Guests Comments :

“Amazing location with great views and nice a quiet yet still close enough to Fortwilliam if required Located (3 miles) from city centre, the location was wonderful.”

“Lovely room where Ben Nevis greeted you each day with lovely views. Our hostess was fantastic! The best of the 29 nights we spent traveling Scotland. Restaurants and pubs were close by. If you are a skier/snowboarder, you are minutes from the hill!”

“You will never find a place in all of Scotland with a more beautiful view of the mountains. I wish we had more time to spend here at this pretty location. It was lovely and Donna was a perfect host.”
