Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"We have no complaints at all with the cottage or its fabulous location , everything was as described on the app ."
The only downside for us and its only because we have a small car , the 7 mile very rutted road to it , but a minor complaint only, it did not mar our enjoyment of the cottage .

"It was my first time visiting Scotland and I stayed at this charming cottage, it was nothing short of spectacular."
Nestled in a tranquil area, the cottage provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The serene surroundings and the picturesque views were simply breathtaking. Every morning, I was greeted by the sight of lush greenery, as someone who has always lived in the city surrounded by buildings this was honestly eye opening, making it the perfect spot for nature lovers.
The cottage itself was cozy and well-appointed, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare our meals with ease, and the living area was perfect for unwinding in the evenings with a good film or a book (the cottage had both books to read, DVD’s to watch a film and a smart TV to browse through).
The area was incredibly peaceful, providing a much-needed escape into nature. The only sounds I heard were the gentle rustling of trees and the occasional chirping of birds, creating a tranquil atmosphere that was perfect for relaxation. Whether I was enjoying my morning tea on the decking or taking a leisurely walk around the area, I felt a deep sense of calm and rejuvenation.
There were plenty of scenic trails for hiking, the cottage had a lot of leaflets, travel guides and folders with maps to see nearby attractions. We visited a waterfall that wasn’t too far from the back of the cottage took us approx 1-2 hours to reach and it was breathtaking (just a heads up it was a lot of walking and some incline). There’s also an estate nearby that held the beautiful Highland cows and had some hiking trails. We saw a deer once on the first day but unfortunately we didn’t see anymore. There was beautiful little birds that would visit the birdhouse in the garden every morning (leave some seeds and water for them to have) and there was some frogs, sheep, turkeys, pigs and the locals friendly dogs. This cottage is a great base if you’re interested in visiting Isle of Skye it takes around an hour from the cottage.
John and Mae were both incredibly friendly and welcoming, they were both attentive to any needs and always willing to assist with any inquiries or requests. Their easygoing nature and sincere care contribute to a truly memorable and pleasant stay. We felt incredibly comfortable throughout our stay couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The locals were also welcoming and friendly adding to the overall positive experience!
In conclusion, this cottage offered an unforgettable experience. The combination of its beautiful views, peaceful surroundings, and comfortable accommodations made it a perfect getaway. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a serene and beautiful place to stay in the Scottish Highlands! :)
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and lovely review. It was a delight having you and your family stay with us, and we are very lucky to have had such lovely guests visit, it has been a great pleasure!

The views down the glen are like a painting. The House was very clean, stylish and well presented. Kitchen was well equipped with all the items you could possibly need. Having the mountains on your doorstep is a jackpot for someone who likes long or small hikes. This is the perfect place if you want quiet and break from busy city/town life. The host was very nice and gave us a few tips where to go. We felt very welcome - we will definitely be back.

"A lovely, lovely property with simply magnificent views."
It totally met our expectations. The owner came to check everything was OK which it was and was very welcoming. We had a great holiday but the weather was against us and the only respite from the rain was on day trips out. If we had to nitpick about anything it would be that the TV needs updating to a newer, larger model for the size of the room . It is not something that would bother us normally but with the weather being so wet we were more reliant on it during the evening.. A very small quibble, it was a great comfortable place to stay.

The property
Dornie 8.2 miles.
Rocky Mountain View Cottage is a spacious, detached cottage situated in the hamlet of Camusluinie near Dornie, Scotland.
Resting in a peaceful, rural location with only a handful of properties nearby, the area is unspoilt and a perfect base for a family seeking the great outdoors.
Approach the cottage via a single-track road with off-road parking for two, where panoramic views across the Glen of Elchaig and awe-inspiring mountains greet you.
The cottage sits picture-perfect against the countryside backdrop and upon entering, step into the spacious kitchen/diner; bright and airy, the kitchen is well-equipped for entertaining and preparing home-cooked meals to discuss the day's adventures around the dining table.
Double doors lead out to a large decking area with outdoor seating, perfect for dining alfresco on warmer evenings and making the most of the fantastic views.
After hiking mountains or wandering coastlines, the sitting room offers plush seating and a TV with a DVD player for a movie night to rest tired legs, or take some time during the day to curl up with a book.
Three bedrooms at Rocky Mountain View provide guests with quaint settings for getting ready and resting, with storage space to unpack your clothing, and pretty décor; choose from the ground-floor double, or the upstairs double and twin.
The ground floor also has a contemporary shower room for a hot, energising shower, whilst upstairs you will find the family bathroom for pleasant bubble baths.
Surrounding the cottage is a large, enclosed garden with a lawn for children and dogs to play safely and get plenty of fresh air.
Even though the cottage offers a peaceful alternative to the busy tourist spots, you are within reach of bustling villages and amenities; take a short drive into Dornie where you can stock up on the essentials in the village shop, have a delicious dinner in the local pub, or join one of the many trails that lead visitors to picturesque coastlines and mountain regions.
The gateway to the Isle of Skye, Kyle of Lochalsh lies east of Rocky Mountain View, where you can stop off at the impressive, 13th-century Eilean Donan Castle, as well as Lochalsh Woodland Walks for sheltered woodland along the shore.
Head into the village centre for a picnic at the viewpoint overlooking Skye Bridge.
Travelling a little further, Lochcarron is a pretty village of white-washed cottages surrounded by wildlife and tranquil scenery, where you can visit the nearby Attadale Gardens with ancient pathways winding through diverse landscapes, or have lunch in the village bistro before heading to the ruins of Strome Castle.
Whether you seek attractive villages or the wilds of Cape Wrath Trail and the majestic Falls of Glomach, Rocky Mountain View Cottage is an excellent choice for those wishing to explore the west coast of Scotland.

DORNIE
Kyle of Lochalsh 9 miles.
The picturesque village of Dornie sits amidst the stunning West Highland countryside, just nine miles from the bustling village of Kyle of Lochalsh. The village itself, a walker’s paradise, offers good amenities including a village shop, a local pub and numerous walking and cycling opportunities, with stunning views of the coastline and mountainous regions beyond to be enjoyed. Nearby Kyle of Lochalsh, known as the gateway to the Isle of Skye, offers a range of shops, hotels and restaurants and boasts a busy harbour that plays host to a variety of cargo, fishing and occasional passenger vessels. Nearby Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland's most famous and popular sights, is perched at the end of a stone causeway on the shores of Loch Duich, whilst further south is the Glenelg Peninsula, a tranquil backwater, which is beautiful, remote and relatively undiscovered. An easy drive north of Kyle is the charming village of Plockton, famous for its palm trees, yacht-filled bay and the nearby hamlet of Duirinish with Highland cattle which wander the streets! Alternatively, cross the Skye Bridge to Skye itself and explore all that the mystical Isle has to offer. EPC Rating: Band C. Short-term Holiday Let Licence No: HI-10026-F
