  Just a mini break from the kids.

  A small basement appartment in walking distance of 2 beautiful fishing villages sounded perfect. On arrival we were greeted by a picnic basket containing fresh baked Soda bread and fruit scones with home made jam and fresh picked flowers from the garden in every room. What a warm and thoughtful welcome. The apartment is small and neat and extremely cosy. I wanted to bring the big brass bed home with me. The most comfortable sleep Ive had in ages. The kitchen is well equipped for all your needs and everything is beautifully maintained. Lunch and breakfast in the garden at the rear of the building where there is a picnic table. Lovely neighbours who are happy to share their knowledge of the area. Neither my husband or I drive so been on the main bus route for this part of the North Yorkshire coast was a god send. Trips to Staithes Harbour, Runswick Bay and Whitby were all achieved via the regular half hourly X4 bus. The village is lovely with lots of history, very friendly locals and a small shop and coffee shop in walking distance. Woodland walks with a babbling stream make this destination very picturesque if you appreciate the simple things in life. If you want a cosy romantic weekend break for two I can't recommend The apartment at Mulgrave House enough. There are other self contained appartments for let in the main house above so if you have an extended family but like your privacy, then Mulgrave House would be perfect as a multi booking. I highly recommend it.

  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 quaint cottage in rural Wales and we had a lovely time!

  The cottage was very well equipped, making it easy to feel right at home. The comfy bed was a delight after a day of exploring, and we loved waking up to beautiful views of the countryside. It was a bonus to have a friendly dog and even some chickens wandering around, adding to the rustic charm. However, a couple of things to note: there were some ants in the room and shower, so a bit of extra care might be needed there (but I imagine this was a one off and was quickly seen to). Also, be aware that the location is quite remote — charmingly so! — but you might want to avoid taking an older car down the narrow lanes leading to the cottage and around the area in general. All in all, a great spot for a peaceful retreat if you’re prepared for a bit of adventure!

  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

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Twigs and were very happy with everything provided.

  Jim the owner kindly left us a bottle of wine, fresh milk and some chocolates which we thought was a nice touch. He also came to see us during our stay to ensure everything was satisfactory. On a minor issue we did point out to Jim the directions were a little confusing because there was a pull in at the turn to Woody Bay which did have a National Trust marker opposite and we thought this was the car park referred to in the directions. This should be clarified for future guests Should the opportunity arise we would be happy to visit Twigs again..
