Great cottage in a superb location . Munros behind you , Loch Hourn in front . You really can’t wish for anything better . Quite isolated , so bring food as nearest shop, with adaquate but limited supplies is in Glenelg about 30 mins away on a single track road . That’s the only reason I’ve marked equipment as good not exceptional - really a bigger freezer would be advantageous . Had a power outage and more seriously the mains water failed for a day . Not the estates fault but mentioned so you can prepare yourself. I suppose we are in the Highlands . Housekeeper Yvonne was brilliant . But overall a great holiday was had .

The cottage is well maintained and clean through out. Set in a beautiful location for walking both mountains and easier walks through local glens. We did not have mountain bikes with is but would be a good location mtb.You do need to take plenty of supplies with you due to the remote location. The house is well stock with equipment for making meals with large fridge and freezer. We will certainly look to visit again. Good pub around 10 mile away but you do need to book early.
