Island Cottage, Lochcarron

Well-behaved dogs are welcome at Island Cottage by prior arrangement.

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

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

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