we wanted to visit and the view from the lounge was beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.

Julie United Kingdom

The location was a great base for what we wanted to see. Only 30 minutes to the Glenfinnan Viaduct and similar distance from Glen Coe area. Well equipped kitchen, good storage space in bedroom and a comfy lounge. Lovely hosts, plenty of off road parking space.

Sarah United Kingdom

Very warm homely accommodation with very kind, friendly and helpful host who provided lots of interesting information on places to visit in the area. The location was perfect, great views of the Loch and mountains and very close to town for shopping, transport, entertainment etc.

Great hosts, very friendly, welcoming and informative. Apartment very comfortable. Location great. Stunning views over loch. Parking on site. What more could you ask for?

Vivien United Kingdom

The views were superb looking over the loch from the front windows of the apartment, even the view from the side window was good. The welcome by Carole was very friendly and informative and the 'welcome pack' was comprehensive and much appreciated. Parking was easy and the outside seating areas were well thought out. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts Carole and Andy.
