    The location is great with forest walks and river right beside the house. The house was comfortable and cozy once we lit the fire and the heating kicked in . The conservatory was a lovely place to sit and enjoy the quiet woodland setting - when...

It is tranquil, peaceful location. You can hear the river running from the mountain gurgling through the Glen which is near to the bottom of the garden. Abundance of wildlife including birds singing. Walks from the doorstep, you dont need transport, just take your picnic and walk. 5 mins walk you are at the garden centre and cafe. everything you need for a relaxing holiday.
I try to help people whenever I can. Peace, tranquility is a special quality which I search out for. I hand knit garments for other people. I have tried to create a special holiday haven for visitors so they can relax and enjoy and return home with wonderful memories of their holiday.
Glen Coe, Fort William, Oban, Drumnadrochit, Inverness - all of these places are a must to visit. Look out for the Loch Ness Monster - does it exist or is it a Scottish Myth. Does the witches grave still exist outside St John's churchyard or was it removed when they built the new road? Does the Glen Coe half man and half beast legend still remain a mystery or did he really happen. Find out more by staying at the cottage.
