Great holiday. So peaceful, relaxing watching the wildlife and the ever changing scenery from the sun room. Thank you.

3 November 07, The new Higgins Family (honeymooners), Edinburgh

What a fantastic hideaway for a relaxed and peaceful honeymoon. Arrived in the dark but woke to a gorgeous sunny morning What scenery! Rained for the rest of the week! Glad the cottage is so well equipped as we spent a lot of time in it – very comfortable. Great food at Applecross Inn, recommended by local chap that sells calor gas. Thanks for a great holiday we’ll definitely be back.

P.S Thank you very much for the Champagne! it was enjoyed 

13 October, 07, The Batty Family, Perthshire

We had a fantastic holiday in this beautiful setting (Cleaner and gardener - brilliant job). Outstanding cottage. Only needed coats on one day, otherwise very warm and sunny – rained overnight but dried up in the morning. Midges still biting! Watch shop petrol opening days/times! Loved the wildlife.

29 September 07, The Holts & poochies, Cheshire

We had a great time.  Cottage and surroundings are fantastic.

22 September 07, The Halls (& Lottie the Jack Russell), Oxfordshire

A well thought out holiday home in a superb location. The wildlife up here is amazing – especially the otters. Good eats at the Badachro Inn; the Potting shed at Applecross, Torridon Inn;  Fish and Chips at Gairloch (delicious, we’d earn’t them that day!). Best shop: Kenneth Morrison at Gairloch. (for fresh fruit, veg, meat and dairy)

We’ve been all over the place but worthy of note – Glass bottom boat at Kyle of Lochalsh, saw so much.

Walk around Ard Duhb south of Applecross  to Coillegillie a stunning bit of coast, Elgol on Skye, a long way but Cammusary bay worth the hike. Walk from Allt a choire Dhuibh Mhoir to Choire Mhic Fearchair & back – well marked track, just hope you see more than we did. Despite so much rain its been a great holiday.

25  August 07, The Elliots & Tara the dog, Kelso

Great home in beautiful setting, but make sure you bring all the groceries you need…. Mountains around here are tremendous – some of the best in Britain.  Coastline is fantastic and there is lots of wildlife.

19 May 07, Jones, Wotton-Under-Edge

A fantastic place to turn 40.  Great walking and even great weather. A completely lovely place to be – can’t wait to be back.  Walks over the horns, Liathach, Ben Damh & around the coast.  NB The thrushes & sparrows in the garden have developed a taste for raisins.  Great week, great company, great walking, great food, great wine…

Very relaxing break, wonderful scenery and a very comfortable, well-equipped house. Rained solidly for 2 days, so children are now experts at monopoly! Badachro Inn highly recommended!
