The Carriage - a shepherd's hut that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom
This Carriage is located on the outskirts of Fort William and commands striking views of Loch Eil and the surrounding mountains. This is the ideal base for a couple looking for a rural retreat. This Shepherds Hut boasts a traditional look and feel with a modern high spec finish on the inside. Climb the wooden steps and you are welcomed into a modern open plan living space. You enter to the kitchen which is fully equipped for self catering. The living space has a sofa and a smart TV for your entertainment. Beyond the comfortable double bed there is a modern and spacious shower room.
Outside you can enjoy the patio area with a drink or some food while you enjoy the stunning Loch and Mountain views. Maybe even get a great shot of the passing Jacobite Express steam train.
