Felt perfectly at home
We had a wonderful time staying at Upper Alta and were sad to leave. The stunning view left us speechless. A very tranquil, relaxing and homely environment to stay in. If we ever get the chance, we'd love to come back.

all you need: Upper Alta
Alles was wir für einen erholsamen Urlaub brauchten haben wir in Tighnabruaich gefunden. Einen wunderschönen Blick vom Balkon über den Kyles of Bute. Jeden Tag hat uns das Licht unterschiedlichste Farbnuancen beschert. Ein kleiner Spaziergang von 20 Minuten entfernt läßt sich ein kleiner Supermarkt und zwei liebevoll gestaltete Cafe's finden. Ein paar Schritte den Hang hinauf kann lecker im Hotel des Ortes gespeist werden mit Blick auf die Bucht. Ein paar Mailen durchs Land mit dem Auto und ein zwanzig Minütiger Walk entfernt kann Strandleben genossen werden in der Kilbride bay. Hier geht das Ufer sanft ins Meer so dass das Wasser an der Oberfläche warm genug ist um ohne Neopren Anzug schwimmen zu gehen. Auf dem Rückweg können kleine Snacks an einer Hütte am Bauernhof genossen werden. Zurück in der Ferienwohnung Upper Alta finden wir alles was wir zum Kochen benötigen um uns selbst zu versorgen. Sogar eine Waschmaschine steht bereit. Neben dem Haus kann eine Holzterasse genutzt werden mit Blick auf den Kyle. Die Betten sind angenehm und die Einrichtung schön aufeinander abgestimmt. Wer mag setzt sich an kühlen Abenden an das Kaminfeuer(mit Feuerimitat u Heizlüfter). Auf dem Kyle ist immer etwas zu beobachten, der Wassersport, die Seevögel... ein Fernglas liegt ebenfalls bereit. Hier wurde an wirklich alles gedacht. Es lohnt sich einen Ausflug nach Tabert oder auf die Insel Bute zu unternehmen. Schön sind auch die Wege im Ort in Richtung Leuchturm oder hoch zur Straße.
