We have been staying here for some time, from way back when the Lodge was called the Cape Wrath Hotel. Kyleview cottage suits our needs very well. Within striking distance of the Limestone Lochs (which is our reason for coming), clean, well situated and great communication with the owners and housekeeper. Everything we need.
