Ideal location, able to walk from the door to amenities. Lovely fish and chip shop not far from the house Sammy’s best fish and chips I’ve tasted in a long while. The view of Ben Nevis from the windows at the back and garden just beautiful. We would stay here again

Lovely spacious house in great location. Secure garden so dogs could go in and out as they pleased. Easy walk to the beach and Neptune's Staircase (both with great cafes), and short drive to Fort William. Plenty to do in the local area

We loved having our own ' house in the highlands.' There was everything we could possibly need. We felt as though we were living in the village. Walking distance to Neptune's Steps, train station to see Jacobite train go through and great pub,, The Lochy.
