Lovely cottage in beautiful countryside

skibunny2008 Manchester
Review Submitted: February 8, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2008
We've stayed several times in this lovely property and will certainly be back for more. Warm, cosy and comfortable with amazing views - I will never forget waking up on our first morning here and seeing clouds on the mountain through the picture window on the upstairs hallway. It was like being in an aeroplane! The garden is an added bonus, always full of birdsong, and when the sun comes out the patio is a great place to sit. At the right time of year you can also help yourself to blackcurrants. Ideally located, an easy drive to beach, skiing and some great walks. Walking distance to a great restaurant (The Holly Tree), and a quick drive to shops, and yet you're right in the heart of some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK. Stay here - you definitely won't be disappointed!
Owner's Response: Thanks for your lovely review. We hope you will enjoy your visit this year just as much if not more.

Fantastic

Review Submitted: March 25, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
Hi,

We stayed at Lorien for two years running.

Had a great time, there's lots to do, mountain biking in the forests nearby, fishing in the loch and just chilling out on the nearby beach.

The house is well looked after and has everything you require, just like being at home; especially when you can take your dog.

Excellent place for a full family holiday

DeivisR Romford, Essex
Review Submitted: January 7, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
First of all thanks to the owner for such service prior to getting to the place, really helpfull and accurate. When we got there we found the place really well maintained, and cared for. The location is excellent if you have own transport because everything is not more than two hours drive away (places of interest like Loch Ness, Inverrary prison museum, marine life sanctuary and etc.). Since we went there winter time, great location for a skiing holiday though please check the weather before you go since the snow is not allways there to ski on. But never the less there is enough to do there without skiing. There is plenty of local pubs and restaurants to gout out and have something to eat or drink if you would want. Definatly it was not the last time i visit the Highlands of Scotland and would recomend it to anyone who loves to have a great rest without having to leave the country.

Family had a brilliant time

rob06 merseyside
Review Submitted: November 22, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
We've just back from our trip and feel the need to post a quick review! The house itself was lovely- inside and had all the facilities you would expect and the garden is kept immaculately. Our little ones (age 5 and 7) won't be
parted from their two dogs, so it was refreshing to find out the owners were happy to allow pets to come along free of charge..

Was wonderful being able to look out of the window onto an amazing view (and see sheep happily munching away opposite the house). Much of our stay there was spent walking around taking in all the lovely scenery - beach, mountains and countryside all in the same place!

You really need a car to get around, but once mobile there are lots of things to do within a half hour's drive. We took the children to the sealife centre, which was a fun day out, although we did have to explain to the youngest that, no, she couldn't take a seal home with her!

Had a sightseeing trip to Ben Nevis and snapped a lot of pictures (hurrah for cheap memory cards) and popped into the Ben Nevis Inn on the way back - great food and really friendly staff. We didn't get to the ski centre this time, but that's on
our list for a later visit.

Overall, fantastic way to escape for a week. Definitely recommended!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay.
