Just perfect location, lovely cottage, stunning views. Ideal base for touring, we visited Fort William and took the gondola up the mountain. Also visited The Isle Of Skye, all under three hours travelling, planning my next visit.

La casa es perfecta, muy cómoda con una chimenea y una sala de estar marvillosa; ducharse mientras ves el lago Ness es una gozada. Está muy bien ubicada para visitar la zona. La recomendamos totalmente. Un grupo de amigas de España.

The Cottage was lovely and homely, very well equipped and well furnished with stunning views. You do need a good car though to negotiate the steep hill up to it,but the views are well worth it. The BBQ was a great touch too and i would recommend taking some fold up chairs to sit outside for any length of time. We will definitely go back.

We loved everything about it!! Kati (the owner) was there to meet us with a roaring fire in the fire place the day we arrived. She was even kind enough to bring her own grill around to the cottage so we could cook-out on the grill. We would recommend Boxy's Croft to all of our friends :) We had an amazing vacation and loved staying there!!
