We finally got the chance to stay at Hillview

We finally got the chance to stay at Hillview for a whole week instead of weekends. So nice to stay here for a holiday rather than just to bring curtains or drop off cleaning products. We really enjoyed reading other peoples comments in the guest book. We got some great ideas about where to visit or walk.

Saw a great painting in the Gallery in Tomitoul of a place called Crovie. So had to visit it while we were here, it's East of Banff, takes around 1hr 30 mins to drive there but well worth it. I row of about 50 houses nestled at the bottom of a cliff. Not enough space for a road. Locals have wheel barrow their things along the path.

Although there has been enough snow we didn't get a chance to ski as we have two children under 2, but did get to do some sledging in Aviemore on the way up to Cairngorm Mountain.

Most of the week we just enjoyed the house gives us the opportunity to see if everything is working fine and if there are any improvements that need doing.

Agree with previous comments about a shower over the bath so this should be installed in the next few weeks or so.

All the best for 2008 and we wish our future guest have a wonderful stay.
