What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a very helpful email from the owners the day before we arrived which was very informative and welcome.

  Although we had an enjoyable week at the Doocot and its proximity to to the beach is fantastic - there are some things that need to be addressed for the comfort of future visitors. With a weekly rental of £1k we would have expected a little more and doesn’t stand comparison with the more expensive property we stayed in the week before in the Cairngorms. More wine glasses required - there were 2 - one huge, 1 small. No tea pot. More small tables required in lounge - nowhere to put a mug/glass if using sofa in front of tv apart from on the floor. The TV needs to be properly connected so you can if you wish, watch mainstream tv easily - eg the Scotland v England game last week was inaccessible No visitor book. Presumably it is intended to plaster the wall around the fireplace? The fridge is too small, it will be difficult/impossible for many to access without getting on their hands and knees. It didn’t seem to us to keep things v cold - eg a bottle of wine had to go into the freezer. The property description needs to make it clear that there is no parking immediately by the property- this would be a significant problem for some; as would the very steep stairs. Both would be beyond some people

  O my word !

  This bungalow is absolutely STUNNING. It is spotlessly clean and huge inside, with everything you could wish for to make for the perfect holiday. All the contents of this bungalow are of a high quality and just beautiful. The bungalow has so much space inside it too. Great safe parking on the large gravel front/drive .The garden is also lovely with a huge hot tub and fantastic under cover area with a table & chairs & BBQ, we used it every night to eat our meals. The bed we slept in was really comfy and the shower was huge and lovely and powerful . We loved the table tennis in the garage it was great fun. The village was gorgeous with plenty of little walks from the door. We can't really express with words just how beautiful this bungalow is. We have stayed in many beautiful cottages over the last few years but O my.......this one just blows them ALL out of the water. Thank you Evelyn for letting us stay in your GORGEOUS bungalow. We really appreciate all your hard work that you must put in to this wonderful bungalow. Loved all the art work too. Best Wishes Stuart & Julie x

  The property's well situated with great views.

  Decoration and finish of the property inside leaves alot to be desired, with flaking paint on walls as well as evidence of what looks like mould in the dining room, caused by dampness in wall. Bathroom upstairs decorated in a hurry. Shower screen leaks onto what looks like MDF boarding which has swollen. Heating perfectly adequate with lots of hot water. Blinds in dining room don't shut properly so lack of privacy in this part of the house otherwise pretty good. Good selection of books and game's etc. Sorry to see at least 7 dead millipedes around the accommodation including 2 in the game's drawer !! I would like to note that the interior staircase was difficult for myself as I have mobility problems, I'm pleased to say I managed alright taking extra care. The carpet in the bunk room was stained and has seen better days. Outside area was pretty good. I didn't intend to go in with a crical eye but it could be so much better if issues were addressed and it was given the finish it deserves.

  Excellent accommodation, very spacious and with high quality fittings.

  Good location near to shops, and lots to do in the surrounding area. It was only two of us staying so we had plenty of space, but even with 6 people in here, it's a lovely size of a property with plenty amenities for larger groups (e.g. two fridges!). Having the hot tub was lovely (with robes to wear out there) and watching fireworks from it was an absolute treat. The host was incredibly helpful with questions I had both before arriving and once we were there. The only two small things (very small, we had an excellent week) was that it was a little chilly on arrival (though I wonder if that was because all of the windows were opened for cleaning it because of Covid) and the hot tub wasn't heated up on the evening that we arrived. We would definitely stay again though, highly recommended!

  Our recent visit to No 11 was just fantastic and we could genuinely not have wanted for any more.

  Its not often that you find 3 double rooms with 3 separate bathrooms and for our group [ 3 couples ] this was great. This property is Immaculate, with everything that we could possible have needed. The spec that the owners have provided is top class. it's location is spot on for trips out all over the Highlands. We managed to travel over to Aonach Mor, Fort William and Glencoe, up to Ullapool via Dornach, Bonar Bridge and the Geopark on the Northwest 500. Across to Eilean Donan Castle, Kyle of Lochalsh and up to Portree on Skye, as well as locally to Drumnadrochit, Castle Urquart, Fort Augustus and Inverness. the Hot tub was brilliant for relaxing in after a days exploring and if you turn the lights off the Milky Way is breath taking. Already looking at booking up again
