Richard T.

Amazing views and home comforts.

This is a really special location and a bonus for train lovers is watching the trains speed through. The books on railways were a real treat and enjoyed browsing through them. Catching the night sleeper from London to Inverness was the best way to arrive. Really no need for a car as everything is to hand in Newtonmore which is a really interesting town. Loads of walking opportunities make for deep relaxation; just wish we could have stayed for longer. We had a lovely warm welcome from Isla the owner who really made our stay special. Would love to come back one day soon.
