Just a quick email to say how very much we enjoyed our stay at Rose Cottage. It was very cosy, warm and comfortable. The views from the cottage are lovely, we are really missing them as we are the Pine Martin and the array of birds which visit the garden. Our walks round Laide Wood and the surrounding areas were a real treat.
We are hoping to return in the not too distant future so for now thanks once again for sharing Rose Cottage with us.
With our very best wishes, Lynn and Colin.–
We arrived home from Laide yesterday evening having had (yet again) a marvellous week. Weather was mostly good and we managed a couple of evening barbecues on Mellon Udrigle beach.
It really is a most fantastic part of Scotland. Garden full of green and chaffinches, great, blue & goldfinches. Look forward to going up there again – sooner rather than later. (Fantastic to come to a self catering cottage where the knives work). Philip.
Just to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay in Rose
Cottage. It really was lovely and the weather was nothing short of wonderful. I hope we can repeat this another year. Kind regards, Barry

We must congratulate you on such an excellent Cottage, beautifully appointed and fitted out. We think of all the ones we have stayed in over the years, yours is by far the best we have used. On top of that the weather so far has been kind to us as well!
