About our reviews

In total we have received 5686 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.

Appletree Studio is a gem of a property on this stunning piece of coast with lovely sea views from the bedroom and outside decking at the rear. The house has been very well and tastefully appointed and equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable self catering holiday and is a superb find for the less mobile thanks to the extra hand rails and supports in the excellent wet room. The owner, Jenny, has paid great attention to detail in providing for her guests. All in all, with the lovely gardens surrounding the property, it's a very nice place to stay. We hope to return.

This was a comfortable, well appointed and spacious cottage in a quiet and peaceful, rural setting near the sea, with a clear view over to the Irish coast. We found the bed and sofas to be very comfortable, and the cottage had an excellent and powerful shower. Our hosts were both friendly, although non intrusive. We must also take this opportunity to thank them for a generous and scrumptious welcome hamper. We would return to this cottage in a heartbeat if the track leading to the cottage was more car friendly. It was anxiety inducing each time we had to venture out, which slightly undid the feeling of relaxation that the cottage and setting provided in abundance. Hopefully, this can be rectified and highlighted on the booking website, as this was one of our favourite cottages and location to date (we have been to approximately 40 cottages over the years). We do, however, appreciate that the responsibility for the track does not lie directly at the door of our hosts. Many thanks and we wish our hosts continued success for the future.

Enjoyed a lovely week at The Coltsfoots. Hosts made us feel very welcome and provided a generous welcome pack. Accommodation itself was outstanding, very spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. The veranda was an added treat to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend for relaxing break.

We had the most wonderful stay at Tor Cottage. Booking was easy, the details online were accurate and directions clear. The cottage was immaculate and every appliance, furniture item and equipment was top quality. The views from all front facing rooms were stunning whatever the weather. Ruth the owner was really friendly and proud of her holiday cottage and always enjoyed having a chat when we met. It was an amazing week

We enjoyed a wonderful week with all the family at this very special house. So very comfortable, spotlessly clean, well equipped and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed visits to Inverewe gardens, Gairloch museum, cycles and many walks but always lovely to return to Aultmore to enjoy the spectacular views. Thank you and thanks too for making the booking process so very easy.

A beautiful location with lots of wildlife and a very nice clean property,the only downside being the access road a mile drive along a track which in some parts was extremely potholed and bumpy, we had a large 4x4 vehicle but a car or fully loaded car may have difficulty. It was the only thing that would discourage us from returning.

This is a wonderful cottage, warm, clean and cosy, well maintained by its owners and a nearby housekeeper. Its location is rare and exceptional, with no traffic noise at all, right on Loch Scavaig, with the Cuillins in front, and amidst fine local wildlife. I saw a few Black Guillemots and Gannets from the front porch, with Oystercatchers and Wheatears hopping around constantly. There are pleasant eateries within walking distance. Good internet connection.

Eilan Mor cottage We stayed here 3 years ago and it was so good to be back. The house is very comfortable with lots of nice finishing touches like locally woven throws and pictures from local artists. The conservatory is a good place to spend your time just watching the birds or looking at the lovely views. Very quiet and well off the road with a short walk down to the loch to watch the seals or the heron. We look forward to coming back soon.
