Lovely to have a herd of deer at the front and highland cows to the rear. Very nice to be able to stroll down to the loch, or continue on to the village. Garden nice and secure for the dog. I agree with a previous reviewer that the property really needs a tumble drier or at the least an indoor drying rack. The weather was not good when we stayed and, travelling with children, I needed to get a few items washed and dried. Please be aware when booking that this is in a pretty remote location. 8 miles to the nearest garage, over 40 miles to the nearest town and vets. I made the mistake when booking this of simply looking at the apparent proximity of places like Skye and Ullapool on the map, not considering for one minute that the roads to get there, meandering past lochs and over mountains meant that what would be a 30 minute journey where I live in Devon is a 90 minute one from Torridon.

Some of the âdecorative upgradesâ are inappropriate to the nature of the cottage. The large bedroom mirrors are especially inappropriate

Among them: -The bath has been replaced by a shower. A shower is desirable, but so is a bath. Surely both can be installed? -Last time there were beds for 5 people. Now there are four. Please bring back the twin beds in the second bedroom. -The double bed is too small. Replace it with a wider one please. -The push button front door lock needs adjusting so that it opens more easily without injuring one's knuckles.
