"We had a fantastic week at Rowanhill Cottage. The place was clean and tidy and in such a beautiful location. The fishing wasn't the best due to the sun splitting the sky for the full week but plenty of trout were caught and we also saw some magnificent wildlife including otters and sea eagles.
Great place and great accommodation. Hoping to be back again next year".
"We had a lovely holiday at Rowanhill and hope to return again in the not too distant future. The cottage was really comfortable and so well equipped - very homely. We explored much of the area, and although the weather was mixed, were able to take in the beautiful landscapes and scenery of Ardnamurchan and it's surroundings. We would love to visit again in a different season".
