Guests Comments:

“The House is a home from home for us – every year we return to have our summer break in this fabulous part of the world! The accommodation is first class – and excellent enclosed garden for our dog. Fiona and Robbie on hand if we need anything which we never do as everything is at it should be. Very handy for beach and mountain walks and the ferry to Cape Wrath which is one of my five walks up to the lighthouse and back. Very glad to see Balnakeil craft village is reviving itself – great new restaurant The Whale Tale and great soya lattes in Cocoa mountain. And the shop in village caters for most. Top quality all round with location and accommodation.”
