Very impressed with the cabin, finished to a high standard, all kitchen appliances, it's location private and tranquil. The hosts Helen and David were on hand if needed but there's nothing more you could need. Loved our week there and will definitely return. Iain & Karen

The amenities of Inverness are also only a short drive away. Helen and David were very helpful and even sent on some gifts that we had left behind! We would definitely love to visit again!

Very welcoming owners and lodge was very clean with lovely welcome pack and a wee gift as it was our honeymoon. Not far from Inverness and other attractions which is definitely a fantastic benifit especially since we had our 3 children and 2 dogs with us. Some people don't like all the instructions etc but I found these very helpful and even had lists of local places to visit with dogs etc which was amazing. My only slight issue I had was after paying for the holiday was then told I had to pay £150 returnable cleaning fee I wish this was communicated straight away as we had to then save and budget for this however it was paid back straight away when we returned home so not a big issue. We will definitely be staying again as we all loved it.
