Location, off the beaten track.

Very basic. Bit down at heel. Quite pricey for what it was considering how far out the way it is.

Very good space and good location for day trips.

7.0

It is a very large space with lovely high ceilings. A lot of thought has gone into making your stay comfortable and easy. Helpful and welcoming hosts and all the information provided for you in a book. Not too far to drive to Fort William and Glencoe and a nice walking area too.

A little bit tired, things like chipped plates, old towels and old blankets and the seal on the shower having mold on it and the carpet having dog hair in it. I think the palce was comfy and cosy anyway but maybe a little refreshing would be good.

Beautiful location in the small village of Dalavich with very friendly and kind hosts!

10.0

Beautiful location in the small village of Dalavich. Carol was so generous with our family. Our daughter is usually very shy around new people but Carol was very welcoming and made her feel at ease, even taking her to get some eggs with the Chickens. I would highly recommend this stay for anyone looking for a cosy family trip.

Great remote place to stay

9.0

Its a very good property . It has everything you need to stay and rooms were very spacious. Big backyard and lots of spaces for children to play

The location is very remote town. It's a single lane driving with frequent passing area, however driving feels longer. Otherwise it's excellent place to stay
