Guests say

Holly House receives high praise for its spaciousness, cleanliness, and stunning location, with guests enjoying the luxurious touch of a hot tub, sauna, and beautiful views. The property is well-equipped for large groups, offering both privacy and communal spaces for relaxation and socialising. The surrounding area is perfect for outdoor activities and the property is appreciated for its homely feel and high-quality finish.

Guests consistently mention the property being clean and tidy upon arrival, indicating high standards of cleanliness. One minor criticism about the hot tub's condition slightly affects the score.

The property's location is frequently highlighted for its amazing views and proximity to local attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the Highlands or relaxing amidst nature.

Reviewers find the house comfortable and warm, with a cosy fireplace and high-quality linen, suggesting a very comfortable stay for guests.

The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen, sauna, and hot tub, are highly praised. However, a single mention of the hot tub potentially not being cleaned lowers the score slightly.

Guests appreciate the welcome pack and the owners' helpfulness, reflecting thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, guests should note that such personal touches, while common, may vary.
