The Potager Reviews

Karen
Great location for a very relaxing holiday. Beautiful, clean and well equipped. Scenery from the living room was amazing.
Peter
Beautiful, cosy accommodation in a tranquil location on the shore of Loch Ewe. This was our second stay and every bit as good as the first. We enjoyed some lovely walks right from the cottage door as well as others from just a short drive away. We never tired of looking out over the ever changing view of the loch, watching a grey heron and a grey sRead moreeal fishing regularly and an otter briefly one evening, as well as a couple of stags grazing very early one morning. Would not hesitate to return. Hide
Ann
What a wonderful week we've had! Possibly the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in - everything you could need. Lovely views, awesome sunsets and extra special to see otters in the water in the evenings!
Alan
Lovely property in a beautiful and peaceful location. A bit too remote for us as we discovered and unfortunately the weather was atrocious so we chose to leave after only 4 nights.
Donald
Third visit here in four years and it never ceases to attract due to its peacefulness. The property has literally everything visitors could want from picnic equipment, folding chairs and of course, the hot tub. There's a TV of course but evenings were spent gazing out of the doors at the wildlife on Loch Ewe. Watch for otters.
Laura
Beautiful accommodation (with everything you need and more) in a stunning location - we cant recommend it highly enough.
Anna
The Potager has it all, great views, well equipped and comfortable. Plus a hot tub! Our second visit here and we really hope to be back. Thanks.
Wendy
The Potager is absolutely gorgeous . So well equipped and a beautiful location. We see Otters and Seals right from the Lounge window and whilst enjoying the hot tub! We came away feeling very relaxed but equally could have stayed for a month! You could not be disappointed with this. Note if you go in winter months, most places are closed so you wilRead morel be doing the cooking every night. Great shops both in Poolewe and Gare Loch, however, with everything you could need food and drink. Stunning place! Hide
Robert
Stunning location - sea, wildlife, mountains, walks, road trips, and an epic log burner if the weather is inclement or you just want to chill out with a book and glasses of wine.
Alisan
Knowledge of the disabled access suitability would be helpful. We believe the owners have previously asked for this to be highlighted. Fortunately the owners were very accommodating in changing our booking from the Write's Retreat to the Potager.
Iain
We had an excellent stay at the Potager. Owners very friendly and helpful, would recommend.
Anette
Perfect location, wonderfully cosy living room with a most spectacular view across the Loch and a great wood stove, great bedroom with plenty of drawer and wardrobe space (and coat hangers!), fully equipped kitchen with the fastest induction hob ever, even a freezer. Fantastic walk-in shower, lots of towels supplied as well as bathrobes and slipper s, and the icing on the cake: the hot tub. Can't recommend it enough!
Susan
We had an amazing holiday at this fantastic property. Location and view were brilliant. Found plenty of quiet roads/tracks to cycle on and were really interested in the WW11 history of the area.
Kevin
Just returned from our trip to the West Highlands and a week at the Potager. The accommodation was perfect. The owners have thought of everything. We really loved it and hope to return in the future.
Anna
We have just returned from a week in the Potager. This was the most well situated, well equipped and comfortable place. It was warm and cosy, the hot tub was ready for our arrival and the owner was quick to come over and introduce herself. We were made to feel very welcome. Just sitting in the lounge or on the deck you will see so much; otters, sea ls, eagles, oystercatchers, curlews and magnificent skies. also so peaceful with only a few cars passing by (in April at least) an hour. Perfect.
Mark
What a great place .Our second visit here and we enjoyed it even more. Its so well appointed. The owners have thought of everything. If you want to get away from it all and relax, this is a great place. Seals swimming by , every evening! The view, is tremendous. Nice walks, it was fab!
John
all great; lovely location and quality finish
Robert
Idyllic and away from the hustle and bustle. Great for hill, mountain or coastal walks, watching the wildlife or just hunkering down with wee dram or two and a book whilst just watching the ebb and flow of Loch Ewe and its resident Poolewe seals, otters and abundant birdlife.
Dorine
Perfect retreat for two, use it as a base to explore the area or just to relax. The hot tub makes it extra special. Cozy and all creature comforts you can want or need.
Carolyn
Potager is simply stunning. Its location and first class accommodation were delightful. Looking forward to our return visit.
Alan
Nothing to improve - really loved our stay
Donald
Everything supplied down to plastic picnic boxes and washing machine and dishwasher tablets. Plenty reading material and advice on walking in the local area readily available. Sitting room really comfortable and a wood burner was available girl colder periods. Fully functional kitchen with EVERYTHING supplied. Lovely basket of 'goodies' left by the owners ans a bottle of wine in the fridge. All cleaning materials and ironing equipment in adjoining cupboard along with recycling facilities.
John
The best we can say is this is our second visit and we will be visiting again. First class (5) accommodation, location and scenery, complete with great hosts and an excellent on-site cafe at Pool House.
Melanie
Absolutely fantastic
Helen
Fantastic place, views are amazing, so well equipped and such a warm welcome, we really hope to return for a third time.
Andrew
The Potager became our home away from home for a week in March 2022. The entire cottage was immaculate and well thought out to make the most of the space and create a comfortable, homelike feel. It was warm, bright, and clean. The kitchen was well equipped, the living room was comfy and had great views across the loch, and there were excellent guid es on things to see and do. Also, the bed was the comfiest holiday bed we've ever slept in! We can't wait to return!
Nigel
Had a wonderful 4-night stay. The cottage is wonderfully placed with lovely views over the bay and lovely walks on the doorstep. Spotlessly clean and every need catered for - wed definitely recommend to anyone looking for some peace, quiet and relaxation in a beautiful part of the world. Hot tub experience was superb!
David
Absolutely loved our stay. Wanted to stay for several more weeks! Such a beautiful place, so quiet and peaceful to sit by the wood stove and watch the weather and birds. Very clean, cozy, and new. Hot tub was actually hot! And the host was so friendly and helpful. Beautiful walks in the Inverewe gardens and around loch kernsary right out of the fro nt door. Highly recommend.
Mark
What a great place. The owners have thought of everything. We had a thoroughly relaxing time . Top quality fixtures and fittings. The bed, the most comfortable in the world! Highly recommend. The views, the nearby walks. Even the local Chinese takeaway was fab. Fantastic place.
Terry
The Potager is perfect in every way, the location of the property right on the waters edge, the top quality furnishings and comprehensively equipped kitchen, we loved it all. So many places to visit and fabulous walks from the door step.
John
Outstanding location and beautifully appointed. This place is kitted out with everything you could possibly need. Can't turn your head without seeing some kind of wildlife and good places to eat and drink within fairly easy reach (even in the winter). Can't recommend it highly enough!
Robert
Idyllic location with stunning views over the loch. Mountain walks, beaches and wildlife all adjacent. A tranquil place to relax.
Andy
