It has floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors at the southern end which lead out onto the balcony where there is a small table and chairs for you to enjoy your morning coffee.

The rest of the peninsula has much to offer, including a number of ’Corbett’ mountains, the stunning Loch Sunart, Ardnamurchan Lighthouse at the most westerly tip of the British Isles and the Ardmamurchan Distillery. There are pristine, sandy beaches along the coast, including Sanna Bay with its impressive white sand dunes and views across to Muck, Eigg and Rum.

Jul 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The best VRBO property we have used in the UK My wife & I stayed here for a week in June/July with plans to walk in the neighbouring countryside. The property was in immaculate condition and had everything we needed (including a hot-tub). It is indeed, an amazing construction (insulated with straw-bales) and gave us perfect privacy. The host was very welcoming and was on hand if we needed anything else. Top marks to him. He also had left details of over a dozen walks, with laminated instructions and maps. Just what we needed. This area of Scotland is off the beaten track and is well-worth visiting. We only lost one day to weather, but staying in the property made this a pleasure. ##### Mike M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022
