"We loved our stay at the Lochy Lookout, it was everything we needed, the view over the loch was stunning and the property clean and super comfy, it was nicely decorated and so wonderfully quiet."
A fabulous place to stay for a quiet holiday, whilst exploring the beautiful Highlands.

"The property is in a lovely location."
It is well equipped. General cleanliness was good except underneath on sofa had not been cleaned for some time with a layer of dust & debris. The beds were comfy. The cooker was completely useless, we were unable to boil a pan of water for an egg despite using boiling water from the kettle. ( I have a ceremic/induction hob so am well used to cooking with them). A super Nespresso coffee machine, but no coffee pods, despite them being shown as fully stocked in the photos. Not everybody will be familiar with these machines. At least leave a starter amount in a ‘welcome pack’ to allow visitors to shop That said a pint of milk & 6 tunnocks tea cakes in my opinion is not exactly welcoming! The towels were hard, small & tiired. Surely a decent (man size) bath towels could be supplied?

"What a wonderful place."
The quaint atmosphere, the mesmerizing Loch, the amazing location, everything from beginning to end was top-notch. We had a really nice stay and the view from the window was amazing
Hi Mr Albeladi Thank you for your lovely feedback and we are so happy you had a nice time at Lochy Lookout. We feel exactly the same way in which the area is amazing. Once again thank you for visiting us and we hope to see you again in the near future. Kind regards Mike & Georgie Property Owner

"A great place with everything you need, well equipped, clean and stunning scenery."
Very peaceful but close enough to go to Fort William. Great butchers/fishmongers in Locaber.

"What a view - this has got to be the star aspect of the accommodation … We even saw deer at the edge of the Loch !"
! The cottage was very clean and well presented. Lovely decor and all the facilities required for an enjoyable stay. We had an issue with the water pressure from the taps/showers and TV reception on the Saturday night, we called the number given and were told someone would look into it the next day, a Sunday We were out when they came, leaving a note as why we were having an issue - something to do with the ‘bore hole’!!! Anyway - all fixed, we were so pleased to be able to have a shower on our return!! Very swift, effective response to the issue we had - many thanks !! The only negative, but it’s a personal thing, as I have arthritis in my hip - the sofa and chairs outside are particularly low?? Overall a great stay in a beautiful cottage - added bonus was the amazing weather we had last week !! We would certainly recommend the cottage to anyone wanting a quiet, relaxing, comfortable retreat in the Scottish Highlands !!!

"We spent a week at Lochy Lookout over New Year."
Its a superb modern accomodation, in a stunning location, which was well equipped and clean. Cozy, and the beds were very comfortable. The views are amazing. The welcome pack provided was much appreciated, and the owners were great at keeping in touch prior to our visir, and advising us of adverse travel conditions in the area. Many thanks

"Absolutely gorgeous cottage the views /location are breathtaking, we would definitely stay again ."
The only issue was lack of detail in cleaning bits were missed . Lamps in bedroom thick dust , as were the venetian blinds and tv needed a good clean when the sun shone on it . But saying that i’d still come back we throughly had an amazing time . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi Jacqueline Really glad you enjoyed your stay at Lochy Lookout but sorry to hear the cleaning was not up to scratch. I have contacted the cleaning company and passed on your review for them to address immediately. Sorry again that this was a down side to your holiday and hopefully it will not put you off visiting us again in the future. Thanks again Mike Property Owner

"Wow! What a fantastic location and beautiful apartment."
Really well equipped and very comfortable. Comfy beds, great shower…..and nice gel. Fantastic spot to relax after a day on the hills. Sitting on the terrace and looking across the loch to the hills was a great spot for breakfast
Hi Tim Sounds like you had a great holiday and hopefully you marked a few Munro’s off you list. Really pleased you had everything you needed at Lochy Lookout and had a relaxing stay. Thank you again for choosing to stay at Lochy Lookout and hopefully see you back some time. Kind regards Mike & Georgie Property Owner

"Lovely place, comfortable and well equipped."
Good location. Had a lovely time. The only criticism is that it could have been cleaner. There was dirt under one of the settees and cobwebs and dust in the hall way behind the umbrella container and in the twin bedroom down by the lockers. Having said this it did not stop us having a great time.
Hi Margaret Really glad you had a great time at Lochy Lookout but sorry to hear you thought the apartment wasn’t clean enough. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and I will be contacting the cleaners to explain what you found. Hopefully we will see you back in the near future. Kind regards Mike & Georgie Property Owner

Lovely property with gorgeous views, had everything you need for a very relaxed stay wouldn't need to take anything other than your own clothes, the little touches like the teacakes left added a little something extra , Would highly recommend

"Fabulous hidden gem, breathtaking views."
The apartment had everything you need including a washing machine which was very handy. It’s so peaceful & we didn’t want to leave. We will hopefully return one day.

"A good modern apartment which was well kept and clean."
Wonderful view over the loch with chairs on the patio to soak up any sunshine you're lucky enough to get. Lots of hillwalking in the area and it was great to have a bath to soak those tired legs. A nice bonus was Netflix on the smart TV for those rainy nights. Would definitely recommend.
Hi Stewart Thank you for your feedback which is much appreciated. Really glad you had a great time and got to climb a few local Munro’s. I am not really a bath person until I travel to Scotland when after a good walk there is nothing better than a good soak. Thanks again for booking Lochy Lookout and hopefully see you back in the near future. Kind regards Mike and Georgie Property Owner

"Wonderful apartment, very cosy, felt relaxed and ‘at home’."
Facilities consist of everything you need, and the view was fantastic, you don’t need the TV just look out at the view. Would definitely stay there again. Very peaceful and quiet
Hi Michael So glad you had a great time at Lochy Lookout. Really hope you managed to get some good pictures with your camera. Thanks again and hopefully see you back soon. Kind regards Mike Property Owner

"Accommodation at Lochy Lookout is first class."
Everything of good quality, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Easy parking in a lovely location. Wonderful views from the patio. One of the best self catering I have ever stayed in. Would recommend it unreservedly.
Hi Angela Many thanks for your lovely feedback and so glad you had a great time at Lochy Lookout . Hopefully you had time to see and do all that you wanted to. Thanks again for staying with us and hopefully see you back in the near future. Kind regards Mike & Georgie Property Owner

"An incredible view and very peaceful."
After long days of hiking, sitting on the patio with a great backdrop was the perfect ending.
Hi Peter So happy to hear you had a great time at Lochy Lookout. We were there the week before you and had some fantastic weather and finally got to climb Ben Nevis. Hopefully the good weather extended into your stay. And what you said about sitting on the patio at the end of the day is my favourite time, with a beer and just relax and forget about all the horrible things going on around the world at least for a few hours. Thanks again for booking Lochy Lookout and we would love welcome you back anytime . Kind regards Mike & Georgie Property Owner

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Loch Lochy."
Sumptuous furnishings, excellent facilities and a wonderful view of the loch and mountains. Very convenient for getting our and about and yet so peaceful too. We walked the local Munro hills and the apartment was the perfect place to recuperate at the end of an exhausting day. We intend to return as there’s so much more to do. Would definitely recommend.
Hi Jeanette So glad you had a great holiday and loved your time at Lochy Lookout. We haven’t walked any of the local Munro’s ourselves yet so will definitely have to do that. Thanks again for your kind , positive feedback and would love to welcome you back anytime. Kind regards Mike Property Owner

"We had an amazing g holiday at Lochy Lookout."
The apartment was so well equipped and absolutely spotless. The view is absolutely breathtaking and we enjoyed glorious sunshine every day. Sitting on the patio seeing the fighter jets going up Loch Lochy on a training exercise was a highlight of the holiday We will definitely be booking again.

"10/10 for everything, where to begin!"
Lochy Lookout is a stunningly decorated, clean, and comfortable apartment with incredible views, the perfect location, and a feeling of being the only one around for miles despite there being multiple other units. We could not have asked for better accommodation! We got lucky and ended up being one of few families staying at the time, so it was so quiet and peaceful, but even if all of the other units were taken we feel it would still be just as quiet and relaxing. We arrived to an incredible and uninterrupted panoramic view of Loch Lochy, and a packet of Tunnocks teacakes (funnily enough our favourite, thank you for this gesture!), there was plenty of space for clothes, with a wardrobe in each bedroom which is certainly rare! From the first moment we felt at home, and we were truly sad to leave. We have already booked for 2024! Pros: - The showers are amazing! - The view and decoration is breathtaking - It’s kept extremely clean - Everything is modern, plush, clean and user friendly - A logged in Netflix account and great tv variety - Well equipped kitchen - Comfortable sofas and beds - Dishwasher and washer/dryer, means we can bring less clothes next time! - Easily accessible parking where you can see your vehicle from the apartment - Great base to travel out from to see different places Cons (these in no way impacted our stay, it was possibly the best holiday we’ve had) - The washer dryer is quite loud when on spin - The hob was temperamental (easily avoidable if you bring food that just needs an oven/microwave) The only other con was that we had to leave! Thank you again to Georgie and Mike for a perfect stay in your beautiful part of Scotland, a place that feels like time stood still!
Dear Thomas & Samantha Firstly thank you for your wonderful feedback and are thrilled that you have decided to rebook for next year. We are so pleased the Pro’s outweighed the Cons and will look into the washing machine and the hob when we visit in May. With the hob being Induction we might need to look at the saucepans. Thanks again Mike & Georgie. Property Owner

"Excellent location, Spectacular view."
We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The place had everything we needed. A well-equipped Kitchen, and a cozy living room with very comfy furniture. The apartment is excellently situated, at a short drive we could visit Ben Nevis, Fort William, and many other places of scenic beauty. It was very thoughtful of Mike and Georgie to arrange a Christmas tree and place it all beautifully decorated just before our arrival. Thank you Mike and Georgie for a memorable Christmas weekend.

"The most amazing views never tired of the mountains the Loch wildlife just perfect ."
Very beautifully decorated and comfortable and warm. It was good having two bathrooms. The walks from the cottage along the disused railway line seeing the deer was brilliant as was the walk down to Loch side. Parking space for one car right outside next to property . All good. If there was one point to mention that a bigger freezer would have been better with 4 adults staying. But apart it was a really pleasant time away with our family . Thank you
Hi Christina Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are so glad you had a great time with your family. Take care and hopefully see you back in the near future. Thanks again Mike & Georgie. Property Owner

"We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at Lochy Lookout and, in over ten years of self-catering holidays, would rate it as one of the best places we have ever stayed!"
It is evident a great deal of thought has gone into every aspect of the apartment: the beds were wonderfully comfortable, the shower was powerful, the kitchen was very well-equipped with appliances and utensils of a high standard and the furniture and decor was tasteful and homely. The welcome gift of shortbread was much appreciated! I cannot write enough about the spectacular view! It was simply breathtaking, and the fact that the apartment is located in such quiet and peaceful surroundings meant you could relax and enjoy the scenes for hours. We were disappointed that the deer that so many previous visitors talked about in the guest book didn't make an appearance for us, but we did befriend a shrew who kept popping out from a hole to the left of the bird feeder outside. We also had regular visits from chaffinches and robins. The place proved a good base for exploring the Highlands, with Fort William, Ben Nevis, Fort Augustus and Loch Ness all within short drives. We would also recommend visitors take a drive around Loch Lochy; the ancient woodland on the other side was beautiful. All in all, an absolute gem of a place which we would definitely return to.
Hi Sumera Thank you so much for your lovely feedback . We are so pleased you had a great stay and you had everything you needed. Sorry to hear you didn’t get an appearance from the local deer. Thanks again and hopefully see you back at Lochy Lookout soon. Kind regards Mike & Georgie . Property Owner

"Accommodation was fantastic, great views and spacious."
Very warm and comfortable and very clean. Parking limited to one space, which could be an issue for some.

"Lochy Lookout is exactly as described in the briefing part from the fact the views are even more spectacular in real life."
The accommodation is perfectly situated for travelling to and from places of interest, especially if like us you wanted to cram as much into your holiday as possible. We ate in the apartment every evening and why not when it’s so well equipped. We know that we don’t have to transport so much on our next visit because the property is so well equipped to suit all of your needs. We definitely plan to return as soon as next year because this really is the most perfect place for staying at, and for staying in when you need to recharge! A light and area apartment, clean, tidy, well laid out. Brilliant kitchen and bathroom facilities, dishwasher, washing machine/ dryer, lovely warm showers, good quality soaps, it even has egg cups :-) all of this is welcomed and makes a difference, makes you feel cared about. A great base for visiting Isle of Skye, Inverness, Glencoe, Aviemore, the Cairngorms, Oban and only about an hours drive from the ferry over to Mull. We’ve already shared the information for Lochy Lookout with friends because I’d want them to experience the same good fortune that we have over the past two weeks. A lucky find for us, a pure gem, the perfect retreat when on holiday. Thank you for allowing us to stay at Lochy Lookout, it really was a treat!
Hi Mandy Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are so happy you had such a great holiday and wow you did visit a lot of places . Thanks again and you are very welcome back anytime. Kind regards Mike & Georgie Property Owner

Everything that we could possibly need was there and catered for. The home was a lovely location, with stunning views and enabled us to enjoy our first family holiday together. We would recommend Lochy Lookout to everyone who wishes to visit Scotland. We used the cottage as a base and there were plenty of activities to keep us busy throughout our stay. Thanks for having us and I do hope we will visit again in the future.
