Staffa is a high quality log cabin built from solid whole Scandinavian pines and occupying a breathtaking position looking down Loch Sunart, near the village of Strontian and en route to the Ardnamurchan peninsula which is the most westerly part of Scotland and an escapist's paradise.

Double glazed, completely refurbished and furnished by its new owners to a very high standard, it offers delightful and informal accommodation for up to four people. It sits in its own patch of garden (furniture) from where you can enjoy these stunning views onto this sea loch and the rugged mountain scenery beyond.
This is a superb place to relax and do as little or as much as you want. Walkers will doubtless head for the hills - Ben Resipol is the nearest peak - while others may prefer gentler strolls through the woods on the shores of the loch.
Fishing is available locally, there are boat trips from Acharacle, sandy beaches and secluded coves at Sanna at the end of the peninisula, or visit the Stevenson lighthouse at Arnamurchan Point.
If you turn right at Salen you can carry on up to Mallaig past the silver sands of Morar and the incomparable views of Rum and Eigg from Arisaig. There is an excellent golf course there at Traigh (the name means Shore which says it all). From Mallaig, you can catch the ferry over to Skye - the crossing only takes half an hour. Just over half an hour's drive from Strontian you can be in Lochaline, where yet another half hour will whisk you across on the little ferry to Fishnish on Mull.
Or if you want a bit of urban bustle, you can soon be in Fort William (24 miles via the Corran Ferry), shopping, catching the West Highland Line steam train to Mallaig, swimming at the leisure centre, climbing Ben Nevis or, in winter, skiing at Aonach Mhor.

Only criticism was that the access from the car park to the cabin was very overgrown and slippery
See previous comments had to leave early due to my dog being attacked.
The cottage was amazing, great location with a breathing view. The cottage was clean and tidy.
Excellent location, great area for spotting wildlife
The website and online booking worked well
