Summary: We enjoyed our stay at the Shepards Rest. Its a fun little adventure to get to the property that involves a single lane tunnel. So I suggest not making the mistake and arriving at night. The property is beautiful. Its listed as 1 bath, but it actually has 2 which was a pleasant surprise. I thought there was a washer AND dryer, but its just a washer and some clips that I believe means theres a drying rack but definitely no dryer. Spacious place, would definitely return. Beautiful outdoor surrounding and views of Ben Nevis to wake up to.
