Fabulous week.
Fabulous week. Squirrel View was just perfect, clean, cosy, well equipped, very comfortable and in a quiet location. Handy to be within walking distance of the local hotel Balavil with a great select of whisky and tasty food. Also not far from the Coop to enjoy dinners in the comfort of the cabin.

What a fantastic place to stay, the welcome pack was brilliant didn't expect it but very much appreciated. It is sited in a fantastic place and very quiet apart from the local wildlife some mornings i.e. the sheep eating the grass and the ducks. Also in the garden we're squirrels pheasants and different types of birds. The local village is very nice with all the facilities you need, above the cottage is a local glen where we saw a rushing river and three buzzards. It is located in the right position to see all the local mountains glens lochs. The local osprey centre is fantastic and happy to see an osprey, then to see the raindear. Dolphins at Inverness, salmon at the falls of shin. If I was asked by anyone if it was worth it to stay there I would have no hesitation in saying definitely. To the owners a massive thank you.
