About this property
Camus Slatach is a simple small wooden chalet, perfect for couples in an outstanding secluded position on the shore of Loch Shiel. Scenes from the Harry Potter films were shot from this spot and 'the viaduct' is close by, as is the Glenfinnan Monument which marks the landing point of Bonnie Prince Charlie's return to Scotland to attempt to take back the throne. The surroundings are spectacular with easy access to some of the most famous breathtaking scenery in the Highlands including Eilan Donan Castle and The Isle of Skye.

Camus Slatach was perfect! A beautiful cabin right on the shore of Loch Shiel. The cabin itself had everything you could need for a short holiday and was well placed to explore the local area either on foot or by car. A rowing boat was available for our use but we didn't make use of it. Always a joy to see the pony which wanders freely in the grounds and the stags near by.

Second visit to the cabin. Can’t rate it high enough for location and just being able to chill. Just sitting in living room and looking across water to the hills is enough for me. I have never revisited a holiday location before, and may well return

Wonderful outlook from this property location and a relaxing stay. We were entertained by the charming local visiting animals.
