We only had a brief stay but everything was wonderful. Shepherds Rest is quaintly tucked away to offer peace. I loved the 3 black labs, leaving rock gifts on the patio daily. Our host was very lovely and accomodating. If we make it back to Ft William, this is where we want to be.

Our family enjoyed the house and the owner's dogs that were very friendly. The owner was helpful and kind. Getting to the house involved navigating a small tunnel that was a bit tricky.

The place was wonderful! The hosts' son greeted us and made us feel welcome. The house was comfortable and cozy. The three bedrooms worked nicely for our family. The view of Ben Nevis was amazing. We walked to the river nearby and enjoyed petting the dogs. We'd recommend this place for sure.

Beautiful location and charming cottage
We loved our week at Shepherds rest! Ilona was lovely and answered questions quickly and was so good to check in periodically. The house was clean and comfortable. The scariest part of the stay was driving through the tunnel when coming and going but we were driving a 9 passenger van so a small car would have no problems at all. There are beautiful walks right outside the door and it was peaceful and quiet. Lovely place to stay!

Sheperds Rest
We enjoyed our short stay! We arrived a bit late and had to leave fairly early. Ilona greeted us and there was no real check in process other than walking in and picking our bedrooms. It is at the end of a private road but Ilona's directions were very clear. The property is spacious with large bedrooms, kitchen and living room. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of hot water for our morning showers. Sheperds Rest was wonderful!

Highlight of our vacation
The Shepherds Rest was our favorite stay during our 2 week vacation to Ireland and Scotland. Very spacious, clean and welcoming. Especially loved our greeting of the black labs, so cute!! It was an adventure getting to the place, but our family loves adventures and it was well worth it. Would definitely stay again.

Great vacation spot
It was a really great spot for two families vacationing together. Nice common room size and a good bedroom setup. We even got a visit from the owner’s lovely labs! The only thing to be aware of is the tunnel coming into the property. It’s mentioned so it wasn’t a secret but it was a little nerve wracking since we were in a van. So just something to be aware of with car selection.
