The Bottom Line

Pre-Trip Service

Jane instantly understood what we wanted and delivered a truly bespoke holiday, with the perfect balance between self-drive and guided itinerary. She responded to our queries promptly and accurately and followed up when necessary to make sure we were able to have the best possible options for our trip. She also had a good eye for details and was flexible when we asked for alternative arrangements. My only recommendation would be to send final trip details earlier as 3-5 weeks leaves little time to make changes if necessary.

Trip Comments

Both our guides, Sarah in Edinburgh and Martin on Skye and Lewis&Harris, were top notch. Sarah was an outstanding story teller and Martin was a great travelling companion. He was also very knowledgeable and was able to adapt the hikes and daily schedule to changing weather conditions and to my mother's ability. He quickly felt became part of the family. On Harris, the wildflower walk and picnic, the pint at the brewery, the hot chocolate on the beach and the delicious cake at the lighthouse, as well as its delightful owners, stand out in particular. We also loved Kinloch Lodge and the Bonham (though the 'garden' rooms we were given there were cold and offered no view).

Accommodation & Food

Please see my previous comments on the Kinloch Lodge and the Bonham. I also loved Inverlochy Castle, however the service in the lounge areas and at their affiliated non Michelin star restaurant (the Factors Inn) was a bit disappointing. We slept very well everywhere and most hotels with no elevators tried to make sure my parents had a ground floor or first floor room, which is great. The Ness Walk hotel in Inverness was also fabulous, with very welcoming staff, however we were surprised that we could not get anyone from reception on the phone when we tried to let them know we would arrive later than expected.

Your Guide

Please refer to my earlier comments. Both Sarah and Martin were fantastic. Martin in particular went over and beyond. He shared many tips for the rest of self-guided trip, which were very useful, particularly walks on the Orkneys.

The Bottom Line

A wonderful trip, that completely delivered on our expectations, with beautiful landscape, rich heritage, bespoke hikes, heart warming people, outstanding accommodation and the perfect balance between adventure and rest. Thank you!

Pre-Trip Service

Rachael listened to our interests and preferences and made helpful suggestions.

Trip Comments

The organization of the trip was flawless. All reservations, tickets etc worked perfectly. Our driver/guide, Mungo Ross, was excellent. We got to see and do everything we wanted to do. Special highlights were the tour of the distillery on the Isle of Raasay and tea at Balmoral Castle. Also seeing the bust of Admiral Thomas Cochrane.
