What our customers say about their holidays

  The location of the house and the gardens were perfect.

  The grounds were well kept and beautiful. The on site house keeper was very helpful. We especially enjoyed the badminton net and actually replaced it. The kids really loved the flying fox. We appreciated the equipment left to play with. The house size and the games room were excellent. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the property - the kitchens work surfaces were not cleaned properly. There were a lot of cobwebs in property, and the fly wrappers were disgusting. Some of the furnishings were worn and could have easily been patched up: rooms in this house looked tired. None of these things spoiled our holiday; however this is not what you would expect from a luxury property. The cottage we also booked smelt damp which was not acceptable. The other disappointing experience was the information changing about whether we could have 2 dogs. Originally we were told we would could take 2 dogs in the one cottage and at the last minute we were told we would have to pay for the second cottage for the second dog. This led to a lot of confusion. At the very last minute we were then told we could have both dogs in the one cottage. It was a shame this was not communicated properly.

  We stayed this past weekend and the house was freezing cold, no hot water in the main kitchen, a resident bat made itself known on the first night, all the rooms were full of dead insects and some of the party found dead flies in their beds.

  I used a brush and dustpan to remove them and I have to say they could do with being replaced, the brush appeared to have been melted. There were loose tiles on the floor in the main kitchen and the sofa in my room was particularly shabby, looked like a cat had shredded the arms. In the main sitting room the chairs at the poker table were falling to bits and some door handles were secured with only one screw.The kitchen in the west wing has an external door that is very difficult to open and close and the door between the main kitchen and dining room did not close. The steps leading from the pool room to the west wing kitchen had loose edging. The dining chairs in the main kitchen were very wobbly and in need of maintenance. We had young children in our party aged 1, 2,3, 6 and 11 who couldn’t sleep as the temperature in the bedrooms was 16 degrees. Having stayed for a week 8 years ago I was looking forward to returning however was very disappointed that the property was in such a shabby condition. Overall a very disappointing experience.

  Spent 4 days at little Ireland with my husband we both had a great time and felt the flat to be very comfortable and well laid out.

  The welcome tea. Coffee etc was really appreciated it allowed us to have a wee cuppa after a long journey so massive thanks. The only negative was we weren't aware the accommodation was next door to a bar and restaurant as that would never be our choice but we tried the restaurant papa rabs and the food was amazing.. the pub noise was limited and didn't bother us at all. The only other thing is the TV we could only get LG TV which was a tad frustrating maybe option for you to look into as others might like the TV on in the morning or evening when chilling before going out etc. But on the whole we had a fab time and really enjoyed the flat which was done to a high standard very comfortably done with everything you would need.. we even tried paddle boarding which was less than a 3 minute drive away. We liked the flat that much that we left a bottle of red for you to enjoy. Thanks again happy customers we hope to book again soon. Sharon and Alistair.

  What a lovely house, big, spacious rooms clean and full of everything you need, a real home from home.

  Although it was just 2 of us, it's certainly big enough for 8 and it still wouldn't feel crowded. Tastefully decorated with a Scottish charm. 2 log fires, 1 in the living room and kitchen for those cold winter evenings, a traditional Aga stove which was easy to use but for those not brave enough there's a ceramic hob and fan assisted oven. Pizza oven in the outside kitchen and the hot tub were just the icing on he cake. Contact with the owner was easy and she was very responsive when we had a question prior to arriving and during the stay. Round and about there are plenty of walks, amazing waterfalls, castles and historic places to visit. There's a co op which is well stocked 5 mins drive and supermarkets within 15 mins. Not sure if the pub was closed due to it being November but Inverness is 20 mins away and worth the visit. All in all we would highly recommend Orinside.

  We couldn’t have asked for better to spend our Christmas vacation.

  Orrinside is just beautiful, specious, well equipped with lovely decorations up for Christmas. Some fabulous nods to the distillery next door too. We enjoyed cosy nights in with the the log fires burning and even enjoyed the hot tub under the canopy whilst watching the snow fall. The bedrooms were vey tastefully decorated and all 3 bathrooms were spotlessly clean with underfloor heating and towels, robes, slippers and soap available for us all. Communication with Emma was 2nd to none and nothing too much trouble, giving hints and tips of where to go and even giving us advice on cooking Christmas dinner in the Aga and had she even put Christmas crockery there for us to use. I wouldn’t hesitate on staying at Orrinside again next time we are up and will be highly recommending it to everyone!! Thank you from us all for a fabulous stay xxx
