    The pods were adorable. Not too much space, but it is a pod, so to be expected. The hosts did a great job setting it up, and it was a nice find.

    We really loved staying in our Shieling. It was really cozy and a wonderful place to stay. The hosts were really kind, accommodating, and great to chat with. We would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again!

The world famous Ben Nevis Distillery is a three minute walk away - no worries about driving! M& S is just upthe road a short distance next to Aldi and Home bargains for all your shopping needs .Buses to and from Fort William and those going to Skye and Inverness stop for you literally at the bottom of our drive .
