Highland Hot Tub Retreat 1 Reviews

Christine

that cottage was the most wonderful place we could have imagined and it is not common to watch dolphins from your bed .... the view is just overwhelming . And the owners are very friendly and caring, so we would recommend this place any time.

Christopher

Very well looked after, destination fantastic. The hospital was second to none. Wow

Jonathan

Beautiful cottage lovely location cottage very well equipped and lovely wood burner

George

We had probably the best holiday we've ever been on, hands down. We stayed in Shandwick over the weekend of march 15th. The cottage was absolutely immaculate, perfectly equipped with everything we could have required for a lovely holiday. The location is genuinly perfection with so many great walking routes and places to explore. I met Les, the ownRead moreer, on arrival and she was so lovely and accommodating (apologies I was just off a long journey and probably came accross as a bit crabbit). Perfect. Hide

Lyndsey

Wow. The most beautiful location you could ever imagine! We were super lucky to have a sprinkling of snow which made it even more magical. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay and would recommend to everyone

James

The accommodation was excellent, location was absolutely perfect and our host Les was extremely helpful and nothing was to much trouble.

Thomas

OK for 2 people looking for an ideal location but a little short of comfort luxuries as we are a bit older and need a bit more comfort

Kevin

Everything about this property and its location are fabulous. The accommodation is finished to a very high specification and has all you need. The views out over the sea are magnificent and even just watching the weather move across the land and sea is entertaining. The tranquility of the location is perfect. Absolute peace and quiet. Yet, despite Read morethe feeling of isolation, you are a short drive from all amenities. All in all, the perfect getaway. Hide

Kathryn

Bed was comfortable, and was great that a travel cot was provided (with extra mattress) as saved so much space in car and having a highchair. Views were just amazing and hot tub was great, it was a lovely clean pod and definitely well looked after. Pod was very spacious, plenty of room for a weeks stay. although the rug was very dog hairy. the pod Read morewas well equipped had everything we needed. plus robes were provided which is fabulous and all your toiletries for bathroom and kitchen so perfect Hide

Richard

A superb restful destination for a relaxing holiday , the view is amazing and the pods of dolphins are something i will never forget ! amazing skylines at night too , the cabin was very clean and well maintained as were the grounds around it . cant wait to return !

What a wonderful base to see the beauty of The Highlands. The views are beyond stunning, hot tub whilst watching pods of dolphins. Ultimate relaxing holiday, quiet and tranquil. Accommodation was well equipped and comfortable, owners are extremely friendly and helpful. Lovely little welcome basket was much appreciated. Lots of lovely places to visi t and eat, local beach is lovely. Highly recommended, 5 stars all around from us

This little gem is beautifully tucked away on a fabulous farm, the owner Lesley is absolutely lovely, helpful, warm and welcoming. It is stunning in every way, from the amazing views across the cromarty Firth, to the wonderful facilities, and hot tub just finishes it all off. Will definitely return , much too beautiful to not ! Thanks to all, we ha d an awesome time xx

John

The cottage (pod) was fantastic, very well equipped in the most amazing setting looking out to sea. Whilst at Castlecraig, we were privileged to see the Dolphins a magical experience.

Neil

An absolutely splendid 'cottage' and hot tub. Everything was as described or even better. The central heating was freely useable and changes to both temp and timings were easily made. The site was extremely quiet and one wouldn't guess we were on a working farm. There was ample parking, bed linen and deck furniture and if your are in the mood a sma ll fire pit/ BBQ. The bed was more comfortable than ours at home! A big thanks to Les our host, she was so kind and friendly, nothing too much trouble

Iain

Well presented accommodation in a beautiful location. Views are stunning. Everything you need is there. Hot tub was amazing to sit in, in all weathers and look at the view. Had a great relaxing week with my wife, going for long walks with the dogs and seeing the local sights etc. ( Dogs loved it to) Would highly recommend if you would like a relaxi ng break in a stunning part of the world. Thanks for an enjoyable stay. Hopefully be back soon.

Beverly

Absolutely breathtaking views, accommodation ideal, the area has lots to offer, walking, swimming ,surfing, Cycling, Bird watching ,dolphin watching, whale watching, farmyard animals, The surrounding area offers superb beaches and forests, the dogs loved their holiday. After a day of activities the hot tub was a pleasure to come home to, lovely soa k watching the night sky. The family who run the farm are lovely and very helpful highly recommend.

Alana

These cabins are beautiful and the view is amazing. If you are looking for relaxing holiday in the midst of nature then go here, we were on honeymoon and had the most relaxing time, just the reset button we needed. Have came home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated

Debbie

Spent a week here as a base for exploring. The accomodation was clean and all amenities provided for.The view from cabin was beautiful and ever changing with the weather. Bed was comfy and the log burner made it even more cosy. Les was lovely and approachable. She checked the hot tubs everyday which is always a good sign. welcome basket was a nice touch with local products and clear instructions for ametities were very helpful. Lots of walks and beaches nearby to explore. 100% recommend

Paul

Everything was as expected, first class location very relaxing and would have no problem recommending Castle Craigs Cliff tops to anyone looking for a well earned break.Paul

Ian

This accommodation was amazing. We arrived after a long trip and were delighted by everything. The Welcome Pack was lovely and the supplies really useful and, although just there to tide us over, lasted our stay. The view from the hot tub was breathtaking and the gun turrets left from the wars was fascinating - well worth a walk around. The surroun ding area is gorgeous. The only baaaad thing was trying to pass escaped sheep on the way out. I've discovered I am not a shepherd. lol

Oh my goodness, where to start. It was just amazing, the pod, the views, the hospitality of the owner, it was all just more than I could have hoped for, for a Birthday week away. We saw 4 dolphins on our first and last morning between 7:30-9am from the pod, the hot tub was lovely and warm for our arrival, all 4 pods are nicely spaced and feel priva te, the walk from the pod to the ww2 emplacements was also lovely and there are 2 fields of deer a mile or so away. Just fantastic is all i can say!

Kevin

Stunning view and scenery. The hosts are really welcoming and friendly and go out of their way to see that you have everything you need. We had a great holiday here.

Neal

I cannot recommend this place enough. If you're looking for a relaxing time, with an outstanding view of the North Sea, then you can't go wrong here. Sitting in the hot tub in the evening, looking at the stars and unwinding. Close to Tain town to grab supplies and less than an hour away from Inverness if you need something a bit more lively.

Joshua

Super location, Super views. Amazing New Year break.

Kirsty

We had a fantastic week for my husbands 50th birthday there is lots of places to visit or you can just relax and take in the beautiful scenery. These are Beautiful cabins and lots off things provided like tea coffee and lots more. We even managed to arrange balloons and banners for when we got there witch was a lovely spruce. I would definitely go back.

Chris

Fabulous location, superb accommodation, excellent facilities and fantastic views. Plenty of local beaches and forest walks, with stunning lighthouses and nearby distilleries to visit. After a relaxing day out and about is there a better way to spend the evening than in a hot-tub overlooking the moonlit Moray Firth. Great hosts who are available if you need them but are not intrusive. What more could you ask for?

Rachel

Castlecraig is such a special place to stay at, on the cliff edge, overlooking the firth with incredible views & amazing sunrises. The location is great with lots of amenities 20 mins away. Our cabin was not overlooked by anyone & the interior was really well done, with everything we needed, plus lots of lovely touches. The hot tub is excellent, ju st what was needed after a days walking. Cherry on top is the dolphins that you can spot from the cliff edge at certain times of day.

Rhobbie

This was a wonderful accommodation with outstanding views. The staff were great there in a moment if something was needed. Great location for our little minimoon with our little puppy. Only downside was we never saw any dolphins so will need to come back. 10 out of 10 recommend to a friend

JOANNE

Just perfect! Perfect accommodation in the perfect location.

Hazel

Great accommodation in a wonderful setting! Great views and close to lots of wonderful walks and beaches. Les was great and couldn't do enough for our comfort.

Cath

Amazing Outstanding Wonderful absolutely Epic is what these lodges are ! Peaceful and calm is how you feel within minutes of being there ! We honestly cant wait too come back !

Andy

An absolutely stunning location! The pod was spacious, light and luxurious. Having a hot tub in the deck overlooking the Moray Firth was the icing in the cake. We would highly recommend Castlecraig Clifftops to anyone wishing to have a quiet getaway break. A good base for exploring this part of Scotland.

John

Pretty much all you need. The host is very nice and accommodating. Beautiful views nice hot tub would probably book again .

Joy

Excellent In every way. We were more than delighted with the accommodation and the friendliness of the owners. We would highly recommend!

Simon

Perfect place to just take a step back and unwind Absolutely fabulous location, stunning views and locations nearby, accommodation is all top quality and everything is provided to make your stay enjoyable!

Catherine

The cabin was amazing, compact and bijou. Perfect for a couple. Views are stunning of the North Sea coast. Lovely farm to explore. Will definitely return.

Vanessa

We had the most fantastic holiday here in such a beautiful location, watching the dolphins every day from our balcony. The hot tub was such a treat, being ready to use every day. Les was an amazing host, nothing was too much trouble. We visited all the recommended destinations in the welcome letter and enjoyed each day. Would definitely recommend, such a great location to explore the east coast. Our dogs enjoyed the large grassy area and snuggled up by the log burner each night.

Christina

Absolutely beautiful cabin, very clean and new feeling. Welcome basket was very much appreciated. Views from decking and inside cabin were gorgeous, saw dolphins most days. Very private area, other cabins didn't feel close at all and windbreak/privacy screen attached for hot tub. Visited various beaches and walks nearby by car, very dog friendly, c lean and beautiful. We don't tend to go to places more than once but highly recommended to friends and would definitely stay again.
