  I had a one week holiday in Iola cottage in 2023.

  The owners next door were friendly and helpful, answered me within minutes if I texted them. The cottage is in an excellent location next to Loch Ness and main roads, yet quiet and peaceful. However, I am very keen on cleanliness and unfortunately, I found a few not too clean cutlery and plates in the cupboard, as well as empty shower and shampoo bottles and soap boxes in the bathroom. (I use always mine ones anyway, but I thought these are not only for decoration) Also, the mattress was too soft for me, but rather in the middle, like something a bit of a worn out. These are things that can be easily improved and I'm sure, some of them was already spotted. The WIFI also wasn't too strong, but in the shade of the mountains sign is weak everywhere, and because I was away most of my days, it didn't bother me too much. In spite of all these I had a fantastic week, I could easily reach out every attraction which I wanted to see and try. Loch Ness is about a 10 minutes walk from the cottage and even to walk to the lake and back there is an amazing view from the road. The garden is perfect, the view from the balcony is fabulous, I spent some evenings on the balcony to sip a glass of wine and enjoyed the peace and harmony. All in one I can only recommend this place.

  A fantastic location for a week's break exploring Dumfries and Galloway.

  Very comfortable accommodation in which, everything worked. Good WiFi, smartTV, cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, and well equipped kitchen. Right I'm the centre of Gatehiuse of Fleet, minutes walk from supermarket, shops, cafes, Mill, pubs and restaurants. Once inside, very quiet and comfortable location No allocated parking spot or garden, but even over a busy Easter weekend, we never had a problem parking on the street and there is a free car park opposite. There are parks and woodlands literally on the doorstep, so we did not miss a garden at all. Fantastic longer walks from from front door, so you needn't use the car at all if you don't want to go further afield. Very warm welcome and easy communication with the owner. Definitely recommended.

  We love this area and already have two different cottages booked for later in the year. This was an extra getaway so we thought we'd try somewhere else. We like Monreith for the sandy beaches at low tide and the St Medan golf course. Tigh Samhradh attracted us as we had seen it being redeveloped. We were not disappointed. It was beautifully presented and equipped. We hope to return at some point. However, there were only two of us and our dog and we felt it might be a bit too cosy with four adults staying as the second bed is a sofa bed in the living room. Although we stayed in February with sunset before 6pm and this will be less of a problem during the summer with everyone out enjoying the wonderful walks and scenery.

  The shower head jets were mouldy.

  It needs taking off ad asking in Milton - legionnaires. The towels didn’t dry properly because no heated towel rail and no towelling bathmat supplied. Privacy film on bedroom window onto car park would mean you could use it in the daytime without having to have the blackout blind down & light on. No Wi-Fi, but did know that, also poor phone signal. We found bed & pillows really uncomfortable. Job painfully slow to heat up. Can appreciate because of flood risk why investing in better might not be an option. Appreciate fire doors, but very heavy. Great location and local amenities which made it really. Without them, it was OK, adequate, but won’t be going back.

  We had a great stay at the cottage we stayed for 6 nights,it is well equipped with everything you need -the welcome pack was much appreciated as were the fresh eggs from the hens There is a table and bench outside in the garden which is nice on an evening to sit out We cycled part of the great Glen way-climbed Ben Nevis and visited the Isle of Skye amongst other trips The cottage is well situated for all of these things and the village is only a 30 min walk with a couple of pubs a few cafes and takeaways and a well stocked coop Overall we had a fantastic stay and would definitely return if we were in Scotland Thank you
