Dear Mark and Sadie
We had a lovely holiday at Windyhill. The cottage was comfortable and of course the views are amazing.
We were able to relax and recharge our batteries.
We had good weather, which was a bonus. We have all come home sunburnt!
We had a particularly nice day at Garvie Bay where our son and daughter snorkelled (in wet suits) and our son caught three big Pollock with a speargun which we ate for supper. We were the only people on the beach!
Another nice day was spent on the cliffs at Reiff where our son and daughter climbed the cliffs, with all the right gear of course, ropes etc!
On other days we also had a cycle ride , walked the dogs on Achnahaird beach and fished from Badentarbet pier where we caught mackerel for lunch.
We drove up to Ichnadamph to walk to the Bone Caves. This a lovely walk up a glen to the caves which were on the side of the hill and well worth the effort to get there.
We have come to this area most years since our children were little. Now they are grown up, (22 and 24 years) they still want to come on our family holiday. There is so much to do in an area that is unspoilt and so beautiful.
Thankyou
Phil, Ruth, Ross and Sarah Kirton

Mark,

We had a very enjoyable visit. Primarily we were after a location where we could base ourselves for some sea-kayaking, rock climbing, walking, cycling and eating, Windyhill was ideal.

The Summer Isles is a great sea kayaking destination well known for it’s sheltered waters almost free of tidal streams. Sea Kayaking is growing rapidly in popularity and could be another potential market for you. Old Dornie is a great launching site. Reiff is a well known rock climbing area with routes to suit all grades.

Dear Mark and Sadie,

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Windyhill in one of the wettest and windiest weeks in May! The weather did not make the slightest dint in our enjoyment, in fact in some ways being in the cottage in such conditions almost enhanced it. We looked out on the storm in all it’s glory and loved seeing the fresh snow on the far mountains that we had visited the day before. The cottage was beautifully equipped, having let our own cottage we know the amount of work/money it takes to set up a good cottage like this so that it feels like home. The design is superb and the view just breathtaking. The comfort was also very high. We particularly appreciated the Sealy mattress in our bedroom, so often when you go to holiday accommodation this is something that is skimped on, as someone with a bad back who sleeps on a Sealy I heaved a sigh of relief when I sat on the bed. The sofas and chairs were also very comfortable. John sorted out a problem with the water very efficiently and pleasantly.

It was so rough that we could not get out to the Summer Isles so we may well be back and Tony’s hip will be fit for the proper walking we were unable to do this time.

Many thanks,
Fiona

P.S. We also loved the eclectic choice of music and tried almost everything!!

Hi Mark,

We had a great stay, thanks, much helped by the endless sunshine (lucky!) and excellent kayaking around the Summer Isles and Lochinver, which was our reason for going to the area.

Windyhill proved to be just what we were looking forward to. The big space upstairs is great for a holiday. We enjoyed being able to walk to the pub and Reiff easily.

The WiFi was a useful bonus to get weather forecasts from the Met Office.

Hello Mark,

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

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,
