Thanks for sharing Windyhill with us, we had a great time and the weather didn’t let us down, most days we were out and about with short sleeves, sitting in the hot tub after a long walk at the end of the day was very relaxing. We used some of the recommendations in the guest book and walked either left of right from the bottom of the drive, we were never disappointed with the views, terrain or wildlife we saw…..including the otter we watched for quarter of an hour less than 5 minutes’ walk from the house. Bagging Stac Pollaidh and a drive up to Kylesku took care of another couple of days

The house is great and I can see why it is so popular, the open plan space is well laid out, we liked the arrangement and thought if we planned a house it would be good to have it this way. In the evenings we spent almost all of our time in front of the large windows watching life go by…..the lambs in the fields below were very entertaining, we only felt the need to light the fire on a couple of evenings but I can imagine how cosy the house would be on a winters day with a great view, a dram and a roaring fire!

We would have no hesitation is using Windyhill in future and hope it won’t be too long until we’re back.

I’ve added a few small snaps below, if there’s anything you like or would use on the website I can forward as attachments in their original size, just let me know.
Thanks again and take care

Donald & Valerie

We had a great time at Windyhill thank you.

The accommodation and facilities at Windyhill were all of a high standard, suited our needs well and everything was very well prepared for our arrival.  We particularly liked to open plan upstairs which avoided the “cook for the night” being isolated from everyone else whilst preparing meals (so if you are commissioning any more new holiday properties in the future, the open plan architecture is a big plus in our opinion).  Also, of course, the view was great.  The beds were very comfortable and linen also a high standard.
Best wishes,
Keith Thomas and family

Dear Mark & Sadie

Thanks, really enjoyed our stay. The house was very spacious and comfortable.

Appreciated the walks and , forest cycle trails on our doorstep. Kids made full use of the playpark down the road and we struggled round the hilly Glenlivet 10K!

Thanks

‘We struck gold on our first trip to Wester Ross. My husband had been trying to persuade me to holiday in Scotland for years, but me, always in favour of a luxury holiday somewhere sunny had always resisted! How glad am I that I relented eventually. The house itself is a beautifully finished new build equipped with all you need for a relaxing break. Views across the crofts and sea to the Summer Isles are mesmerising as you watch the Scottish weather change from hour to hour.
Equipped with a full entertainment system with music and film library on tap, TV’s in all bedroom, there’s something to fill the time whatever the weather.
The furnishings are modern and elegant and the addition of a hot tub , infra red sauna and the option of an in house massage all make for a top quality luxury, almost spa like feel.
After a day exploring the area coming home a little ‘wind worn’ to a hot tub, sauna and log fire really relaxes. I’d recommend the walk to Culnacraig and back, a drive to Lochinver for a quick pie at the Lochinver Larder and then a brisk walk to the falls at Inverkircaigh.’

Best wishes

Dear Mark & Sadie,
Apologies for our delay in feedback. Stac Polly Cottage is a fantastic building and the interior we found most comfortable with very high standards. The kitchen was extensively furnished with all utensils required and more. We very much like that you have recycling amenities , this is most helpful. The Hot Tub was excellent especially at the time of year we chose to be there , in the snow.
We found the under floor heating very cosy and the wood burner was excellent too.
The views from the cottage are uninterrupted, which makes for an amazing view. Nice to see the sheep grazing too. Lovely to get away from the city and see some real landscape.
A very great idea of having a library of media, fantastic.
Look forward to returning in the near future.
Fantastic idea of having an Executive Apartment in remote Scotland.
Best Wishes Carol & Grant.

Hi Mark

Just managing now to catch up on emails.

We had a great time at Locholly, the house is first class and so well finished and equipped with everything anyone would need.

The hot tub was great we spent most nights in it and also the infra red sauna I found to be so much better than a normal sauna, so much so im trying to get Mrs Stewart to buy me one.

If anything you could lower the fence in front of the hot tub by half so you can see the sunsets better whilst sipping ones champers……..

We would like if you could send us the discount voucher you mention in your email, as we would like to visit the cottage again.

Anyway great cottage, we loved it hopefully we will get back up soon.

Kindest regards

Ian Stewart

Hi Mark, We had an absolutely wonderful holiday at Locholly. The house is first class – we have stayed at many properties in that area, but yours has been the best. The quality of everything was top notch and the homeserver system was brilliant (including your choice of music).

The sauna and hot-tub was excellent, and those were actually what swung the booking for us, as we had previously stayed in a house along at Altandu called “Laide of Reiff 244″, which was also top quality, but they do not have hot-tub and sauna, so we decided to come to yours and we’re so glad we did. Thank you for allowing us to share your piece of heaven, and we WILL be back when we are able.

Regards, David and Pauline Hutton

Hi Mark
Happy new year and I hope the skiing with the family was really good for all.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Locholly, what impressed more than anything was the attention to detail and that all services, fixtures & fittings were of the highest standards. It takes a while getting used to relaxing but my memories of gazing through that first floor window will last until my next visit!! I reckon I fell asleep once but my family would disagree.
I have no problem in recommending your property to my family and friends in fact I am already doing that.
Kind regards and all the very best for 2012.

Phil

Hi Mark and Sadie

I just wanted to say a big thank you for our stay at Stac Polly, the house and the surroundings were beautiful.  The house especially was very welcoming and tastefully done.  We all enjoyed the facilities of the house.
We took up your recommendation for the Fuaran Bar, and booked a meal there on the Saturday night as it was Jim my husband’s birthday and had prearranged a birthday cake.  The food, service and setting was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our celebrations.
Once again, thank you and we had a really lovely time.

Hi Mark,

Just e-mailing to let you know how much of a great time we had at Stac Poly, thank you so much for letting us stay, I had a great time with my parents, sister, husband and son for my 40th birthday and of course New Year!

We hope to be able to return at some point as the peace and quiet along with the walks are just brilliant!

Well done for creating such a special place to relax in, I will certainly recommend the cottage to my friends.

Kind regards and Happy New Year
Suzanne McAdam.
