And we had a wonderful time seeing otters, seals, and all manner of water birds down on the loch. Would definitely return.

The property had everything we could possibly need for a great holiday - the location was incredible, made a great base for exploring the island - we were very sad to leave!!

Good location, well fitted out and quiet too as set beneath the A87. Weather typically Scottish Highlands, but that did not diminish our enjoyment. My constructive suggestion for improvement - clear the garden area down to the loch to make it a little more child friendly.
