On this floor there is also a beautifully decorated single bedroom, a shower room with WC and a lovely sunroom with table and chairs to enjoy the woodland scenery. Upstairs there are two more bedrooms, a double and a twin, both with homely country decor, as well as a main bathroom which includes a shower over the bath and a WC.

Swallow Cottage was absolutely lovely! The cottage was warm, comfortable and well equipped. Tomich was a great location as a base for munro bagging in Glen Affric, Kintail and beyond. There are delightful local walks too. Also, the local pub and cafe are welcome options to have available so nearby. We had a wonderful holiday!

Fantastic 2 weeks, even the weather was great. The cottage was lovely and well equiped. It was so peaceful and relaxing. There's plenty of places to walk but make sure you stock up on food as the pub meals were expensive but not worth the cost.

Loved this cottage. Lovely location and plenty of walks from the door or a short drive. It's nice having the hotel and bar across the road as you can enjoy a drink or a meal and meet different people. Lovely conservation village and very interesting history of the estate. Would definitely go back to walk more of the tracks that we missed.

We love the area and the cottage was perfect for us. We ate in most night as it is more remote but that suits us. Warm and comfortable

The windows don't shut properly, as one of the nights we were there was windy and very cold, we hardly could get it warm inside. As for the rest: it's a lovely house.

Really great cottage with everything that you need. The location was great and made a good base for exploring. The kitchen had everything that we needed and all modern. The main bedroom was lovely and so were the other rooms. If you are tall (over 6ft) you might struggle upstairs. Overall it was a great stay. Note: there is no phone signal but greaRead moret wifi. Make sure you also have a food delivery for when you arrive. Hide

The cottage is great and well equipped and it is really comfortable. Great walks. Sad to see the cafe has closed and the hotel is ordinary without charging ordinary prices. Please take your own wine and food otherwise if you eat out it is both disappointing and irrationally expensive.

We absolutely loved this beautiful, clean and cosy cottage. Everything has been well thought out by the owners to make it a special stay. I took my elderly Nan who has reduced mobility and the downstairs bathroom and bedroom were perfect for her. Location is remote however surrounded by beautiful walks and views. We cannot wait to book again!

A very well equipped and comfortable cottage with everything we needed for self catering. Good walks from the doorstep without having to drive anywhere. Plodda falls is a must especially when it's frozen!! The cottage was spotlessly clean and the caretaker gave us a good welcome and imparted her local knowledge to us. Thank you.

Beautiful cottage in an amazing location. Swallow has lots to offer and we find it the ideal stay for our family. Lovely cosy living room and dine in kitchen. Its a shame that bedding and towels are still not included post Covid but it doesnt put us off booking. If youre looking for self catering in the highlands this is the perfect spot.
