“This cottage was perfect, and had all amenities and even logs and coal were provided.”
The owners live next door, but were never in our faces, they welcomed us, and gave us some info on the area. They said we could knock any time if we needed any help, which we did the very next morning, as my boyfriend woke up with a bad neck, and we had no pain killers, and local shop didn't open until 11am, and nearest town is 40 miles away. They kindly gave us some painkillers and deep heat. We were so grateful. The cottage really is quite remote, so when you first arrive bring the basics of ...
The owners live next door, but were never in our faces, they welcomed us, and gave us some info on the area. They said we could knock any time if we needed any help, which we did the very next morning, as my boyfriend woke up with a bad neck, and we had no pain killers, and local shop didn't open until 11am, and nearest town is 40 miles away. They kindly gave us some painkillers and deep heat. We were so grateful. The cottage really is quite remote, so when you first arrive bring the basics of your shopping with you. There is a small shop a couple of miles away by Lochaline Ferry port, but they stock limited goods, and they open from 9 till 6 during the week, and I believe 11 till 2pm on Sunday. There is also a small post office in the shop, there is a hotel up the road, doctors surgery, and a restaurant, but it wasn't opened when we were here, it opens from Easter. To get to Lochaline, the last 18 miles are single track road, but there are plenty of passing places. There are also little roads leading off the main track, and we decided to drive down some of them, and they all seem to lead somewhere hidden, Lochs, beautiful views, wildlife, ans one coastal treck brought us out to a bistro, in a tiny village. We enjoyed every minute of the holiday, and was sad to be going home.
