A November stay was never meant to be basking in sun but this stay was beautiful, the weather was lovely, dry sunny days and crisp autumn nights sitting outside watching the stars and sharing the evening with elegant stags and sheep that wander on by the front of the old school every night and are completely unbothered by human presence. So peaceful yet exhilarating. We had to leave a little early as our dog was ill and needed vet care but we so enjoyed the 5 days we spent here and we are looking forward to next year's trip at elastic cottage.
We had another fabulous stay in Pier Cottage. The staff kept us comfortable and safe during the storms. You can't beat the cosy log fire inside and rain and wind outside!the colours on the estate are truly magical at this time of year. Lots of different walks to do. We didn't go.out in the car at all! A super place to recharge and rest. Already booked for next year.....twice!
The Seaview Cottage experience is unique. We felt very lucky to stay is such a remote, beautiful place. You cannot fail to recharge and feel deep peace during your stay. We arrived at the start of storm Boelo and the result was no electricity. Even though it was for a short time- living with an open fire, a gas camping stove and candles was wonderful and forced us to be still and appreciate where we were. The staff checked in continuously and achieved a balance of support and yet they were not intrusive at all. It was good to know that they were always at the end of the phone too- be...more
We had a wonderful stay at The Gate Lodge and everything was clean and well furnished. The views are stunning and as it was late autumn we had mixed weather but the cottage was warm and cosy. The walks are lovely with so much wildlife. Thoroughly enjoyed the Boat House restaurant too. Just a minor gripe is that perhaps more cutlery would be helpful even though just 2 of us. Would have been annoying with 4 guests! All in all a super spot and can not recommend highly enough if you want peace, quiet and beauty.
This was our second visit to the estate. Love the location, especially for being able to see such a lot of wildlife so close up. We saw an otter in the bay opposite the house; didn't see any eagles this time but it was really raining all week. Highland cattle came for a visit most days to 'mow the lawn', one even strolled past the patio doors. Most exciting is the visits from the pine martens every evening as these wonderful creatures are so rare to see in the wild; but not here!!. The weather was very wet but made for amazing waterfalls and the Autumn colours on the estate were spectacular. ...more
Dear Kingairloch Team! We were absolutely blown away by the natural surroundings, the house and the philosophy behind the estate. It had everything one could wish for: the cosy dining and living room, the bedrooms – we felt right at home straight away. And above all, the unique open-air cinema, the conservatory: one natural spectacle after another unfolded here. We were completely satisfied and didn’t want to leave at all. Thank you to the team, the hunters and the assistants. It was an unforgettable experience. The cuisine in the boathouse was also a real treat for the taste buds. We wer...more
Could not fault anything about the stay. The accommodation was amazing, the setting absolutely stunning. Exactly what we wanted for a family getaway, remote, beautiful and so close to nature. Nothing was too much for the staff on the estate, friendly and quick to respond. Would highly recommend
We arrived a few days before storm Boelo was due. The owners were excellent, kept us updated regarding the storm. The power went out for 1 1/2 days and they left us 3 bags of logs, kindling, a camping stove with gas, candles and a torch. We had the best time ever playing Cards against Humanity by candlelight. The wildlife was amazing, red deer stags, golden eagles, highland cattle, seals and more all amazing to see just outside the door. Yes, we have booked for next year.
