Description
The accommodation is of a high standard and has achieved the 5-star grading of VisitScotland.
Waiting for you on arrival will be warm scones, fruit jam, marmalade, wine, and organic bread and more can be ordered for later in the week. The owners provide all necessities such as dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, liquid soap and liquid for washing machines, all by Ecover. They also kindly provide fabulous, locally hand made soaps. Please don't bring your own chemicals as it will upset the delicate nature of the septic tank and soak-away. Washing-up brushes, scourers, cloths, tea towels and aprons are all provided, along with bathroom and hot-tub towels.
Also provided: re-cycled Fairtrade loo paper, kitchen roll, tissues and degradable bin liners. In addition the kitchen will have salt, black pepper, Fairtrade tea, ground coffee and sugar.
Pet friendly information: Dogs not allowed in the bedrooms or on soft furnishings. Age and breed need to be given at the time of booking / Extra charges may apply
Room specifications
Bedrooms - There are two double bedrooms and two twin bedrooms. The double rooms have king-size beds and both twin rooms can be turned into super king-size zip and link doubles. One of the twin rooms also has bunk-beds and there are two (possibly three) additional single beds which can be added anywhere. Each extra bed space above 8 costs £50 per bed aged child and £20 per cot aged child. Please request at the time of booking. There are large goose-down duvets (synthetic are available), extremely comfortable mattresses and no sofa-beds, so everyone should get a good night’s sleep.
Bathrooms All four bedrooms are en-suite, fully tiled with underfloor heating and are stocked with huge fluffy towels, soaps and loo paper. There is a huge double ended bath and a shower in one and the others have showers with the downstairs having a wet room suitable for wheelchair users.
The kitchen is superbly equipped for those who like to cook. There’s both an Aga and Neff oven, along with an induction hob, Magimix food-processor, hand held electric whisk, plenty of saucepans (including big ones) and sharp knives.
The house has been designed so whoever is cooking is not excluded from what’s going on in the main living area. It is warm, well insulated, has underfloor-heating, a large wood-burning stove and as much wood and kindling as you need. There is lots of space in the enormous sitting/dining room with free wireless broadband, a TV, DVD and CD player. The large sun room has spectacular views across the valley to the hills, gives access to the hot tub and is stocked with books, DVD’s, puzzles and board games.
For guests with children - owners can provide cots, highchairs, toys, games and books. There are DVD's for little ones and an unsupervised trampoline.
There’s a large drying room in the porch area for wet clothes and boots. Well behaved dogs are welcome by arrangement and with care, the owners insist they sleep in the indoor porch area and they are not allowed upstairs, in bedrooms or on soft furnishings.
The Hot Tub and Patio There is a barbecue which runs on wood or, if you prefer to bring your own, charcoal. An enormous table and chairs face up the glen to the spectacular mountain view of Sgurr Dhonaild and is very private. The hot tub is for the exclusive use of guests staying at the House or neighbouring holiday cottage.
