The hosts were excellent, very friendly and welcoming. Thankyou. The view from our room was beautiful. The bed was very comfy and the room was spotless and had everything you need, including an amazing view. We were very grateful for a packed lunch breakfast before we climbed Ben Nevis. We would definitely recommend. Thankyou!
