what our guests say
"it was excellent! The landscape, quietness, the house (is new), the owners were very friendly, the rooms are very clean and the beds are very comfortable.
The TV offers many, many free actual movies and full internet. The view was excellent as well, you can see a nice landscape and Loch Snizort.
In this situation we found the first shower where you were able to shower without flooding the bathroom → perfectly planned.
All in all, it was the best stay we’ve ever had in GB”.
