Quite possibly the best uk holiday Ive ever been on. Marion was brilliant even when not on the estate where the bothy is she was just a text message away. Such a beautiful and scenic area with plenty opportunity to walk and see various things. Urquhart castle and the invermosriston falls were our highlight. Thank you again

Lovely little stone cottage but the bed is in a mezzanine floor with no standing room ,crawling space only . and the only way up to it was what can only be described as a bunkbed ladder. Not suitable if you are disabled. There was a Log Burner and a complimentary basket of Firewood. The extra wood at cost was missing. However, this was resolved quiRead morete promptly after we managed to contact our representative of the owner. if we were to go again, we would definitely choose the summer Hide

We stayed for our wedding anniversary and had the most perfect week possible. The bothy is well equipped and comfortable in every way. We loved the quiet time in the evening sat by the window or wandering around the beautiful maintained estate and around the shores of Loch Ness. We spent most of the days exploring all the wonderful places nearby, yRead moreou won't get bored! It really was a perfect place to stay. Our host was lovely and welcoming too. Hide

Great place on a fantastic site. The whole area is incredibly well looked after and obviously loved by the owners, who get stuck in maintaining the place. The summer house by the small lochan is a great place to relax in and I even caught a small pike from there. Great views of Loch Ness and amazing local walks.

Lovely place to stay with a beautiful view and location. The kitchen had enough equipment if you want to cook but the Glenmorriston Arms pub is 5 mins walk away which sells nice food. Good location to visit a lot of areas in Scotland. Had a fab week.
