Poor communication
We never got an email with the code for the key safe. Contacted VRBO and was on hold for ages. I was given the phone number for the owner who we phoned and he contacted us back after some time. He gave us the code and was apologetic but still waiting for up date from yourselves. We got into the property some 2 hours late which wasn't a good start to our break. Communication had been good to this part. Accommodation suited us and great location. Would use again for a group of lads

Excellent location of house with the best view but difficult to access living room when there is only a curtain to shield the top bedroom.

Ideal. Great place to stay
Found this accommodation very well situated. Could not ask for more in the house. Everything you could ever need and views amazing. Five adults and so much room to move around. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent Venue
Exactly what we needed for a 3-Night trip to cover places on the West Coast Easy to drive to Skye, Glenfinnan, Shipwreck of Corpach, Eilean Donan etc and an easy walk to both Tesco Express and Morrison’s House was well stocked with everything we needed and was perfectly located for walking around Fort William View from the balcony was stunning

Large home for our family of 7 people.
Great location, short walk into main street and train station. Easy parking and access. Great lounge area and views. Well equipped kitchen. Beds were a little firm for some. Bunk room would not be suited for older kids. Was perfect for our family group.

Base Camp for a lovely outdoors vacation
Really good stay. There are a lot of stairs. Best views in town from upper deck. Super convenient location to walking area, train, library, supermarket, pubs, etc. Ample easy and safe parking. Slightly hard to locate. It might help to send a picture or put a flag on the hedge or something. Downstairs Entry holds an odor of past wetness but the upstairs apartment is fine. I am very sensitive and concerned at first but up the steps it isn’t noticeable. I love all the doors on all the rooms-even the kitchen. It allows you to change temperatures for each area quickly. Kitchen is well stocked for all needs. 3rd floor den has a treasure trove library for the area which was really helpful. Bedrooms were plentiful and comfortable. Wish our party was bigger, we didn’t use 2 of the bedrooms. We noticed the long counter upstairs in den with power outlets which would make a great place to do work if you need to work while you are away. We were very satisfied with our stay, our communication with Nick, check in, cleanliness was great, value and especially the view. We were only sad our stay wasn’t longer. 2 days weren’t enough for all the outdoors activities. Steal Falls were amazing.
