Our two weeks in this beautiful house went by far too quickly. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home. The view over the bay is absolutely breathtaking in all kinds of weather, something you'll never forget. The house was very clean, lovingly furnished, and well equipped. Communication with the agency was always extremely friendly and uncomplicated, just the way it should be. We can recommend the Inverpark Stores, a well-stocked supermarket, and, of course, the delicious pies from Lochinver Larder, an absolute must. As a starting point for wonderful hikes, the house was perfect for us. It's a true "soul place" in Scotland, we will definitely be back

North Lodge

Cottage is a great location and set within Lochnaw Estate, surrounded by wildlife. However, it is very dated and in need of much upgrading. The cottage is also in need of a thorough deep clean too. It smelt damp on arrival. We even had a bat in the main bedroom because the entrance to loft was not properly sealed. The TV is the size of a computer monitor and the dvd does not connect to it. We had issues with the hob and switched it off due to constant bleeping. The shower is the lowest pressure I've ever seen and the hot water is dangerously scalding. Overall, could be great but is let down by a complete lack of investment and cleaning effort. Outdoor furniture is a joke and completely unusable, given the setting this is very poor.

Shore Cottage

My daughter and I had the most amazing week at Shore Cottage. Such a special place overlooking the ever changing, dramatic sea. The surrounding wildlife was captivating and we even woke up to the cows in the garden one morning but they soon jumped over the fence onto the beach and ran off! Our dogs must have thought they had died and gone to heaven with the quiet beach in such close proximity. They had the time of their lives and just ran and ran all week! Mobile wifi is accessible in certain areas, so you aren't totally cut off from the outside world. I hope to visit again in the not too distant future.

Seascape Cottage

Seascape Cottage had everything we wished for and more for a getaway from it all break. Welcomed on arrival by the owner we immediately felt at home and eager to explore the stunning coastline and wildlife from our doorstep. Our home for the week had everything you could need with all the mod cons and comforts, kitted out with thought and taste. Including a wonderful hamper and eggs from our hosts own hens, a lovey treat! The heating and water system is very efficient ensuring total comfort day and night, we were blessed with some beautiful weather but I have no doubt Seascape would be the perfect retreat after a day exploring on colder days. I would also recommend Seascape to anyone who is less mobile, my partner has some mobility issues and had no problems at all, no steps to the property or shower. We felt so privileged to be able to spend time in this little haven, I'd recommend to anyone seeking peace and tranquility.

Stable Cottage

We as a family were very happy to make a return visit to Stable Cottage and the Lochnaw Estate, as we were very fortunate to have had the opportunity to stay at this lovely cottage and beautiful Scottish Estate and to have enjoyed a wonderful holiday there last year. We were once again very grateful for the very comfortable and spacious accommodation, which this property provides and especially appreciated the peace and tranquility of the location of the cottage within the Lochnaw Estate, which is a very serene and atmospheric place, with areas of wild woodlands and wonderful grounds to explore, with a wide variety of trees and natural habitats thriving there. At the centre of the estate is the magnificent and historic Lochnaw Castle, which is an amazing sixteenth century tower house surrounded by beautiful well-kept lawns, where deer can sometimes be seen at the edge of the lawns or roaming amongst the woodlands and forestry that surrounds the formal gardens and grounds of this wonderful castle. Lochnaw Castle is at the heart of the estate and has a sense of the centuries' old history of the Agnew family, who built it, etched into its glorious architecture and stonework, with a variety of family crests and shields built into the stonework near the rooftop of the castle, and around the castle and grounds there is a strong feeling of the Scottish clan history that was responsible for building and designing this marvellous building and its beautiful grounds. Stable Cottage is a wonderful property for families wanting a more secluded and quiet and peaceful location for their holiday, and has a stunning natural forest and loch landscape on a traditional Scottish Estate to explore and the cottage itself is located in a very quiet and peaceful stable courtyard, which was built for the Agnew family in the 1850's and is at the centre of the estate and very near to Lochnaw Castle and its loch, so of an evening after a day on the beach or the coast, there is the opportunity to look around this wonderful tranquil natural environment and to visit this beautiful loch, that has areas of lily ponds and an old boathouse, which provide an amazing setting and backdrop for the very ancient and historic Lochnaw Castle. The Stable courtyard, where the cottage is located, has an old clock tower and weathervane and a tree at its centre and the owners of the cottage have provided outdoor seating there for when the weather is fine and so this is a lovely peaceful place to sit outdoors of an evening. Stable Cottage has plenty of space for families and has a large and spacious lounge, which is classically and simply styled, with three good-sized sofas in coastal blue seaside colours, which reflect the wonderful coastal landscape, which is not far from the cottage and that is also part of the estate and extends right up to the coast at Larbrax bay. The kitchen is large and spacious and is well cared for and very well- equipped and is appropriately styled in traditional Victorian style, cream-coloured country kitchen units, which reflect the traditional and rural character of the estate, with a large farmhouse table at the centre of the room, for gathering around for meals. All the bedrooms are comfortably furnished with good quality fittings and furniture, and the main bedroom has a lovely ensuite bathroom, so a very comfortable and excellent standard of accommodation is provided within this traditional character cottage, which has such an amazing natural environment and historic setting around it. This is really a very charming and comfortable older and classic country cottage property, which has been very nicely modernised in keeping with its rural character and it is ideal for those seeking the stillness and quietness and tranquility of nature. For families it is a delight to explore this traditional Scottish estate, with its wonderful historic setting, that inspires the imagination and is reminiscent of a fairy tale castle or a castle in a medieval or folk tale or a classic children's adventure story, as it still has preserved within the grounds, the beautiful old-fashioned, gated walled gardens that were designed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, which are gradually being restored and nurtured back to life and have wonderful areas of topiary, rose gardens and orchards. Within the estate there are lovely sun-dappled woodland paths, and a variety of ancient and characterful trees. The feeling of an enchanted forest surrounding a castle in a children's story can be felt amongst the varied and quite vast wild woodland areas and shrubberies that there are to be explored and discovered around the estate, and there are beautiful wild rhododendrons growing amongst the foliage and shrubberies. The remains of a couple of older cottages from the past history of the estate are located within the atmospheric nearby woodland of the cottage, and so Stable Cottage has an absolutely unique location and is a really lovely peaceful place for a holiday, with an amazing historic castle and its wonderful grounds to discover virtually on the doorstep of cottage. There is also a really magnificent coastal landscape to explore within the nearby vicinity of Stable Cottage. Not too far from the cottage and about a mile or two away, the quiet and peaceful Larbrax bay can be discovered along a path which journeys through rolling hills and past a couple of farms and arrives at a wonderful, secluded bay that has a superb long sandy beach, with the waves of the Irish sea lapping onto its shore and beautiful views towards the stunning cliff scenery at the Killantringan lighthouse. On a clear sunny day there are fine views towards the hills of the Irish coast and the outline of a lighthouse on the coast there can be seen in the far distance. About a fifteen-minute drive from Stable Cottage, the Killantringan lighthouse can be visited and from the cliff top where the lighthouse is situated, there are the most spectacular views of one of the finest stretches of coast and cliff scenery in the area and a length of beautiful long sandy beach, which has some interesting rock formations, a lovely waterfall and a fine stretch of golden sand beach, which extends up to Knock bay and also has a wonderful view of Knock Bay House, which has a unique and stunning location high up on the cliffs and above this amazing beach, and with its almost solitary setting, this imposing Scottish Baronial style house enhances this marvellous scenic view and adds a dramatic and romantic element to the magnificent cliff scenery of this area. On the other side of the cliff at the Killantringan lighthouse, the beautiful, rugged cliff scenery of the smaller Portamaggie cove can be found and there are some lovely quite high hills surrounding this beautiful spot and my husband discovered some good scenic walks along the peaceful coastal path there. Portpatrick is another place of rugged cliff scenery, with a fine harbour, which is the base for the RNLI and there are a few shops and hotels there and a number of entertaining and sporting family activities available, such as bowling, tennis and putting and also a very fine golf course, which is situated overlooking this magnificent stretch of coast and beautiful cliff scenery. There are regular musical events and tribute groups and also market and craft stalls organised for each weekend, and a folk festival is based in Portpatrick on an annual basis, so there is plenty to do in this lively and friendly seaside harbour town for anyone with a family to keep occupied and to entertain. The beautiful Dunskey Castle is located near Portpatrick and has the most amazing, rugged cliff top setting and is a wonderful place to take photographs and to take in and absorb the beauty and atmosphere of this stunning, coastal landscape view, and with the ancient remains of this scenic, early sixteenth century castle located on wild rugged cliffs, this is another fantastic place, which is full of history, that can be discovered within the local area of Stable Cottage and the Lochnaw Estate. There are some more wonderful, beautiful sandy beaches with lovely cliff scenery such as the ones at Port Logan and Ardwell bay within the Rhins of Galloway area, and also the amazing and dramatic, rugged high cliffs of the Mull of Galloway, which is known as the Lands' End of Southern Scotland, and has a lighthouse that was built in the early nineteenth century by the engineer grandfather of the writer Robert Louis Stevenson. The magnificent high coastal cliff scenery of the Mull of Galloway is only about a half hour's drive from Stable cottage and the Lochnaw Estate, so is within easy reach of the property. Stable cottage therefore provides a very good standard of comfortably furnished and classically styled, well- presented accommodation, with an absolutely unique and tranquil natural environment to enjoy and is beautifully situated close to the fascinating historical setting of Lochnaw Castle, and it was wonderful for our family to have had the opportunity to have stayed there again and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend it as a wonderful holiday cottage experience for those who enjoy beautiful historic buildings and value the peace and tranquility of nature. Stable Cottage also provides a really excellent and ideal base for visiting the whole of the Rhins of Galloway area within a relatively short drive. In addition to this, the cottage also offers the opportunity to have a contrasting experience of the local area and landscapes around the Wigtownshire and Dumfries and Galloway area and the chance to explore and visit some stunning rural and countryside locations further afield, while continuing to enjoy the coast and a seaside holiday on the Rhins of Galloway, and so this cottage also provides an ideal base and the opportunity to visit the wonderful lochs and lovely mountain and high moorland hills of the vast wooded and forested areas of the beautiful Galloway Forest.

The cottage had a wonderful location but we were disappointed with some of the interior. The kitchen in particular needs replacing as do the sofas and better quality crockery and cutlery. Plastic bowls and plates reminded us of camping. Beds were very comfortable and lots of information, maps and guides provided which was very useful. We enjoyed the visits from the livestock of a morning. One final point I wouldn't advise anyone with mobility problems to stay at this cottage as the access path is quite steep in places and luggage must be brought to and from the cottage by wheelbarrow.

We had a fantastic stay at Appletree Studio. It is a beautiful house and our host Jenny had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and with everything we would need. The house is set in the most wonderful location looking out over Loch Torridon and the mountains. Would thoroughly recommend Appletree Studio. Thank you Jenny.

Rhundunan

We enjoyed our return visit to Rhundunan after 12 years as much as the first time. The property is fully equipped and everything works well. Only constructive feedback is regarding the surface of the steep driveway which could do with reinforcing in a couple of places. Our car skidded a few times on the way up.

Port Elgol Cottage

I highly recommend Port Elgol Cottage! A beautifully located and well-equipped small holiday home where you can feel completely at ease. We were there for the second time and are again very enthusiastic!
