"This house has spectacular views over the sea. It is spotlessly clean, comfortable ,warm, well equipped and appointed. Its position is raised above the seaside village of Gardenstown which is accessible down a steep road. The description lists a woodburning stove but the owners would prefer you used smokeless fuel (available from the fuelstop garage before the bridge in McDuff if you arrive Saturday after the coal merchant has shut). We were staying early in the season so most of the local amenities in Gardenstown were not yet open (hence the 7). There is a spar 300 metres away for the basics and towns within 20 minutes drive with shops and supermarkets. Within an hours drive either side there are distilleries ( with tours and tastings) , dolphin centres, locally landed fish shops, seal beaches, gannet and kittiwake colonies. fishing villages etc. There is plenty to do and Ruach provides a cosy base camp at the end of the day. If you are travelling with children or like to be connected, download all your entertainments before you go ( they have provided freeview television DVDs Blue rays and a cd player) . There is no Wi Fi and the 4G is limited, but that may be exactly why you choose this property. We were there for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it ."

"This cottage has a beautiful location nestled under a hill beside a fast running river feeding into a sea loch through a Victorian stone bridge. It is in the village of Poolewe with a useful village shop and post office and a Tuesday market. The hotel in the village does reasonable food and has a busy bar if you want a break from cooking. You can also walk to Inverewe Gardens which is run by the Scottish National Trust. It's not cheap but the garden and house are amazing.The cottage is well equipped and heated if the weather turns. It is very clean and well presented. It is a good base for anyone with a dog. You can step out the door and go on a fantastic six mile walk round a remote loch in the Letterewe estate. It is also 10 minutes from Gairloch which has a bookshop and coffee shop as well as a mini market and an small farm shop with some hillwalking gear if you forgot some kit. There are some great beaches as well as hill walks.PS Special thank you to the caretaker who came out at short notice after a long day at her work when there was a glitch with the wifi."

"Lovely location sitting up on a hill from nearby Inverbervie. The view from the end of the driveway down to the coast is wonderful. The cottage is well equipped with cooking utensils, washing machine, dishwasher (with tablets in cupboard), microwave and cooker etc. There was milk in the fridge, some tea/coffee for an arrival cuppa and a packet of shortbread. The three bedrooms were comfortable, the upstairs bathroom looked a bit tired but was perfectly functional. It was warm and cosy. Converted from the former school there is plenty of character with high ceilings and large multi-pane windows. Very peaceful location. The Grassic Gibbon centre is next door. The historic St Ternan's church is a short walk away (the final resting place of several of my ancestors) with the memorial to Lewis Grassic Gibbon. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, there are many fabulous beaches to explore and plenty interesting and historical places to visit."

"Over Blairish Cottage is the perfect place for a wonderful holiday in central Scotland. The location of the cottage is very private with stunning views but still within a short drive (10-40 minutes) there are so many opportunities not only for lovely river, wood, loch and mountain walks but also for visiting sights like the Dewar's distillery, castle Menzies, the Scottish Crannog Centre, etc.The cottage itself is full of character and the eye for detail gives the cottage just that little extra to set it apart from others, the welcoming package even included treats for the dog.Our favourite place in the cottage has to be the small conservatory at the front of the cottage. We started every day in the conservatory enjoying not only our breakfast but also the amazing views and the wildlife."

"We had the pleasure to be the very first guests in the recently modernised apartment. Everything was new. A number of items were missing. We immediately adressed those things with the landlord and he sorted it all out in a quick manner.The apartments in the Courtyard are best for visitors that intend to explore Scotland by train. Inverkeithing railway station is situated within walking distance and offers frequent train connections (Edinburgh is served every 15 mins in a 22 minute journey). We made excursions to Dundee, St. Andrews, Pitlochry, Perth, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Our first floor apartment had three windows out onto the High Street, which offers an interesting view. Landlord and his house keeping team are very friendly helpful."
