Lovely little cottage in idyllic surroundings.
Lovely little cottage in idyllic surroundings. Plenty big enough for 2. Owners are very helpful and friendly. Located just off from Loch Ness with easy access to main routes. Kitchen well fitted with all the equipment you need. Could do with a hair dryer and also some throws to sit out on the veranda with in the evening. All in all though a fantastic place to stay.
