    “It would be more helpful to find the place if the address was listed properly as Eilean HOUSE/Loch Achilty Holiday Cottages not Eilean Cottage in the information sent to you as we went ages along the road looking for Eilean Cottage.”

    It seems we are not the first this has happened to from others reviews. Also that you need to constantly buy bottled water as no fresh water to the property and nearest supermarket shop for big 5L bottles is some distance and a drive away. We weren't informed of this until after we'd already arrived and with children and a dog in tow it's an added expense/hassle. Unsure whether it was the mattress on the double bed or the bed frame itself was broken but my husband and l kept rolling into the ...

    It seems we are not the first this has happened to from others reviews. Also that you need to constantly buy bottled water as no fresh water to the property and nearest supermarket shop for big 5L bottles is some distance and a drive away. We weren't informed of this until after we'd already arrived and with children and a dog in tow it's an added expense/hassle. Unsure whether it was the mattress on the double bed or the bed frame itself was broken but my husband and l kept rolling into the middle in a big dip every night. It was really uncomfortable and gave us a bad back. The description and photos of the listing made it seem like we had the loch and boats literally outside the cottage and you could sit out and see it on a morning/evening when in actual fact there's a big untidy hedge/weeds in front of the cottage then the road before you can see/get over to the Loch. The grounds outside the cottage is shared alongside another cottage and also a house which was quite private but the owners dog, who was lovely and friendly, kept being let out loose to roam and trying to get into our cottage which set our own dog off barking and being protective. We had to shut our curtains and take the dog back over personally a few times. We love dogs but ours can be funny with others at times and not everyone likes dogs or wants them jumping up at them. Maybe a little more storage in the bathroom too as nowhere to hang/put towels and any toiletries really. Lots of nice walks and interesting places to visit around about, the owner and people we met were nice and friendly so no issues there and the cottage itself was clean and adequate for the purposes we needed it for as a base and to relax, we would come back again but a new bed/mattress would definitely go a long way for a decent night's sleep for future visitors.

About the location

STRATHPEFFER

Inverness 20 miles.

Often compared to a Bavarian Mountain resort, the picturesque spa village of Strathpeffer owes its growth to the discovery of water springs during the 1700s, and was declared in 1819 to be the healthiest drinking water in Britain! The original Spa Pavilion has been magnificently restored after a period of disuse and now serves as a venue for a variety of events, including concerts, dances, dramas and exhibitions. The former Victorian railway station, which in times past brought many visitors from near and far, has now been beautifully restored to house craft workers and their shops, and is also home to the Highland Museum of Childhood. Visit the restored Pump house (also a Tourist Information point), take a walk along a forest track, or enjoy the views from the nearby pictish hill fort at Knockfarrel. Whatever you decide there's plenty on offer for all the family.
