Overlooking Sandaig (Gavin Maxwell's 'Camusfearna')
There are a few travelling shops; the mobile
bank
calls weekly. Mr Murdo Macrae, who
lives next
door, is a source of information
about the cottage
and how it works, as well
as the area . A local
friend, David Lee, lives
200 yards from the cottage
and is also
available if any problems arise.
Visitors receive our own booklets, "Welcome to
John Fisher's Cottage" and "Kintail & Wester Ross"
(on the area). Our noticeboard in the cottage has
full information about the neighbourhood, public
services and emergency help.
Fuel is included in the price. Solid fuel fires are not available. Water come from the local burn (through pipes, not by pails!). We enjoy its taste and we have never had any problems with it (Murdo Macrae has drunk it for 85 years and is very young for his age), but if you are concerned, use bottled water.
A z-bed is available for a child if needed. We also have some baby facilities (including a cot). Each bed has two pillows and a duvet; visitors must bring their own sheets, pillowcases and towels (these can be provided with some difficulty at extra cost if requested in advance).
Broadband and telephone
We now have a telephone in the cottage offering free
calls to visitors. We also have an internet connection which is also available free for visitors.
Our insurance requires that the maximum number
which the cottage will sleep is six adults. There is
a no smoking policy and we regret that pets are
not allowed, however well behaved. We regret
we cannot make any exceptions to these rules.
A cleaner calls between bookings, but visitors are
expected to leave the cottage clean and tidy.
David Lee checks through the cottage between
lettings and acts on our behalf.
The cottage may only be booked from Saturday to Saturday. It must be vacated on the last Saturday by 10.30 and may be occupied from 3.30 on the first Saturday. Bookings must be in writing and accompanied by a booking form and deposit of £60 for each of the weeks booked (£40 per week if the price for the relevant week is less than £200). Cheques should be made payable to "John Fisher's Cottage". Bank details for credit transfers originating outside the United Kingdom can be supplied.
