  • "A house with an amazing view and a very lovely host (with a lovely dog)."

    The house itself has everything you need, although it is all a bit dated. Very close to amazing places to go for a walk.

  • "Had a lovely break in this comfy cottage ."

    Beautiful area , several walks in the Glen and more strenuous walks a quick drive away . The owner Christine and her lovely dog Hugo made us very welcome.

  • "The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay, the location for us was perfect with a beautiful view from the front of the cottage."

    The owner Christine was lovely and Hugo the spaniel a delight. We booked both cottages together, they were just perfect for 2 couples wanting their own space but close enough to pop in and out either through the patio doors at the front or the doors at the back, the back door led into an entrance with the back doors to each cottage on either side but with their own keys for privacy. The only thing I would add is a shower over the bath as one of our party needs help getting out of a bath but we managed ok. Would 100% recommend. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    Thanks for a lovely stay Christine! We really appreciated the flowers and cake on arrival! Such a stunning part of the world with easy access to walks, rivers, lochs and a few nice cafes. Brilliant week in a clean, cosy cottage with cracking views.

  • "The cottage is advertised as a 4 bed, but is very small with the bedroom being very small with only 2 single beds and they are really only childrens beds they aren't proper solid adult beds."

    The double sofa bed in the living room is also only really suitable for 1 person sue to the position it needs to be put up in and the stability of it, and there is nowhere for the people in the living room to really store their stuff. Also there is only a bath / no shower which when their are 3 people coming back from walking all day isn't great. I would say it is really a cottage for a couple or no more than 3 maximum. It's quite expensive for the week given the size of it and it's minimalistic facilities although it is in a nice location.

  • "This is an amazing cottage if you want to have a chill out and would also be ideal for walkers."

    My daughter and I went for a week's chill out as she needed a break from work. Travelled in all directions and took in the amazing scenery around this area. Christine is an amazing host, even greeted us with two glasses of whisky. She is very friendly and cannot do enough for you. Looks out onto the glen where cows and sheep wander and trees outside cottage where we watched the woodpeckers appear regularly a well as many other birds. Only 12 miles from Drumnadrochit where you can eat in Fiddlers Restaurant and taste some of their amazing malt whiskies. An amazing village just to have a wander in. Nearby is Beauly and a wee bit further on Dingwall. We even drove to Ullapool and the scenery was amazing. First class in every way well maybe the weather was a wee bit disappointing but did not bother us.

Set in the secluded Scottish Highlands, Glen Affric View overlooks the stunning hills and valleys of the area, perfect for a chilled, romantic weekend away.

The apartment has everything right where you need it with its open plan living area, welcoming with big comfortable sofas to relax on whilst watching Sky TV with the breathtaking backdrop you can see through the large French patio doors.

The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of room to rustle up a home-cooked meal after an exquisite walk through the incredible surrounding area.

The bathroom is spacious with plenty of storage for your bath bombs and bubble bath, ready for a calming soak after a long day taking in the scenery.

The popular attraction of Glen Affric is just a short walk away, a Nature Reserve surrounded by well-known trout fishing spots.

The local essentials such as the pub, shop and restaurant are just a 2 miles away, which is more of a reward than a task due to the incredible views that this place has to offer.
