    It wasn't that easy to find - I think the postal address was on the website rather than the street that the entrance was on.

    Clean, warm and had everything we needed. Lovely big bathroom. Location next to the loch was beautiful. It wasn't posh or elegant, but rocked our boxes.

    Not many instructions, where to find bedding for second bed, wifi password Window was open in bathroom when we left and owner rang to say we would be charged if it were broken, he drove past and noticed it open! He could have just gone up and closed it, pretty sure it was open when we got there!! No outside area to sit Not correct details to find the place had to message for instructions No television Fridge not very cold No freezer

    Nice roomy apartment nice location good for a stop over before back to Edinburgh Good kitchen Good bathroom Good king size bed

    Facilities were a little tired. Would have been nice to have a TV and wifi. Was a bit difficult to find in the dark so making it clearer on instructions would have helped.

    All the basics covered. No frills but perfectly fine for an overnight stay.

    The shower door wouldn’t shut properly. I didn’t like the mop left in the bathroom. Otherwise okay.

    The location was good. The views of the mountains and the sea were lovely. The rooms were basic, but had all we needed. The bed and sofa bed were very comfortable and the water hot. A good price considering we had two separate rooms for sleeping.

    Location is way away from anywhere you want to go. Takeaway and supermarket near by but that's all. No wifi (which to be fair is stated in the booking info - but not so it stands out), no TV, no radio - nothing to entertain you. Info about location and how to get key was emailed same day as arrival. Not much use for those who have no internet access whilst on the road. Telephone reception with contact very bad so hard to get details. Room badly in need of basic maintenance. Kitchen cupboard falling apart. Whole place needs minor repairs to the walls and then painting. Bathroom clean and large, but shower door sticks and needs a strong shove to close (makes you think you will break it before it moves). Needs painting. No towel racks. Bed to close to floor making it hard to get in and out. No bedside tables (probably as so little room at side of bed. Bed head makes it very hard to open and close curtains. Main curtains keep out most morning light but side window keeps very little light out (and the morning sun comes from that side). Roof slants on one side of bed so you hit your head getting in and out (due to lack of space at side of the bed). Cutlery and microwave in kitchen along with washing up liquid. At least one chairs in kitchen falling apart and unsafe to use. View from kitchen was straight into neighbours house. View from bedroom was of the mountains but as said earlier hard to open curtains. Stairs up to flat look grubby and need to be taken with care.

    Nothing. Awful.

    Very basic but decent enough on a budget

    Lack of simple things like coat hooks, towel rails, bottle openers, tin opener, tea towels where a bit inconvenient. Had I paid more attention to the photos and description I would have seen that there was no oven but I had assumed a self catering apartment would have had one. Didn't have a TV, hair dryer or oven which seem like basics for self catering accommodation. 3 nights of trying to microwave dinners for two soon got tedious. Shower door hanging off and doesn't close properly which according to other reviews hasn't been fixed for over a year. Overall cleanliness could be better. Windows all seemed to be temperamental to use. Host very responsive to queries but responses lacked helpfulness for example, asking where is best to park and being told outside the apartment, to which there is a back, front and side. Ended up parking by the shops.

    Location to places that we wanted to visit was very good. The bed was wonderfully comfortable. It was clean where it was important to be. Overall, the apartment was very spacious. Communication prior to arrival was good in regards to gaining access/checking in. Great views of the mountains and lovely being so close to Loch Linnhe, which also has the boat wreck.

    The property was very basic, shabby furniture, shower doors were broken and there was nowhere to hang anything, not even a towel rail.

    Location was generally good but there was rubbish around the outside of property from shop below. Nice views over the mountains and the Loch.
