The Wee Highland Shack.

Compact, cosy, bijou, romantic, fantastic views, great setting, no room to swing a cat - we think that these are all great descriptions of our chalet. It is definitely small ( 4m by 3m) but we love it and think that it is a great place for a cosy stay as long as lots of space is not high on your priorities! The chalet has a double bed, its own wee toilet and shower, parking right in front, T.V, tea and coffee making facilities and a little fridge. Wifi,, Spotify and Netflix are all available.
