  Hubby & I loved our stay at Rionnag Lodge; Terry & Janet's attention to detail is second to none!

  Immaculately clean & fresh on arrival, where everything you could possibly need, (and more,) is provided. We recieved an extremely generous welcome hamper, (which was very much appreciated & enjoyed throughout our stay). This place really is 'top notch', & then some! We watched the Northern Lights dance and enjoyed several melting sunsets over the Minch & islands from the balcony! The warming wood burning stove, lifts the spirits on dismal, drizzly days and the outdoor facilities, (hot tub & waterfall shower,) are a welcome treat after a rigorous walk, or long day out sightseeing! Sadly, we didn't have time to try the fresh seafood, (courtesy of host Terry, who is also the local fish guy,) but we did sample the tremendous steak from local butcher - Ken Morrison, (Gairloch); so good, we went back for more the very next day! Gairloch is a wonderful community, well served by the farm shop, butchers, Gale community centre, book shop, (and much more); all of which - we thoroughly recommend. So, to the property itself - a shining star, (Rionnag means star,) in the Wester Ross firmament! Staying in this house is like recieving a week long hug! Giant, wooden bath you can float in! Waterfall shower. Under floor heating. Flumptious towels. Cosy dressing gowns. Tremendously comfy bed in the feature bedroom, (can't comment on other beds, as we only used the one bedroom.) Spacious & luxurious accommodation. Every mod con, (including coffee maker & hand blender, for soup making)! Stunning location. Peace & quiet. Fabulous service all round; 100% recommend . . . only sorry we had to leave a day early due to work commitments . . . we will be back!

  We went to Screel View for a bit of recuperation, after a very trying few months, and we absolutely achieved that aim. Relaxation, with a gentle hike down to Kippford for a cup of tea, was what we got, in the most beautifully furnished lodge! The photos of the cabin/lodge, and the area, really don't do it justice. When looking at the photos, you can't hear the silence, or smell the fresh air, or feel the soft carpet in the living room :-) The quality of the furniture and all the fittings is excellent, and every little detail has been considered to make a short stay perfect. The kitchen's beautifully equipped, and the hob and oven are a joy to use (not often I can say that about a holiday let!!). The beds....the mattresses are incredibly comfortable, not too hard or too soft, and the bed linen and pillows are top notch. I could go on and on ....probably best you just check it out for yourselves ;-)

  The chalet was very clean and had everything we needed.

  It was very quiet and had nice views across the valley from the balcony. We saw red kites flying overhead and were told of red kite feeding everyday the other side of Strathpeffer. Sheep, chickens and highland cattle were all seen in the fields by the chalet. It was a bit tricky to find initially but the friendly host quickly came out and lead us there and explained all we needed to know about the property. We enjoyed the welcoming wine and chocolates very much. We were lucky enough to be around when Castle Leod was open to the public. It was very interesting and worth a visit. There are many walks in the area and scenic drives and a distillery at Muir of Ord just down the road. Rogie Falls to see the salmon leaping was another highlight. Loch Ness was easily accessible and we managed a day trip to the Isle of Skye with a lovely drive through the mountains.

  Rionnag Lodge was beautiful to stay in for the week.

  The house had everything we needed and the lovely hamper and Prosecco was very much appreciated. The house was spotlessly clean, lovely furnishings and has magnificent views. We met Terry a few times and he was lovely, very friendly and welcoming. The fish was delicious as well - thank you! The surrounding area is lovely, pebble and sandy beaches around, lovely lighthouse, great little shops in the village a short drive away and everyone we met was very friendly! The Farmshop, Info centre and cafe and the museum were all great. We’d love to go back after Easter another year to take advantage of the kayaking, horse riding and boat trips on offer but we got an amazing week this year with exceptional weather and a very laid back atmosphere in the village. Thanks very much for our holiday, we’d absolutely recommend!

  A wonderful place! Recently home from a quiet festive break in Screel View, a beautiful welcoming & spacious lodge in a great location. Cosy, clean and well equipped. The lodge sits high and from the balcony, a stunning view. The most relaxing place. The festive and personal touches including the Christmas Tree and Welcome Hamper - thank you Barbara! With elderly folk we did require a car to get out and about….there is lots to explore. My husband and I took the forest walks direct from the door to scenic Rockcliffe and Kippford….at the latter we can highly recommend the quaint waterfront cafe The Ark. Communication with the hosts/owner was excellent. We are looking to head back to explore more of the area. For sure Screel View is the place from which we will do that. Thank you, we loved it!
