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.

This was my fifth stay in the Shepherds Cottage and it’s become my favourite place to chill for a week in the Highlands. Perfect location, very quiet, and with a lovely view, it’s also an ideal base for exploring. I would happily recommend the cottage to anyone, the guys at Achintee Farm have always been very welcoming. However, as I am about to pick up a puppy, and they are unfortunately unable to allow pets to stay, my future adventures in the Highlands will need to start from a new base, otherwise I would have no hesitation in booking again.

Be prepared for wet weather and midges, when visiting the Highlands. Great location for hiking and mountain biking. Close to the West Coast, so some beautiful places to visit such as the ‘Singing Sands’, and Arisaig. The spectacular Steall Falls are close by, as are Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness, and the iconic Eilean Donan castle.
