This is a wonderful property in an amazing location. We chose Rhumhor to celebrate husbands 50th birthday and were not disappointed. The property is extremely comfortable and very well equipped with air fryer, nespresso and dolce gusto coffee pod machines, plenty of fridge/ freezer space and washing machine. Loved having the pool table and the optiRead moreon of the hot tub.We were blessed with fabulous weather and enjoyed sitting out for coffee by the loch. Big thanks to brilliant hosts Emma and Euan.

I celebrated my 30th birthday here with a small group of friends and the location and property were absolutely perfect, with everything you could ever need! The hosts were very helpful and provided all the info we would need and recommended some gorgeous walks. The location is truly breathtaking and I couldnt recommend the property more.

A beautiful house and location, but the kitchen is not suitable for the house. We are a family of 9 who love to eat and cook together and there was no storage for food and no work space to cook. The kitchen sink is too small to wash most dishes. Cupboard space is needed for food storage also
