  Apologies for lateness in leaving this feedback - has been a busy couple of weeks since returning to the toddler.

  First and foremost we wanted to thank you for our stay at The Hen House which we thoroughly enjoyed even if only for 2 nights. We were impressed by the quality of the design of The Hen House, the interior, electronics and setup with manual and the amazing wood fired hot tub! All of this added to a really enjoyable getaway which we have already recommended to others and will continue to do so. We'd very much like to book another stay at The Hen House in the near future! As the stay was pretty much all positive, there isn't that much to say around negatives or improvements but I will mention a few things for feedback: As we don't drink alcohol the gift bottle of wine was sort of wasted on us as a gift. We've stayed at similar small getaways and, on top of alcohol, a local delicacy - smoked fish, eggs or something of the sort is usually given as a welcome. This would have been a super touch! Permaculture Design could be applied to the courtyard to make it more lush and interactive and could easily house hens within the courtyard area. Organic grow spaces could be made amongst the large gravel area. Trees in courtyard need a good pruning. The Smeg coffee machine was great to use.  Bringing this into focus a bit more with extra brew making kit and organic milk would be fantastic. Mattress could be firmer to provide extra support and possibly less pillows. It's difficult to get to sleep first few nights when staying away somewhere if the mattress is too soft and sinks. Overall this is a 5 star piece of well crafted and finished accommodation. It's nicely thought out and has a really homely feel to it. Great travelling distance to Inverness and rest highlands. Highly recommend!

  What a fantastic cottage this is and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

  It was like a wee fairytale cottage, lovely and cozy, spotlessly clean and had everything you would need for your visit. I absolutely loved the bed with the amazing wood panel on the headboard and the amazing gates/doors at the bottom. The large mirror looked beautiful too. The only one thing I did not like so much were the seats. I did not find them very comfortable. The appliances were amazing and they have thought of everything you might need. The garden was lovely with 2 beautiful pagodas. One with seats and a table and one with an amazing hot tub. It is wood fired and the first time we used it my husband tried to cook me !! Next time he got the hang of it better :-) Even the fencing around this cottage was beautiful Chinese / Japanese style. As you can guess this was right up my street and I loved every minute of being there. We had lovely walks around the estate as well so it was a very relaxing stay. Thank you xx

  Our stay in the Hen House was amazing!

  The property was super clean, really well presented and we were even left a bottle of wine and some chocolates when we arrived. The location is beautiful, and is only a stones throw from lots of amazing places of natural beauty, allowing you to explore the highlands to the fullest! We had requested for all feather bedding to be removed as my wife is allergic, and were happy to see that not only had the bedding been removed, the whole property had gone through an extra clean to make sure no feathers remained, and we were left a little note by the cleaner explaining what had been done! Thank you so much, we had an amazing stay and can't recommend this property enough!

  This was a really, really cool place.

  Newly remodeled, top-of-the-line fittings and furnishings, extremely cozy. It was great to have the hot tub (make sure you fire it up about 3-4 hours in advance) and the gazebo overhead made it suitable for any weather (although ours was great). We had a little mix-up when we arrived, which I only mention because Sykes, the owner, and the property manager all bent over backwards to correct it. To me, the true measure of service only comes when the inevitable mistake occurs, and the grade comes from the response, which was A+. Do not hesitate to stay here - you won't find a better property anywhere near.

  Fantastic place.

  Perfect for couples. Did not use the hot tub but think this is an excellent bonus for anyone who fancies giving it a try. Lovely little courtyard. Pity it rained a fair bit and we could not use it much. Peaceful setting, except when they are doing timber work nearby. Great appliances and extra comforts available in kitchen and bathroom. Only thing not too keen on was the armchairs were a little uncomfortable but propped up with pillows they were fine. Others may find them comfortable, it is just my creaky body…loved being able to access Netflix. Great WiFi connection considering such a rural setting.
