.......speechless!

The 3 J's Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire
Review Submitted: November 3, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
This cottage exceeded our expectations! The pictures definitely don't do it justice, it is immaculate inside and very comfortable. I can't think of anything I'd change, oh well if I was being really picky I would have liked a footstool to put my feet on in the evening!! The views are literally breathtaking, sitting in the conservatory over breakfast took a long time! We rode our bikes for miles down the single track roads and took the dog running on the beach every day. Well worth the long journey up here!

Cosy and snug in any weather

James & Sylvia London, UK
Review Submitted: October 14, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The owners, whom we have known for years when they owned and ran the award winning Summer Isles Hotel, are charming. The cottage is fitted out to that same high standard with the feel of the home of a family friend rather than a holiday let. The cottage is larger than the photographs had led us to expect with two full size reception rooms and two sizeable bedrooms as well as the sun lounge and kitchen. The weather in late September was, for once, awful but we were cosy and snug with efficient central heating and two log burning stoves - as well as an excellent selection of DVDs! Mark and Gerry have once again set the bar very high.

Dream Cottage

Happy in the Highlands Switzerland
Review Submitted: August 19, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This cottage provided us with a wonderful base to explore the region. There were too many wonderful things to see and do in just one week. The cottage was perfect in every way. The furnishings and amenities are of the highest quality. The location and view are outstanding. The owners are helpful and charming. A home away from home in the Highlands.
