Gold standard hosting
What a beautiful property, everything had been thought of. The cottage was super-clean and cosy with lovely views and friendly hosts. If the weather had been cold we would have been very snug with the underfloor heating and wood-burner. As it was, we were just right and Siobhan had included lots of little extras which made it extra special. Highly recommended 😊

Tranquil perfection
A very welcoming site after a long drive , lights on, welcome message and all that we needed for drinks and nibbles . The cottage is beautifully decorated with all that is needed. A fab porch gives shelter for sitting out in the morning, breakfast or coffee time and evening for gin and sundown. Slept well in the comfy bed and the bathroom is lovely. Beautiful tranquil views and wildlife aplenty. Deer, birds and farm animals. A perfect location and home from home for some well earned R&R

Amazing place to stay, loved every single minute, everything was perfect.
This property is in a class of its own, the views are absolutely perfect, such a relaxing place to stay, and you cannot fault Siobhan and Garry as hosts. When you hear birds a couple of feet away from you all day and see deer coming down the hill we knew we would love it, credit to you both, x

A lovely stay in a beautiful apartment.
My husband and I had the most relaxing time staying in this lovely apartment. Siobhan has thought of so many little touches to make it a comfortable and peaceful place to stay and the welcome gifts were a lovely treat. I would highly recommend a stay here, it feels peaceful and out of the way whilst being close to many of the attractions of the Highlands.

Everything about this property is first class, from the delightful owners, the dozens of little extra touches such as lovely flowers, a range of toiletries and beauty items to rival a 5 star hotel and beautiful peaceful surroundings. Siobahn could not have been more attentive to our needs as my husband is disabled and she immediately offered a more upright chair from her own home if we wanted it. I would recommend this property to anyone and can only thank Siobahn and Garry for providing such a wonderful experience

Beautiful Holiday
Siobhan’s property is absolutely beautiful, we had the most wonderful long weekend staying at the Croft. The apartment comes with all the little luxuries that anyone would want, making it feel incredibly homely with a personal touch. The decor is beautiful and fits in perfectly with the stunning setting of the property. The areas is very peaceful and fantastic for getting out walking and exploring nature. I can’t recommended this property and Siobhan highly enough!

Stunning
Just perfect, the Croft exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a rural location with modern amenities and a log fire, this ticked all our boxes. The owner made us feel very welcome and was on hand if we needed anything including hints and tips of where to go and what to do. Would we return? Yes, we absolutely would.

Quality Highland Accommodation
We stayed a week at this property and were absolutely delighted with it. The cottage was beautifully appointed with everything that we needed and some lovely personal touches which made it so homely. Siobhan obviously has an eye for detail. The location was just perfect for peace and quiet and ideal as a base for both long and short walks in the surrounding area. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a holiday here!

Little piece of heaven !
We fell in in love with this beautiful property . It was warm and cosy with amazing views . The decor and ambience were great giving the feel of luxury but with an easy comfort that made you instantly feel at home ! All the fixtures, fittings , linens , crockery etc were quality and a joy to use ! However what really makes this cottage so special is the little touches that Siobhan has added all the lovely books , pictures , fresh flowers , antiques , welcome shortbread biscuits and the wee dram of whiskey ! The location may seem remote but is easily accessible and so worth it for the amazing view and total peace and quiet . This little gem is a long way from our home but I am already trying to plan another stay !

Beautiful cottage in the highlands
My husband and I spent three nights in this beautiful property. Located in some gorgeous mountains, it’s isolated enough to to be quiet but close enough to cafes and shops for groceries if you want them. Siobhan has made a fantastic job of the cottage, everything about the property is high quality and she has thought of every need her guests might have including a cosy wood burner, guide books, suggested itineraries for the surrounding area and Scottish soaps which smell incredible. I would recommend this property to anyone.

A quiet and relaxing Hogmanay under a starry sky surrounded by the beauty of the Highlands.
This property was excellent in every way. It was warm and cosy. The space had been well designed to accommodate all of the essentials needed for a relaxing stay. The owners had it beautifully decorated and it is so well cared for. A lot of thought had gone into providing additional touches that made you feel welcome. The fresh flowers made it even more special. The bird feeders outside the bedroom window were well located to ensure usage by a wide variety of different small birds. The veranda was also good for wildlife viewing. The property was ideally situated for walking whatever the weather whether locally or in the surrounding area.

Herrlicher Urlaub in den Highlands
Unsere herzliche Gastgeberin war äußerst hilfsbereit und freundlich. Für unsere Ankunft war alles vorbereitet. Es waren sogar Milch, Tee und Kekse bereitgestellt. Außerdem bekamen wir sogar Proben für Whisky und Gin zum kosten. Das Haus war sauber, geschmackvoll und mit vielen kleinen Details gemütlich eingerichtet, so dass wir uns rundum wohlgefühlt haben. Wir bekamen auch interessante infos für Touren und Besichtigungen in der Umgebung (inkl. einen Tipp zur Beobachtung einer Hirschkuh mit Nachwuchs praktisch vor der Haustür). Einchecken war zu jeder Zeit durch den am Haus vorhandenen Schlüssel möglich. Wer also die Natur und die dazu gehörige Ruhe mag, ist hier wirklich gut aufgehoben und wird von einer herzlichen Gastgeberin mit allem nötigen versorgt. Wir können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen.

Wundervolle Zeit
Wir hatten eine ganz wunderbare Zeit in den Highlands. Man konnte spüren, dass Siobhan viel Liebe in dieses kleine Häuschen gesteckt hat. Es war stimmig und mit vielen kleinen, süßen Details eingerichtet. Man hatte alles was man brauchte, vom Kühlschrank, über zum Geschirr und allem möglichen für Kaffee und Tee und an kalten Tagen konnte man sich den kleinen Ofen anzünden. Alles war vorbereitet. Sie war sogar so lieb eine Milch in den Kühlschrank zu stellen und einen Champagner als Geschenk zur Hochzeit (es waren unsere Flitterwochen). Dort draußen in den Highlands konnte man sehr gut abschalten, die Ruhe und Zweisamkeit genießen. Der einzige Nachteil war dadurch (aber das sehe ich geradezu als selbsterklärend an), dass man relativ weite Wege in die Stadt und zu Restaurants hatte. Binnen 15min mit dem Auto konnte man aber immerhin zu einem kleinen Einkaufsladen in Beauly kommen. Siobhan war auch so freundlich Empfehlungen zur Umgebung, Reiserouten und Restaurants zu geben. Für alle mit Wanderlust und Freude auf ein schönes Fleckchen Natur ist dies das perfekte Reiseziel!

Wir waren in dem wunderbaren Cottage von Siobhan und Garry für ca. 1 Woche, kurz um, es war der perfekte Start in unseren Schottland Urlaub. Siobhan ist eine perfekte Gastgeberin, dass Cottage ist wunderbar detailreich hergerichtet. Die Kosmetikartikel sind von sehr guter Qualität, es gibt Café, Tee, Kakao und Öl zum Kochen. Wir haben uns rundum Wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Auszeit vom Alltag
Perfekt eingerichtet und super gemütlich mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Obwohl etwas abgelegen ist man schnell in Beauly mit sehr guten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants. Inverness ist auch schnell erreichbar. Gute Basis für Ausflüge in die Umgebung wie Urquhart Castle, Culloden, Ullapool oder Dunrobin.
