Thanks for your feedback. We are staying at the cottage ourselves immediately after your stay and we are pleased to say the area has been totally silent in the evening and night apart from one of the Tawny owls making itself heard ocassionaly. We've noted your concern about the double bed, and whilst we personally find it very comfortable, we appreciate that bed comfort can be a very personal preference, We've ordered a replacement hybrid pocket sprung/memory foam double mattress to arrive later this week to match the new mattresses in the twin room.

Simply perfect!

The best views over Lairg and down to Loch Shin, very quiet. Great for bird watching :) We enjoyed our stay tremendously and Judith was always available for questions and concerns. Didn't get to see the hedgehogs - but fed them nonetheless. We would love to return anytime!

From arrival to (unfortunately) departure was in one word great.Beautiful clean house, with all amenities.Also wonderfully quiet, with a magnificent view.made many trips, including Dunrobin castle, and to Ullapool, where we arrived too late to make a trip with a rib, (fast speedboat) to spot dolphins and whales.Drove further to the very tip of the UK.in short, this week was perfect,Thank you Judith.

Restful HQ for Our Highlands Visit

Lairg is quiet hamlet off the beaten path but accessible to the roads needed for journeys into the beautiful Scottish Highlands. The home was equally quiet and a lovely retreat. We cooked every night but one and enjoyed the restful spaces. Since I’m quite tall, a larger shower would’ve been great but that’s a small quibble. We loved it. We’d come again.

What a wonderful place!

The cozy cottage with the magnificent view of Little Loch Shin not only really has everything a holidaymaker's heart desires, including wonderful tour suggestions and friendly animal visitors in the garden. In addition, the nice town of Lairg with its supermarket and restaurant is the ideal starting point to explore the Highlands in all directions. It doesn't matter which direction you choose, whether on foot, by car or by train, and whether you want to travel for two hours or a whole day, it will definitely be beautiful. Our highlights were the waterfalls at Lairg and Golspie, driving through the Highlands to the lighthouse at Stoer, visiting Duncansby Head and driving to Loch Shin and on to the west coast. But e.g. Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle can also be reached in two hours. And with Dunrobin and Carbisdale Castle two magnificent castles are just around the corner. We enjoyed every day! And the spectacular sunset over the lake was a daily experience from the sofa or kitchen table. The weather also played along. And on the hottest day ever on the island, we enjoyed the sun in the north at a pleasant 23°. Benmore Cottage was the cornerstone of a dream holiday! We recommend the house unreservedly! Thanks!

Thank you for your kind review, written in perfect English. We are very pleased you enjoyed your holiday, and thank you for letting us know about the places you discovered whilst in Scotland. The hedgehogs ate very well. Thank you for feeding them. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Schönes Haus

Bei dem Haus handelt es sich um eine Doppelhaushälfte mit sehr netten Nachbarn. Die Zuwegung zum Haus geht über einen Waldweg und ist etwas schwierig zu erreichen. 1 Woche Sonne.
