Creag Ghlas, Lochcarron

The cottage is available for occupation as from 4pm on the day of arrival.

We ask that you please vacate the property by no later than 10am on the day of departure.

These timings are to permit our housekeeper, who has a very tight schedule on Saturdays, sufficient time to clean and service the cottage between lets.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome at Creag Ghlas by prior arrangement.

We ask that you please ensure that your dog is not allowed on the furniture and will not cause any damage.

As children may be staying in the property and playing in the garden, we would be extremely grateful if you would please clean up after your dog.

This is a crofting area where sheep are reared, so it is important that dogs should be kept under control at all times.

For the benefit of other visitors to Creag Ghlas, we ask that you please refrain from smoking inside the property.

We reserve the right to levy an additional charge for extra cleaning and/or re-decoration if this request is ignored.
