From finding this cottage on the site, through booking and to arrival, everything went smoothly. The owners were really responsive during booking, arrival information and directions were spot on, and the property was beautifully prepared when we arrived. The location is everything here. For our first visit to the Highlands, it was right in the middle of everything we wanted to see (Loch Ness boat trips, Loch Ness visitor centre, Urqhart Castle, Glen Afric, Inverness, Culloden, Fort Augustus...). Location-wise, the cottage has an enviable view over Loch Ness. The garden slopes steeply away about 100 yards beyond the cottage, and standing at this point, I felt like I could just dive into the deep black waters. The views from the windows and the garden are breathtaking. Inside, the cottage is everything one could wish for in terms of charm, comfort and convenience, with a fabulous heating system, supplemented by the open fire in the lounge, great showers, and all mod cons. It's so big inside the kids got a little lost on day one! But the thing this cottage offers which is unique against anything I have ever stayed in, is the artistic touch in the decoration, furnishings, and accessories around the home. Everywhere is homely, charming and quirky. it's hard to explain without being there, but the cottage itself is fascinating! Thank you for a fabulous stay. We will be back!
