This is a cosy cottage set in beautiful gardens. It is well equipped and very comfortable. We found the little patio attached to the cottage quite midgy because the trees protect the garden from winds but with a beautiful beach at the end of the road who need anywhere else!

It is a comfortable cottage well located for anyone who wants to go south to the Isle of Mull, east to glencoe, north to fort williams, ect. The hosts live next door and are very friendly. Their garden is also beautiful so I would recommend a stroll around the garden.

A beautiful, tranquil cottage. Exceptionally appointed garden cottage with stunning views and with it's own courtyard fenced garden. Parking is off road and right at the side of the property. The kitchen was extremely well equipped- but no freezer compartment with the fridge ( a minor thing). Bed was comfortable with feather/down pillows and duvetRead more. The cottage is in a really quiet location with mountain walks and the beach on your doorstep. It is situated on the quieter side of the Loch- accessible by the Corran Ferry and is in a superb position to discover quiet areas of the Western Isles. All in all a perfect gem! Hide

Weve just returned from a fabulous stay here and can highly recommend this property. Anna and Norrie were very welcoming hosts and offered great tips and advice throughout our stay. The property enjoys a stunning location by the coast on the Ardnamurchan peninsula. The garden is wonderful and there are fantastic views and walks from the doorstepRead more. It is also a great base to explore the local area - we loved Sanna Bay, Morar Loch and Mallaig. And the property is fantastic for furry friends too. Our two dogs enjoyed every minute and the full enclosed garden was much appreciated. Hide
