Delightful place. On arrival, fresh flowers, a cake and a bottle of wine. The house was warm and comfortable, the location excellent. Did day trips to Glen Affric and the like. The little cafe down the hill Cafe 82 makes fantastic food and actually has good coffee. Discovered that one a bit late Due to a bit of movement, the door locks can be slightly annoying. Try lifting the door a bit - let turns easily then. Really pleasant stay. Lovely sunny days, had an aurora one evening and the birds were just coming out after the winter. Peaceful, relaxing and a stone's throw from shops when you discover you need an ingredient. Can't recommend highly enough.
It always delivers this delightful cottage. With good views due it's good location. We will return.
We had a lovey stay at Strone. The spotless cottage is really well located and very comfortable. It has a very well equipped kitchen and everything else we needed (including a handy airing cupboard for drying off wet boots). We also appreciated the welcome package of milk and cake and wine!). We did a lot of walking around Glen Affric and Glen Cannich and south of Loch Ness. Supermarket shopping is available in nearby Drumnadrochit and very good fish and chips in Fort Augustus after a nice walk along the canal and lochs. We'd definitely recommend it and would come again.
I stayed in Strone at a lovely property managed by Wilderness Cottages, with three friends from London. We were only there for three nights but it was the most fantastic stay, with so many activities in easy driving distance - and the cottage was a perfect base, equipped with all the utensils and furnishings we could possibly want. We were even gifted a cake and a bottle of wine! The price was really competitive and the service was just above and beyond. Will definitely think of Wilderness Cottages if I visit this part of Scotland again.
The cottage was in a excellent location, absolutely spectacular veiws of Loch Ness. Perfect for a relaxing holiday.
