The cottage was wonderful, full of character, nicely furnished and very clean. It was well equipped with everything we needed. We really appreciated the care taken to make it nice. It was a stunning location in the valley surrounded by mountains, and yet not far from shops and restaurants. It wasn’t quite secluded as it’s right next to the path to Ben Nevis and the Ben Nevis Inn, but we didn’t actually find this to be a problem. It was very quiet and just a beautiful spot.

The Ben Nevis Inn next door is absolutely lovely. It does good hearty food and the live music on Tuesdays is definitely worth going to. We enjoyed the museum in Fort William very much. We did several short (but quite strenuous) walks nearby recommended by Forestry and Land Scotland, which were wonderful, especially the ones to waterfalls and with great views. And a great discovery was getting the car ferry across the loch near Fort William and the stunning drive the other side. We loved Crannog restaurant in Fort William, next to the museum, which does excellent seafood.

Triagh golf course is a spectacular little 9 hole course with stunning views. A little nearer is Speanbridge 9 hole course. Take a Scotrail train to Mallaig and see the glenfinnan viaduct for a quarter of the price of the often cancelled steam train! Great fish and chips and a bakery there too! The grog and gruel in Fort William served reasonable food at a good price.

Scott and Heather are great hosts.The cottage was very comfortable and cosy. The benefit of a shower and bath were very welcoming after a long walk. The bed was very comfortable. Overall the week was excellent.

The location of the cottage was very good, mountains on your doorstep. The added advantage of the Nevis inn outside the cottage door was ideal. I would recommend the food there. There are plenty of shops and eateries in Fort William some 2 miles from the cottage. Ben Nevis path is literally on the doorstep, one point of caution is that you are starting from sea level , the manufactured path is useful , but it is long and very strenuous, make sure that you need to equipped with sturdy mountain boots. Preferably not trainers, the weather is very changeable.

Please take my advice stay away every one. I love this place so much it's always booked and I struggle to get my holidays here. Dom and Scott are so nice you will never want to leave, where does that leave my next booking. It's just the best location in the Highlands so find your own cottage.
