We had a really super long weekend break at Glenisla Escape. Our 3 generation party group had a blast! My elderly Mum absolutely adored the countryside, the visits from friendly chicksand the fab Peel Farm coffee shop and gift shop. The ‘youngsters’ dashed off to the loch side beach with their picnics, loving the farm trail and making friends with all the animals. We middlies relaxed in the Jacuzzi and just enjoyed the peace. Dining al fresco, we were entertained by the show of house martins - pure bliss!
