  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

  Stunning

  The house is stunning, very impressive and well maintained as is the grounds around the house. Beautiful location with spectacular views and walks. The house has 7 bedrooms all en-suite and tastefully decorated. The beds were so comfortable and additional camp beds added for kids if required and plenty space to do so. Everything was really nice and well looked after. The towels are lovely with nice products in the bathrooms. Graham cooked dinner on the Saturday night and it was exceptionally good. The service and attention to detail was perfect. The girls that worked with him were lovely and so efficient. He is an excellent chef, well worth spoiling yourself and have dinner made for you. I honestly cannot rate this experience highly enough. We didn't want to go home! The owners, Graham and Elizabeth are fantastic hosts who should be so proud of what they have achieved.

  The perfect place for all of us

  You do not have enough stars to rate our experience at Ross-shire Hall. The home is beautiful. The ambience is so peaceful and calm. This home is completely and fully equipped with any and everything you can possibly want, including three baskets of toys for our toddler. We were a four generation family. This was the perfect place for all of us. All three fireplaces are relaid every day for beautiful fires in the evening. The grounds are lush and beautiful. Graham prepared dinners for us every evening, and provided soups and sandwiches for lunches. The food was unforgettable. If you want to experience how royalty lives, please visit. Elizabeth and Graham will take care of everything and make you feel like kings and queens. I cannot say enough. This is by far the most memorable experience any of us have ever had at a BNB.

  Myself and my partner have just had the best week ever.

  The cottage was perfect in every way, this has been our favourite holiday cottage that we have stayed in. The cottage has everything that is needed. It was clean comfortable, and had incredible views. I loved, just sitting, looking at the views, the sheep in the next field and all the birds. We sat and watched kites hunting, as the cottage is situated high up on the hillside, we were actually looking down on the kites. We could hear lots of different birds including cuckoos and Owls in the evening. This cottage is a hidden little gem, and is a lot better than the pictures show. You have the seclusion plus about 15 minutes away from shops and other amenities, including a huge Tesco’s. We would go back in a heartbeat. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
