“We had a wonderful week there in the cottage which is a converted barn. Our Hosts David & Fiona could not have been more melcoming, with a bottle of chilled wine in the fridge, a home made cake and even treats for our dog on arrival. Throughout the week they were very helpful with good knowledge of the area and good places to visit. We have already booked to return in early April next year as it is so good. 10/10.”

“Chalet accommodation provided by Susa & Roy Macleod of Baddidaroch, Lochinver is easily the best we have come across. Clean, comfortable and great attention to detail often missing elsewhere. Add to this spectacular setting and you have the perfect holiday venue, reasonably priced too.”

“I have shot at quite a few clay pigeon shooting grounds over the years usually with an instructor. This year I shot with Mr Munro and Mr Gray from Rothiemurchus. I have to say that the instruction, facilities and general warm attitudes of both are at a level way above the norm. They are truly outstanding and clearly very knowledgable. I cant wait to go back.”

“Loch Shiel boat cruises - went in late march, very few tourists, no midges, a great guide, really friendly, knowledgeable, showed us where to spot divers and eagles, as well as the spectacular Loch Shiel Highland landscape. ”

“Top marks to this tiny establishment in Lochinver which remains open throughout January - a real life-saver for cold and hungry travellers. With every other eatery closed for miles around, it's a very welcome oasis. ”

“Always a friendly wee shop, but letting you taste the clementines before you buy is definitely going the extra mile. You don't get that service from those dreadful supermarkets. Once again a reminder that Comrie in Perthshire has some super little retail businesses that deserve support.”

“Secret Scotland planned a 9 day custom itinerary for me--and it has been the best thing I've done in my traveling life. I feel like I've had a friend in Scotland tell me what I should do and how to do it. Mike and Aurelia have been prompt with their correspondence, thorough with their information and a joy to work with. If I ever get to make another trip to Scotland--the first thing I would do is contact Secret Scotland!”

“After a not-terribly-friendly experience at a large establishment not too far away, we stayed overnight at this hotel and it was very re-assuring to find the staff here refreshingly friendly and sincere, especially the reception staff. The food was excellent and featured many Scottish favourites - a genuine piece of Scotland to be cherished..... ”

“WOW!! What a place. I recently stayed there with my husband and had the most amazing time. There is so much to do and see, we both went on a horse ride at Mains of Taymouth Stables then had a game of golf on thier lovely Kenmore Golf Course. In the evening we ate in The Courtyard and on one night we had our dinner delivered by them! I spent a lot of time in The Courtyard Shop, nearly done all my Christmas shopping. All the staff were very firndly and went out their way to make us feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Great memories, will be back!”

“My fiancee and I decided to try clay pigeon shooting for the first time and we found ourselves at Rothiemurchus. We had a fantastic experience during the time we were there. We not only had expert tution from John, our instructor, but had a great time too. Thr facilities are also second to none. In terms of knowledge and how to try and train us John was fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try clay pigeon shooting.”
