Windyhill holiday CottageHi,
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 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
