Lovely property in a fantastic location. Had everything we needed, although we spent most of our time out exploring. Forgot to fill in the guest book at the property but would highly recommend this place to everyone. Great base for trips out to Fort William or further out such as Oban, Skye…. A must is Steal Falls, Eilean Donan castle, and the old man of Storr. Also during some school term time the school pipers band play in Fort William high street on a Tuesday evening at 7.30 if you are lucky enough to be there it’s worth a visit. We love this place and would certainly come back to this property again. Very dog friendly too which was great 👍.
