A Cozy Cottage on a Beautiful Loch
We had a marvelous stay at the cottage! It is very warm and hospitable. The view of the loch is breathtaking! We walked to it nearly every day and even saw the northern lights! The cottage has everything you need for cooking. The beds are comfortable with ample pillows which was a huge bonus for us. The hosts are very attentive and checked up on us . It is within easy driving distance of many sites. Highly recommend!

Onich Cabin
Location was just like the photos. Beautiful views from the back deck. Rooms were clean and cozy. We didn’t realize the bedrooms and bath were upstairs so for those of us with stiff knees we were conscious of our goings up and down. This was one of 4 rentals on this trip and the home was well stocked with kitchen supplies and utensils which was great. Clear that the cabin has been lived in and not just a rental. Host was very helpful and responsive when we thought we were missing an iron. Had a wedding to attend. Undine was willing to deliver the morning of if needed. We found what we needed in a storage closet. Crisis averted. We arrived late in the evening so navigating in the dark with limited signs was a challenge. A helpful neighbor out walking his dog provided assistance. Overall a very pleasant and comfortable stay. Thanks for having us.

Exceeded already lofty expectations.
Stayed for a week here with our two young children. Absolutely loved it. Amazing view of the Loch and brilliant sized garden which the kids loved playing football in. As well as the odd water balloon fight! (We were very fortunate with the weather). The beds were very comfortable and we loved getting cosy with the fire on after longs days out exploring the area. So much to do, could have stayed longer and didn't want to leave! Great location only 20mins from Fort William. We did most of the local attractions e.g. The Jacobite, Ben Nevis distillery, Neptune's staircase, Nevis Range Mountain Experience, Steall Waterfall, Glencoe West Highland museum and various walks. Kids highlight (which we would recommend for something different) was the Pygmy goat walking at Darah Croft, Strontian. All in all, had a great week here. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again. Thank you! :)

Lovely cottage, excellent view of loch from living room, bedroom and bathroom. Bed was extremely comfortable. The drive down from the main road to the cottage has spectacular view. Lovely decking area to enjoy a wine and take in the surroundings. Great communication from owner Undine and a lovely touch of tin of shortbread waiting on us. Loved the log burner too. Would definitely recommend.

Very Nice Cottage & owners, Excellent Location
Firstly, thank you for allowing us the opportunity for me and my family to stay at your 'immaculately cleaned' and welcoming cottage. It perfectly located for exploring the surrounding areas. Cottage very 'generously' stocked with everyday use items. All home comforts provided. Owners themselves very nice friendly people who obviously take pride in what they do and go out of there way to ensure everything is just perfect. We missed nothing and hopefully we will be back! Once again Many Thanks.

Cosy & comfortable with amazing views.
What a wonderful place! The house is exactly as displayed; very clean & very well kept; well decorated & with everything you could possibly need. Undine’s communication from start to finish was excellent. Spot on directions and check-in could not have been easier. Unfortunately we couldn’t do too much exploring on foot as storm Ciara visited for our short stay. That said, looking out at that amazing view, from a warm and very comfy environment, when it was blowing a hoolie outside was quite memorable. Amazing waves! The only point I would note for future visitors is, if you’re tall (over 6’) just watch your head while on the stairs. It is marked but my son learned that the hard way! If you book this cottage, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Undine for sharing your home, we had a really great time and hope to return!

Stunning views
Driftwood is a lovely clean & comfortable cottage. The beds though firm actually have mattress toppers! The view from the lounge, double bedroom and bathroom windows are stunning. I have just one warning for anyone taking a small dog only part the garden has secure fencing. Our rather large yorkshire terrier escaped on the first day & ended up by the Loch, we blocked the bottom of the steps to the decking with our beach umbrella so at least he could sit outside & growl at the rabbits, oh how he would have loved to have chased them round the garden but it was not to be. The gardens all back onto each other & the bird life is abundant. WiFi & mobile reception was good all week.
