We enjoyed a superb 4 night stay over New Year period. The house is seriously geared towards social interaction with the superb large kitchen / dining area located down a few stairs from the comfortable sitting room allowing for flowing ambience. The house is spacious, comfortable and homely. In fact one family member arrived for a visit and was so struck with the place they announced they wanted to move in! The view from the master bedroom balcony is priceless. The bathrooms are perfect. The kitchen lacks for nothing. We will definitely be back. Cheers Josh! ##### J M.

Property was immaculate and had everything we needed. Perfect location for water sports on the Loch. Weather was glorious so it was lovely to spend evening having a quiet drink on balcony. We had to cut the second week short due to unforseen circumstances so we hope to return again for longer. Josh was a very helpful and attentive host. Can't ask for more in a holiday let. ##### Rachel R.
