I always worrie when staying at new place will it be clean have good WiFi easy to get to do on but a can say when I walked into the willows I said wow I was impressed it has the feel,I looked round and it has everything you need a sofa that you don't slide off as its not fake leather like so many are,So test WiFi yes it works fine 🙂 I can opener didn't work for me but none ever seem to so I now bring one maybe they dont like English cans he he,Was also so nice to see dear walking past front and across the garden 🙂If I could recommend anything I say maybe a empty unit or shelf to put food in there was room after I move thing back I base unit, and maybe a sign for willows down drive? I had a idea where it was but still had trouble finding it think it says down side of guest house? So I was looking for guest house sign but it dont say that, So would i recommend i sure would and i would book again to its a beautiful place in a good area easy to go to Glen coe or fort William and Mallaig from there to,Thank you Lisa great job 👏

Lovely chalet - has everything you need and really cute decor. Direct access to the main road to get out and about and a great orbital walk from the village. My only moan would be the mattresses were not great (3 adults) and the towels were small and definitely need upgrading.Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our week
