My sister and I stayed in #10 for a week while we toured various areas in the Highlands. The town is lovely and easy to reach via a short walk. Luis was very helpful in getting us situated in our cottage and showing us the charm of Highland Club. We toured the area by day and enjoyed quiet evenings 'at home" in front of the fire - a peaceful and relaxing visit!

We enjoyed our stay very much. House was clean and comfortable, although a measuring jug and working tin opener would have been helpful! The facilities were good but hard to get a game of snooker as often busy. Having to book swimming in advance is understandable but meant we missed one slot due to a longer walk than planned.

7 of us came in two cottages for a break between Christmas and New Year. We had a great time, cottages were lovely and Cosy with everything you need. Beautiful setting, we all used the facilities, booking the gym and pool was straight forward and a great sized pool for going with family. We will definitely be back.

We loved the cottage. Really quiet and peaceful place. A short walk to the loch and the touristic spot. A supermarket and coffee places on walking distance. Good swimming pool for our kids (5-6). Just a good place to stay!

Cottage 10 is exactly as advertised. Very comfortable and clean. Great location. The Abbey grounds are beautiful; walk into town is very nice. And the walk from the Abbey along the South Loch Ness Trial is wonderful! Also, great location for day trips west to Isle of Skye and north to Inverness and beyond.
