Ilona
Situated 5 miles from Fort William in the Great Glen, you are ideally located to view Ben Nevis, explore Lochaber, try a variety of pursuits and see why Lochaber is called the “Outdoor Capital of the UK”. Three miles from the “Road to the Isles”, our location ensures good access to the west coast including Moidart, Ardnamurchan and ferry access to the Small Isles and Skye.The immediate area holds an abundance of wildlife and fauna such as Pine Marten, Red deer, Roe deer, Otter, Owls, Buzzard, Butterflies, Kingfisher and Orchid, mosses and lichens. Shepherd’s Rest is a 3 bedroom architect designed self-catering holiday house. The house is fully double glazed, under floor oil heating with radiators upstairs, supplemented by a wood burning stove in the living room with initial supply of logs supplied. Sleeping 6 people, Shepherd’s Rest is nestled between the River Lochy and the famous Caledonian Canal. Situated at Torcastle the property is accessed through a tunnel (suitable for up to standard Transit van sized vehicles) under the Caledonian Canal bringing you to tranquil Torcastle, which feels like a world on its own.
