Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Beautiful and well-maintained house with all necessary amenities. Great welcome and support provided by Angus the caretaker.

"My Husband & I were highly impressed by this beautifully decorated & presentable property, both in the inside & also in the beautifully kept garden areas with the added bonus of a veranda stretching the whole length of the property with stunning views of the surrounding mountains."
We also thoroughly enjoyed taking our morning coffee out on the lovely picnic table while enjoying such views & just listening to the birds in total peace & quiet! We were sorry to leave! We would especially like to mention Angus, the house keeper who was so welcoming to us when we arrived & such a gentleman, he was very helpful with any questions we had & the special touch of lovely shortbread & freshly cut flowers for us on arrival was very much appreciated. Many thanks again & we hope to return this beautiful property in the future, it has everything you would need for a great holiday.

"We could not have picked a week with more rainfall that this one."
What a difference a wonderful comfortable cottage with all amenities needed like Mullach Ruadh to make our stay one of the best. It was a family holiday so having a well maintained cottage beautifully furnished was just perfect. We would like to thank the owners for making their home available to us and Angus for his help and support throughout our stay. Of course the lovely shortbread was much appreciated too Angus. The cottage is in an ideal location and the ever changing weather created the chance to get some amazing photos of the beautiful view. The garden are also well maintained. We hope to be back sometime in the future.
Thank you for your kind comments. Hopefully, we can organize the weather better for next time. :). Really glad you were able to enjoy the comfort of our cottage.

"Mullach Ruadh is by far the best house we’ve ever stayed in."
Everything we could have needed and more, high quality kitchenware and amazing pillows (that I’m now buying for home!). Angus was lovely and the house was perfect for us, it’s a shame we couldn’t make full use of the garden due to weather but the views are stunning. Perfect location for exploring the surrounding area and quiet despite being on the main road and next to the railway line. Would love to visit again one day; my daughter was actually quite upset when she realised we had to leave!
Thank you so very much for your feedback. That means so much to us I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. You and your family will be more than welcome any time.

"We loved staying at Mullach Ruadh."
We were only here for a week but wished it was longer. There is everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. It’s very warm and inviting. The driveway is a bit of a challenge but not impossible. There’s plenty to see in the area and great that it’s walking distance to the viaduct, railway station and loch cruises. Good walks from the door. There aren’t any supermarkets or pubs nearby (hotel with bar next door) so you need to bring plenty of food supplies with you.
Excellent comments. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time in our wee cottage. With regards to groceries, Morrisons of Fort William have begun to deliver to the house. You can place an order for delivery through their website. Many thanks again!

"Amazing property in an incredibly beautiful part of the world."
It is the best equipped holiday house we have ever been to. It was cosy and warm and provided a perfect base to explore the local area. Angus greeted us on arrival and was incredibly friendly and helpful and the house was clean and beautifully presented. We would thoroughly recommend this property and area to everyone, particularly if you are Harry Potter fans but the area has something for everyone as there is so much beauty and history for everyone to enjoy. We visited the viaduct regularly to watch the train, enjoying the walk from the house through Glenfinnan station to make the most of the views of the loch. We took a boat trip on Loch Shiel and went for a swim in the loch on a quiet afternoon. We took the normal train to Mallaig, so we could travel over the viaduct, drove to Fort Augustus for lunch and a great view of Loch Ness, visited Foyer Falls on the east side of Loch Ness, some of our group climbed Ben Nevis one day and we all enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Ben Nevis Inn, we would recommend it all, all enjoyed through rain and sun, just a fantastic week, we would love to do it all again.
Thank you for a wonderful week.

We enjoyed watching the trains go past every day and although the cottage is off the main road, it is high up, so we didn't notice the traffic at all. The property is very well kitted out and the quality of everything is superb, high quality duvets, pillows, crockery etc. Angus, the caretaker, left a welcoming note, with shortbread and flowers and called in to check that everything was fine when we arrived. Whilst there are no shops in Glenfinnan, other than at the visitor centre, we had food delivered from the supermarket in Fort William and then picked up additional supplies when we were out and about. Would have no hesitation in returning, a fantastic place to stay.

"A beautiful property which has been designed and decorated very nicely."
It did the photos on the website justice and was a very welcoming experience when first walking in - let's face it some holiday lets leave a lot to be desired. A nice relaxing lounge with plenty of seating space plus the small snug area for the younger family to play games. The kitchen was well laid out with virtually every utensil possible and plenty of towels and tea towels etc . The beds, pillows and duvets were extremely comfortable and of good quality as were the lovely thick and soft towels. Everything seemed to have been thought about and provided - from cleaning cloths in the kitchen down to face wipes in the bathrooms.
If we had any negative point to make it would be the lack of clothes hanging space in one of the bedrooms - it just had drawers. This is a very minor criticism in what was otherwise a perfect and lovely place to stay. Would highly recommend

"Mullach Ruadh is a beautiful holiday house for enjoying family time together."
It's one of the best-equipped houses we have ever stayed in. The fresh flowers, wine, and chocolates were a lovely welcome treat and very much appreciated. So was the bag of ice in the freezer. The house is perfectly positioned for many stunning local walks and it was fun to wave at the steam train passengers from the windows at the back of the house. Our kids loved it when the passengers waved back! The log stove was a highlight in the evenings when we snuggled up for our movie nights. A top quality house in a superb location. Stunning.

Just would like to thank the owner of the property for having such a comfortable and high standard of rental property. The house was more than we expected, in fact it was well above expectations. Clean, efficient, and well stocked for all weathers.
The property was well maintained, with all of the best of equipment from washing machine to heating. The housekeeper made it especially welcoming with a bottle of wine and some shortcake. After our group came direct from New York and Vancouver, and then driving from Edinburgh and getting to the property late at night, it was so welcoming to find a home we were very comfortable in and found to be very friendly to guests.
Thank you, and I will be sending an email to the owner to thank him personally for allowing us to use his beautiful home...
