About our reviews

In total we have received 5559 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.

Another great week at Ardbeg, think this was our 7th visit and we are booked in again for March '26. As usual everything was perfect, except the weather. Saw the Pine Marten in the garden as well, which was a lovely bonus.

Stoer Lodge is a unique location. The lodge provides everything you want and then there is the view. Have been lucky to stay a few times and have experienced a fantastic array of weather all in a week. Seb (German Shepherd) loves the beach and walks. We could go on ... never disappoints. Thank you.

The Artist's Cottage is a great place to experience the Highlands. Fully equipped, spacious and very nicely and cosy. The four of us had a great holiday here in November 2025, seeing all the highlights of Island of Skye, the Highlands and the nearby city of Inverness. Beautiful walks made by the snow and magnificent views photographed. Totally top!

Our first stay at The Coltsfoots. Wonderful and friendly hosts who made us very welcome. Thank you for the welcome gifts which we thoroughly enjoyed. The cabin is set in a lovely secluded spot, very quiet and peaceful, just the sound of the babbling river as it flowed through the garden. The cabin was immaculate and warm on arrival, it is very well equipped and a dryer was an added bonus. The bedrooms were a very generous size and the king size bed was very comfortable.We saw the shy red squirrels a few times but sadly no deer . We were visited daily by 3 pheasants who came for nuts left for the squirrels. The cabin is only a few minutes away from Fort Augustus and central for visiting many areas of the Highlands. We had a lovely relaxing 2 weeks and hope to return. Thank you. Highly recommended.

The cottage is delightful and comfortable in a beautiful location. The views are amazing and the whole area is breathtaking. We did have guests in the form of 3 field mice and this is clearly a regular occurrence as there were a number of humane traps provided. This didn't bother me as I live in the countryside and this is happens. You just have to keep food well shut away and check for mouse droppings. In November many places are closed or have limited opening hours but we can recommend the Applecross Inn (saw an otter while we were sat outside), Nanny's at Sheildaig and the Spa at Lochcarron. The applecross pass is a must see and you will need to use it really to get to Lochcarron. On our travels in the area we saw numerous red deer, 2 sea eagles, a seal, a pine marten and of course the otter. Would have no hesitation in coming back to the area, though if you have an electric car you cannot recharge at the cottage and there is no local charging point as yet. We recharged at Kyle of Lochalsh.

Another enjoyable stay at The Artist`s Cottage in Farr. Ideal for a quiet get-away amid fabulous scenery and in a property of special architectural merrit. The Charles Rennie Mackintosh interiors and period furnishings create an impressive yet cosy atmosphere. We plan to return again next year.

A beautiful cosy and warm cottage with everything you need for a quiet and peaceful stay, wonderfully decorated with a lot of thought and effort gone into this. Fantastic location with lovely views, secluded but near enough to Peebles and other towns for a quick visit. And our Peugeot Expert Camper Van got up the track no problem at all. Great time all round, thank you.

A beautiful studio in a stunning location. The perfect place to relax and enjoy all that the area has to offer. The studio has everything you could possibly need and I can't recommend it enough
