What you should know…
- One of the bedrooms is located on the ground floor and so this may be bestter suited to grandparents looking for a bit of peace and quiet from the rest of the group rather than small children!
- While amenities and attractions are reachable on foot and by ferry, we recommend having access to a car in order to fully explore the surrounding area
This home is a part of our Great Value and Heritage Collection!
This is a historic home, and as such:
- It has probably been standing for over 100 years, which means it's full of historic value and charm but it may also have one or two quirks!
- Some of the decor and furnishings may not be brand new, but that should not detract from your holiday experience in this unique setting that allows you to take a step back in time!

What a fabulous House!
Wow! We had the best family gathering -18 adults and two dogs. The location is perfect with views across to Kerrera and Mull. The owner - Kate - helped with little details and left us bottles of wine to share. She also recommended a local Chef - Michael- delicious food. The only downside - it was too hot, as a lot of the windows did not open, most unusual of course for the Highlands! I highly recommend this house in the Highlands
