This lovely property nestles on the edge of the stunning Loch Arkaig and makes a fantastic getaway for guests seeking tranquillity and peace. The historic village of Spean Bridge (13 miles) features a shop, hotel, restaurants and golf course, or you could head into the bustling town of Fort William (17.5 miles) with its wide range of shops, leisure facilities and places to eat and drink. Surrounded by dramatic landscapes with spectacular mountains and sparkling lochs, this is a marvellous base for exploring the beautiful Glen Dessary estate (12 miles).

Very well equipped and comfortable. We saw the deer on several days. Nice to walk down to the loch, sadly no osprey sightings. Be mindful that the closest food shop is along way away so ensure you stock up before arriving. All in all a very peaceful stay.

The cottage is easy to find; we arrived at 02:00 in an Amber Warning storm 4 Adults stayed, so there was ample space The layout is lovely, all rooms are absolutely fine with the exception of the smallest bedroom-treat it as a sleeping room only, due to the size. Kitchen Diner is wonderfully laid out and equipped. Fantastic location by the Loch and Read morethe road in is fine for larger vehicles; the scenery is beautiful and you get to pass a gorgeous waterfall. No problems during our stay Hide
