Amazing stay at Windyhill

August 24th, 2010

Hello Mark and Sadie

Words cannot describe my disappointment and saddness as the way I felt the day we drove up the single track road for the very last time, it actually brought tears to my eyes.

We have had such a fantastic and amazing stay at Windyhill, the sight of Porpoise in the bay at dawn and dusk just fantastic, Stack Polly we conquered the entire thing and the views from the top just blew us away (quite literally), the food at the pub 5 * the locals very freindly even the pubs dog came with us to Polbain stores one morning!!!!! much to my sons amusement!!!.

We managed to fit in more activities than we anticipated, and didnt even mind the drives to and from civilisation because the scenery was just immense, we even saw a real life mole run accross the road on are way sea kayaking one day Mark my hubby held up the traffic while he ran up the mountain to photograph it as it was such a rare sight for us!!!

Our days filled with exploring and our evenings spent playing Scrabble and Monoply ( i hasten to add that I wipped both boys every time!!!!!!) seated in that glorious window view with the setting sun over the Islands.

The weather (although I packed for the worst of) was just beautiful all but one day!!!

You really have set the bench mark astronomically high with this location its going to take some beating!

Thank you so much for making this the holiday stay of a life time, we would love to come back next year.

Sally, Mark and Liam.

Big enclosed garden was great for the dogs

March 22nd, 2010

The week we had at Windyhill was great. All the snow and ice had cleared for us arriving which made travelling much easier. The cottage itself was fantastic and having a big enclosed garden was great for the dogs – the lab loved running about exploring all the different trees and bushes. There were also great beaches nearby for them to get a good run. The locals were very friendly and helpful and there was loads to do in the area. Would gladly return again to explore what we missed.

Thanks

Lovely holiday home in Scotland

March 22nd, 2010

Dear Mark and Sadie,

We wanted to say thank you for renting us your lovely home in Scotland, Windyhill. The comfort was much appreciated, the views unforgettable.

It was everything we imagined it could be…we arrived exhausted from work and spent a wonderful week relaxing and enjoying the location.

I hope we can come back again next year ,

Best wishes from Francis and Julie Subash, Groesfaen,

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Windhill Holiday Cottage

December 9th, 2009

Hi,

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Windhill. Possibly the nicest cottage we have stayed in. It ticked all of the boxes. The weather was very mild but we still used the stove a couple of times when rain kept us in. Stac Pollaidh was conquered (not to the very top though). The direct road route to Lochinver was a bit nerve-racking but worthwhile.

We explored, walked, ran, bird-watched, took photos of the spectacular landscape and generally chilled-out. I watched Great Northern Divers from the cottage with my own telescope, along with a couple of Harbour Seals.

Many thanks. We would love to return.

We believe that you are having another cottage built. Can you let us have any details please?

I am attaching some photos.

Regards,

Steve and Jackie Edwards

We had the most amazing time at Windyhill

December 8th, 2009

Mark

we had the most amazing time at Windy Hill – The house is stunning and the view is unreal- We found out that to stay in the cabins in front of the cottage was almost the same price as Windy hill so either they are over priced or windy hill is underpriced ! We where out and about most days so I’d be more than happy to send you some pictures. We had the room with the en-suite and I really couldn’t fault it. For your information the White House cottage at Pitlochary was a good half way stop over if a group of people are travelling with dogs in tow – It’s next to a really nice pub- the accomodation is fairly basic but it serves a purpose and was reasonably priced-

We had a great meal at the Farran bar – It might be a good idea to inform people that they should book in advance if they want seafood out of season so that Catrina can get it in from the local fishermen

Will be in touch with pictures

Kind regards

Cassie

We had a fantastic time at the cottage

October 13th, 2009

HI Mark,

Sorry to not get back sooner.

We had a fantastic time at the cottage, so much so that we’ve booked again for the same week next year. The cottage is one of the best we’ve stayed in and the visitors book was a mine of useful information about things to do & see in the area. The highlight of the week was climbing Stac Polly in low cloud cover and coming across a pair of golden eagles soaring in the white out on the top .
