Stay at Dunvegan

Stayed at this property with a group of friends recently and had a brilliant time!

In particular we loved the sociable middle floor with kitchen/ dining/ living space and balcony. The house has excellent facilities as described in the advert, the whole place was pristine clean, and Jan and Donald were great to deal with. Easy to get in touch with and very welcoming on arrival providing lots of info to get us started.

The house is close to the lovely beaches on the east coast and we visited 4 different ones during our stay. We tended to stay in for meals in the evening so the stunning kitchen and the BBQ were appreciated and enjoyed.

Big thanks and hope to be back!

Got back from our 4 night stay on Sunday and miss it already. Once you see this place you will not want to leave. The spacious rooms enable lots of people to be under the same roof without getting on top of each other. The layout of the kitchen, dining and sitting area was perfect for our large group. Plus, the weather was good enough to use the outdoor barbeque area and balcony. Thank you Donald and Jan - we had a ball!

We were first to arrive our friends following on a little later. Donald was there to greet us and show us around the house; we were truly delighted as the photographs and description do not do this place justice.

The rooms are large, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The bathrooms were modern with wonderful little touches like music at the touch of a button and shower heads the size of dinner plates! We were delighted when we saw the living and kitchen area; the windows and balcony looking out onto a beautiful view was the first thing we noticed; then we saw the sitting room, with three sofas, great tv and lovely decor and the gorgeous (really gorgeous) kitchen with the best of facilities.

Up the next set of stairs...pausing to admire the garden on the way; two wonderful decked seating areas, BBQ, lovely plants, an amazing marble table and chairs which looked more like an art installation than actual seating...the kids loved it. Upstairs was the other three bedrooms, all lovely (the boys room, as we called it, slept 5 easily) with a gorgeous family bathroom with loads of windows to let in the light.

When our friends arrived, they were truly delighted and I got lots of thanks for booking it. We felt really relaxed by the end of our few days there as this is a house to enjoy, to chill in and the kids had so much space, we hardly saw them in the evening as they piled into a room to play or build a den or watch a dvd on one of many flat screen tvs/dvd/Sky (in every bedroom).

Sitting on the balcony with a gin and tonic or coffee, looking at the hills and fields below, the ponies trotting by, the smell of lavender from the two huge pots on the decking, we were very happy indeed.

The nearby beaches at Bellhaven and Coldingham Bay were a must.

The kids were sad to leave though and we promised them another trip soon.

We stayed here for a girls' weekend in May. The house really has the wow-factor, it's even nicer than it looks in the photos. The owners were exceptionally helpful and friendly, which made our stay feel even more special. The house was very clean and well looked after. The main living area is huge, plenty of room for the 11 of us staying there, and the kitchen was very well-equipped. Outside there is a gas barbecue with a few tables and chairs, and there is a balcony overlooking fields and hills - perfect for breakfast in the summer. We would all recommend this house to anyone, and I'm sure we'll all be back! I think everyone wanted to move in permanently. Beautiful beaches nearby for picnics or walks.

From the moment we arrived we all instantly decided we were all coming back again. The house was clean, modern, spacious, well equipped and in a beautiful location with an open outlook. We booked the house for a girls get-together and were extremely impressed. The owners were very friendly and helpful and also left us wine to start our celebrations. We have already recommended this property to others and will continue to do so in the future.

I was so glad to find this house as was planning my 30th birthday and wanted a cool looking modern house with lots of room for my guests.
11 adults stayed here and were all comfortable and very impressed that I had managed to find such a place.
It was brand new, clean, spacious, lovely views and just had an overall wow factor !
Great for old and young,families and friends.

This recently built house is excellent for family get togethers, the size and space allows two or three families to live together under one roof for a holiday or short break and not feel like you are constantly invading each others space. Despite being recently built this house has the feel of something more established with the added benefits of numerous modern luxury items. If you have regular sized houses which become cramped when you have friends and family around then you will love this house, the kitchen is fantastic and gives this house a real wow factor, with it being open plan you can see whats going on whilst preparing a meal and even if you have a few helpers you won't get in each others way. The views from the kitchen, dining area and living room are excellent as there are lots of large windows so even when its too cold and wet to spend time on the balcony you can still enjoy the countryside, wildlife and farm animals. And yes there are Deer. The house is finished off to a high standard and has some nice touches like the wine chillers in the kitchen, the remote control radio in the bathroom & ensuites and the crushed ice dispenser on the fridge. We found the house to be clean and tidy on arrival and loads of fresh towels were provided.

Located very close to the A1 it is ideally situated for exploring the area, we only went as far as Berwick, St Abbs and Eyemouth but that suited us as we were only on a short break. Once we'd had enough fresh air for the day we were all looking forward to getting back to the house to play at being celebrity chefs in the kitchen.

Donald and Jan went the extra mile to make sure our stay here exceeded our expectations, Jan took the time to chat through everything on the telephone before our break and Donald was there to greet us on arrival to show us around. There were plenty of quite recent DVD's provided to help entertain the children and as it was my 40th birthday there was a bottle of champagne in the fridge for us which was very nice of them too.

The weather was good for the time of year whilst we were there however as you would expect for early March it was still quite chilly so we didn't use the garden very often. The garden is terraced and quite deceiving in size being bigger than first impressions lead you to believe.

I would recommend this property to friends and would hope to visit again myself in the future.

There were 11 of us with ages from 6 to 66 and we all enjoyed our stay.
