About our reviews

In total we have received 5184 reviews from guests, of which 97% have ranked their stay as Very Good or Excellent.

A good way to judge whether a property will be suitable for your self catering holiday is to see what previous guests had to say about their visit. They often provide a deeper insight into features and locations, often highlighting things that we are not aware of. We believe this can only be of benefit to our future visitors.

We love Shore Cottage - our third visit! Especially its total isolation with lovely beach a few yards away. Only point to watch is that the approach track is really tricky unless you have a high clearance car and/or you are used to farm tracks! Our advice is to go very slowly and carefully.

What a beautiful place. The view was stunning especially sitting in the garden looking across the Spey.

The Eilien Mor cottage was in a beautiful location with gorgeous views from the conservatory where we spent a lot of our time. The cottage is very comfortable with everything you need and well stocked with kitchen essentials like salt/pepper and oil etc.,The satellite television wasn't working on our arrival but the housekeeper was quick to respond and provided a Smart TV for us which we appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend to future guests.

Fabulous place, clean and cozy. Ticked all the boxes for us, great walks right outside the door and Forres is only 4.8 miles away so we walked it as we have two Weimaraners. Lovely garden which is enclosed and secure for your fur babies. We would watch the visitors to the garden saw a host of feathery friends including a Woodpecker, plus Squirrels. We also travelled to different beaches and went Dolphin spotting too. Hope to be back soon ????

We had a wonderful stay at The Orchids - it's a fantastic house in a spectacular location! It was so comfortable and warm with plenty of room for us all to spread out, relax and enjoy the amazing views! We would have given a rating of (5)Excellent if there had been enough garden seating for all six guests.

We were so happy to stay in Elgol cottage. The place (inside and outside) is beautiful. We felt very welcome in the cosy cottage, which has a lot of lovely details. The view is absolutely fantastic. The road to Elgol is quite an experience but it was worth it. The cuilin hills nearby, the sea so close, it was very special.

Fantastic cottage, newly renovated to a high standard. We particularly enjoyed the view down to Clashnessie beach, which we never got tired of. The main living area gets lovely morning sun (in July), a good way to start off the day. Although the cottage is close to the road, I was pleasantly surprised that there was very little noise from passing traffic. The only slight disappointment was that the garden was a bit ragged - I expect the ground has not yet recovered from all the building work, so hopefully soon the area around the picnic table will be better maintained (with a BBQ too?!?)

I drove past this house many years ago before it was renovated and I thought it had the best location of any Scottish west coast traditional cottage I'd ever seen, with stunning views of the five sisters & right on the loch. The recent renovation is superb and does the location proud. This cottage is now arguably THE best cottage on the west coast, hence the reason we've visited twice & will be back again soon. Superb house, superb location, enough said.

A lovely holiday - very comfortable and well equipped cottage in a quiet location near to Inverness. It was easy to drive to the west coast as well as the north.
