  This was one of the best holidays we have ever had as a family.

  The booking process was easy and very convenient with payments split up which was so helpful. We received very pleasant and clear communications regarding arrival and departure. The cottage was so clean when we got there (including fridge and oven etc) that we genuinely felt we were the first people to stay there. It was warm, welcoming and so comfortable. Absolutely everything had been thought about from bowls and treats for the dogs (and treats for us too in a little welcome hamper) to soap and toiletries, salt and pepper, butter and milk in the fridge, cloths and kitchen towelling, dishwasher and washing tablets etc, etc, etc,. It would honestly take too long to list everthing that was there! There were books and games too. The neighbours were lovely and it was a 5 minute walk to the most beautiful beach which our dogs loved and we walked there every night and every morning. The best thing of all, however, was the lovely communications from Debbie. She made us feel so welcomed and that if we had needed anything at all, it would not have been any trouble. We spent some of our time just planning how quickly we could go back. 5 stars is just not enough and we could not rate the property or the owners highly enough.

  We had an excellent weeks holiday at Challenger Lodge which we found ideal as a base for exploring the North coast of Scotland.

  Our party consisted of three adults and one dog and had plenty of space since the accommodation sleeps up to 9 persons. Challenger Lodge is spacious, well appointed, classily decorated and clean. The property is set in a secluded location with open views out to the loch and surrounding hillsides yet only 5 minutes by car to the town of Lairg where there is a Spar supermarket, fish & chip take away, hotel with bar and petrol station. There are several local wooded walks, both on the estate and in the local area with one good walk to a very private Loch Craggie along a logging road. A welcoming pack of basic essentials was much appreciated on arrival and the owner Shanta, who was visiting the estate during our stay, thoughtfully brought a dog bowl, dog bed and dog treats. We will be looking to make a return visit in the near future with other members of the family as the property is excellent value for money.

  We were greeted by a warm and cosy cottage, very handy welcome basket as we had forgotten the tea bags.

  We were a party of 3 and found there was plenty of seating and room. The 3 bedrooms were great as we all had our own space. The beds were comfy and we all slept really well. The cottage is quiet and dark enough to see the stars. The garden is dog proof which was a real bonus, with walks on the doorstep (there is a lovely half hour round walk by the cottage) but also an area for a quick trot round surrounded with fence so safe for families to let kids out i think. The owner Guri was informative and on hand. Though she lives next door there was no noise and the stay was entirely private. There is a lovely covered decking area outside we had warm drinks but I would imagine glorious in the summer as an extension of the living space. A great place to stay and we will use it again when we are in the area family.

  Perfect retreat for escaping the rat race.

  Secluded but close enough (5 min drive) to local village for supplies, fuel, chips! etc.. Perfect base to travel out from to explore the Highlands, in a week we managed Castle of Mae, John o Groats, Loch Ness, Inverness, Dunrobin castle, the North coast road to Durness, Glenmorangie Distillery. Barn owl was a regular visitor, we heard the deer around but they were too shy to show their faces. Property was spot on, enough hot water to fill Loch Shin, WiFi all over the house fast enough to feed several Netflix hungry tired offspring with more gadgets than NASA .. So much space inside that the 8 of us could find seclusion when needed easy enough. The only downside was leaving, will be back again as soon as I recover from the 10 hour trip from the Midlands..

  Dourie Farmhouse was the perfect accommodation for our family. The house was very clean and spacious and all the rooms were a very good size with plenty room for everyone. Great large kitchen for dining and getting the evening started. The outdoor space was fantastic and we made great use of the Hot Tub. The weather was particularly cold, windy and rainy so we didn't make any use of the outdoor sitting area, but this looked amazing and on a warmer day, would have been great. The village doesn't have a huge amount to offer but was nice enough for a walk, but you are very close to other great places to visit. We went to Port Patrick, 40 mins drive away. Lovely place. So please book here as you wont be disappointed.
