  The positives.

  It was a nice touch with eggs, flowers and milk on arrival. Clean towels and bedding. Comfy living room and bed, and a good supply of tea, coffee, and sugar and cleaning materials. The location is great for scenery and there is loads to do round about once you drive the six miles to the main road which leads to Fort William to the right. We rated the stay as a 5 star, as we had an amazing weeks holiday, this was nothing to do with the chalet. Negatives Don't be fooled by the photographs, these must have been taken when the property was new. The property is very tired and in desperate need of updating and maintenance. The accuracy of the listing is false, as there was no working freezer, which to be fair we were contacted about the week before. I do feel however, this has not been working for some time, and has not just broken, as the door on the freezer didn't shut either. The coffee machine listed is an old Tassimo in a cupboard, we did not use this, as it looked as though it had been there for years. The toilet seat in the main bathroom is hanging off and hits you in the back when you sit on it. As this was the case we used the toilet in the en-suite whilst we were there. The shower in the main bathroom does not fasten to the wall, so this could not be used as a shower, other than hand held. The bath panel is also not well fitted and there is a crack in the bath. The shower in the en-suite, kept altering in temperature when being used, although no other taps etc, were being used. The cooker hood was really greasy and makes an horrendous noise and the boiler also makes some odd noises, maybe this needs a service? There is no carbon monoxide monitor in place. There was no fuel for the fire, (as advertised). Nothing has PAT stickers on, so does not give faith to the fact that any of the electrical equipment has had the necessary safety checks completed. The wall lamp in the bedroom when switching this on fell off the wall and my husband had to fasten this back on before it could be used. I could go on, as there were more issues, however, overall the place does need a deep clean and some major maintenance, which we are lead to believe is planned. It was not worth what we paid for it and we had booked this very well in advance for our 35th wedding anniversary, expecting this to be more like the photos we had seen. We did have a lovely weeks holiday and enjoyed all Fort William and the surrounding areas had to offer, not letting the accommodation spoil our stay.

  This holiday lodge is located in a beautiful spot with stunning views of the mountains and loch.

  The lodge is well-equipped and comfortable, and the owners are friendly and helpful. However, there is a construction site next door at the moment, which can be very noisy during the day. This may be a nuisance for some guests, but others may not mind it as much., Normally, this would be a great place to stay if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing vacation with stunning views. Here are some pros and cons of the lodge: Pros: Stunning views of the mountains and loch. Well-equipped and comfortable lodge Cons: Construction site next door can be noisy during the day and may be a nuisance for some guests, but others may not mind it as much.We were unlucky to be there whilst the excavations were being carried out. Shame we were not informed beforehand.

  Holiday was fantastic.

  Accommodation was lovely the view was stunning. I normally have trouble sleeping in different beds but this was comfortable even for my 6ft husband, the single beds are on the small size not quite big enough for adults but they did sleep ok in them. Can't fault accommodation for cleanliness. Our only tiny thing wrong was there is not enough seating in the lounge only a 2 seater sofa and 1 chair not ideal for 4 adults, we did bring a garden chair in with cushions on it was ok. But nothing to spoil our holiday. Great location as well. Would definitely recommend and will try to get back again in the future.

  The chalet was a lovely place to stay in general.

  However, it required some work i.e extractor fan and outside light not working. Fridge door did not shut properly, entrance floor very wobbly i.e potentially damaged and wet underneath. Chalet could have been cleaned to a higher standard with a bit of dust and hairs in the bathroom. Some windows did not shut especially in the front room and could seriously do with a TV in each room. Location was not easy to find but local people provided directions. Owner was very nice and helpful and did not interfere with our stay. Animals in neighbouring field provided evening entertainment for the whole family!

  Brilliant! A lovely, comfortable, clean and cosy chalet, with SPECTACULAR views.

  To wake up, open the curtains and see the loch and the mountains in all their glory was like a picture postcard that changed every day. The sheepdogs in the neighbouring field entertained us daily with the sheep and the owners chickens came to visit day and night. Their eggs were also delicious. Nevis was climbed, lochs were cruised, wine and whisky were drunk on the deck and all in all a wonderful holiday. As for the weather!? First time I’ve been able to say we had no rain at all!, just beautiful sun. ☀️ Ross the owner was very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Highly recommended!
