    Moness Group - Typical dining area, very similar to what we had.

    We stayed in the hotel in the cedar suite for dinner bed and breakfast on a groupon deal. First of…read moreall we paid the uplift to the suite and it was worth every penny. The room. A massive king size wooden bed firm mattress and lovely windows looking out over the grounds. The bathroom had a classic and massive Victorian roll top bath easily big enough for 2. The downsides. The tv/entertainment system was worse than useless not even full council telly tiny TV and picture quality sucked. The WiFi was non existent in the room although available elsewhere. The room could do with a lick of paint and maybe a redesign the lack of plugs around the mirror caused a few issues. The restaurant this is where I wish I could leave 2 reviews. They both made and destroyed the visit. Dinner was lovely although the hidden £27 limit that you pay for anything over and above not quite the 3 courses advertised. The food was amazingly good bit portion sizes could easily be doubled. Breakfast this dragged down the whole stay. The definition of a full Scottish breakfast should he shown to the kitchen the food was not pleasant and badly cooked. No square sausage and some weird excuse for a tattie scone. The inclusive spa use was nice with a lovely pool, hot tub, steam rooms and sauna. Good opening hours and very well maintained. Just to be clear that the room was amazing and worth every penny but the little bits that would make the stay perfect let it down. The restaurant need to reassess their breakfast asap and increase dinner portions.

    I stayed in the one of the Moness cottages for two nights with a bunch of girls in November and it…read morewas great! I had managed to snap up a voucher deal for a cottage, £129 for a Friday/Saturday stay. The cottage slept 6 people, two twin rooms upstairs, one ensuite and a double sofa bed downstairs. Accommodation is meant to be 4 stars, but I've stayed in better 4 star places, however it was clean, basic. The are 3 toilets in total and an open plan kitchen/lounge/dining area, with everything you could really need. Heating was charged extra, however it was very inexpensive, only £7 for the weekend. The location is perfect, right next to Aberfeldy and the waterfalls. There are so many beautiful places to walk and a cute selection of art galleries and couple of old man pubs in the village. Only a 10 minute walk away.

    Jacobite Steam Train - Cute little Harry Potter shop in Mallaig.

    If you're a Harry Potter fan, this is a must. You don't sit in closed private compartments but…read moreit's a relaxing ride to Mallaig. There you can find a cute little shop called Haggard Alley for all things Harry Potter. Not only do you go over the famous viaduct but you'll also pass the island where scenes were filmed and Dumbledore's grave. A very relaxing day trip.

    Worth it. Totally worth it. Especially true if you're a Harry Potter fan as I am, but even if not,…read morethe scenery alone is majestic. There's plenty of info out there on how to book, routes, etc, so I won't go into that here. Tips I'll share: 1) book early - don't even think about trying to arrange this the night before. 2) don't do first class - while it's more comfy and usually our type of travel, we booked on one of the cars toward the back. That way you can see and video/snap pics of the front of the train as it goes over the viaduct. Makes you think lightening struck your forehead. 3) sit on the left side - if you're in the car facing to the front of the train, make sure your seat is on the left side. A much better view of the train going over the viaduct. 4) drink a beer or wine - even if it's 9:30 in the morning, which it was for us, have a brewskie...you're on vacation. 5) eat fast in Mallaig - don't spend a lot of time choosing restaurants. Pick a place the night before. When you arrive at Mallaig, run your happy bum to the restaurant you chose, order (and don't even try to get starters first then mains) and eat. You can take pics afterwards. Restaurants there are small, get slammed with each Twain's arrival, plus the local tourists who come by car. Hope this helps!

    It's our third time here in the area, but we've never been to the Visitors Centre. Needed a lunch…read morebreak and the Centre was really just around the corner. There's plenty of parking, mostly under trees providing nice shade on hot summer days. NT members park free, for all others a fee applies, which was fair enough. It's a very nice visitors centre, providing lots of information. A shop, a restaurant, public toilets. Dogs welcome as well. There are some nice picnic tables outside, with breathtaking views over the Glen. We enjoyed our lunch there. What a location! Then there's the Turf House on site as well. Also several trails and paths to enjoy a little walk around the area. A really nice stop, worth spending some time here.

Glencoes name…read moretranslate to "Valley of Tears" and it may be the gloomy weather and gray skies but it has a sad charm to it. If you are a fan of James Bond this is where he stopped his DB5 in Skyfall. There's some iconic stops at Glencoe and I think once I found the name out I felt like drinking scotch while listening to The Cure and Morrisey. The Visitors Centre has a huge parking lot and a cafe and coffee. There aren't a lot of food options so you may be forced to eat here, it's OK and not stunning. Kids got a hotdog and I liked how all the topping were separate, chips were OK with it. Another good reason to stop here are the public bathrooms. Outside they have a recreation of a traditional house built by locals. I loved this so much and maybe i was in a drinking mood but I could imagine sitting in one of those in a cold and rainy day and enjoying a heavy single malt scotch. There are also some small streams and water the kids liked throwing rocks into.
