Lively remote property where you are definitely far from the crowds. Not easy run get to despite the instructions given but that’s due to the remoteness and not instructions being unclear. There’s space to breathe and beautiful view off the...

It was a beautiful home. I wish we were staying more than one night. Very clean, no heavy smells in the house or on the linens. Probably the most comfortable of our entire journey.

Beautiful cabin just out of Fort William. The cabin was clean and has everything we needed for an enjoyable stay for 6 people. I don’t think the photos do the place justice. Would highly recommend and wished we could have stayed longer!!

Absolutely everything about this property was incredible. The hosts were friendly and helpful with 3 beautiful dogs who enjoyed a stroke. It's an excellent base to climb Ben Nevis and only a short walk from a picturesque canal walk. Definitely...

Sleeping 6 people, Shepherd’s Rest is nestled between the River Lochy and the famous Caledonian Canal. Situated at Torcastle the property is accessed along a single track road, with a tunnel 20 Meters long (suitable for up to standard Transit van sized vehicles approximately 2 Meters high) under the Caledonian Canal . Situated 5 miles from Fort William in the Great Glen, you are ideally located to view Ben Nevis, explore Lochaber, try a variety of pursuits and see why Lochaber is called the “Outdoor Capital of the UK”. Three miles from the “Road to the Isles”, our location ensures good access to the west coast including Moidart, Ardnamurchan and ferry access to the Small Isles and Skye.The immediate area holds an abundance of wildlife and fauna such as Pine Marten, Red deer, Roe deer, Otter, Owls, Buzzard, Butterflies, Kingfisher and Orchid, mosses and lichens. Shepherd’s Rest is a 3 bedroom architect designed self-catering holiday house. The house is fully double glazed, under floor oil heating with radiators upstairs, supplemented by a wood burning stove in the living room.
We are in a rural location, no street lights or restaurants but only a 10 minute drive from Fort William so the best of both worlds.
