I did the new part of this route and can highly recommend it.
Samhach is the place to be when you enjoy silence and tranquility with all the comfort you need. Perfectly equipped kitchen, cosy living room with a wonderful fireplace, comfortable bed and a nice little bath. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda in the sun and having a barbecue in the garden. Inverness and Fort Augustus are within easy reach by car (app. 30 minutes) and there are countless outdoor activities nearby.
Jan and Paul are most amiable hosts, always friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
Have had the most perfect stay here. Lovely hosts, peaceful setting, cosy accommodation, breathtaking views and the perfect location for searching for Nessie with our 9 year old. Exploring by day, roasting ourselves by the log burner by night :) Bliss.
