The Old Post Office
For two, with one bedroom, firewood and room for the dog.
The Old Post Office is a stone cottage above the shore of Loch a' Choire, with a big lawn in front where the deer often come to graze.
It's cosy and full of colour, with a red sitting room, a wood-burning stove and glass doors that open onto a patio facing the loch and the hills. It sleeps two, all on one level, with a bath and overhead shower, and underfloor heating. Pine martens are regular visitors. The estate's Boathouse Restaurant is close by for dinner, and up to two dogs are welcome.
Otters in the bay, stags on the lawn and eagles overhead. Simply stunning!
