Fantastic house with lots of character and a good location for touring the northern west coast of Scotland. The rooms are comfortable and the place is very homely. Have stayed a couple of times at Mungasdale House and will hopefully return again soon..

Lovely cottage in a quiet location, enabled us to explore more of the North Highlands. Worth knowing that as the change over is a sunday to make sure you get some essentials before going to the cottage as local shops are shut after check-in time. The house was very easy to relax in and the number of downstairs rooms meant we weren't constantly on tRead moreop of one another. Very dog friendly and great space for large groups! Hide

It is a lovely cottage with superb views in perfect secluded spot. The boundary is enclosed and safe for dogs to roam around once the main gate is locked. The water colour is a bit stained due to it being from a private source and treated with Peat. As the shops are at driving distance, its best to carry bottled water with you when you arrive if thRead moree colour puts you off, the taste was fine. It took us some time to figure out the AGA oven, but it was quite handy once you get the hang of it. Hide
