HI MICHELLE AND PETER      

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT A FANTASTIC HOLIDAY WE HAD AT HILLOCKHEAD.

THE DOLPHIN COTTAGE WAS WELL UP TO OUR EXPECTATION AND THE VIEWS WHERE SPECTACULAR.

ON THIS TRIP WE WERE UNLUCKY NOT TO SEE THE DOLPHINS BUT OTHER EVENTS MADE UP FOR IT. IF YVONNE AND THE GIRLS HAD THEIR WAY WE WOULD BE UP AGAIN NEXT WEEK, THEY LOVE IT UP THERE. WHILST WE WERE UP THERE WE MANAGED TO TAKE IN THE SITES AROUND THE OTHER SIDE OF LOCH NESS UP FROM FORT AGUSTUS THAT IS NOT COMMERCIALISED AND THE VIEWS WERE SUPERB. THE GIRLS ENJOYED HAVING THE ANIMALS AROUND BUT A WEEK IS JUST NOT LONG ENOUGH TO TAKE EVERYTHING IN .

THANKS AGAIN FOR MAKING OUR HOLIDAY A HAPPY AND FRIENDLY ONE.

TAKE CARE  MARTIN, YVONNE AND THE GIRLS SERENA AND ALISHA.

Hi

Sorry-with rushing to get organised to leave we forgot to write in the visitors book.

We had a fantastic holiday-the cottage was perfect-the most well equipped we have ever stayed in, and the views truly magnificent.

The weather was very kind to us-and we managed to see the dolphins on our last day!

Too much to see in one week-we will definitely be back,

Thanks again,

Nicki and Simon Bane

Dear Michele and Peter

We've been back for a week now, but every day think of the lovely time we
had at Hillock Head.  I know that the sunny weather was by chance, but the
rest of it was down to Hillock Head and the comfort of the cottage.  You
made us feel very welcome - thank you.

With best regards

Hi Michele

Just a quick note to say I am sorry we didn’t get a chance to meet at the weekend – we were out and about a lot!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Chanonry. My Mum was right down memory lane as my Grandma and Grandad lived in Cromarty when my Grandad was Town Clerk in the sixties.

We went to see their house at Bayview and had lunch at the Royal Hotel where my Mum and Dad used to go for a wee night out when my brother and I were being looked after by the grandparents!

We also enjoyed a visit to Hugh Miller’s cottage which my daughter found fascinating as she loves crystals and fossils. We didn’t make it to Eathie beach to do our own fossicking – maybe next time.

We also had a fascinating trip to Culloden on the anniversary of the battle. There were flowers laid at every Clan gravestone and beautiful wreathes at the Cairn – it was really quite moving.

A few trips to Chanonry point too – although the dolphins didn’t oblige, we enjoyed walking around the point in the gale. It certainly blows the cobwebs away! And, on the way home, a trip to Landmark for Christina and Daddy to go on the flumes – not me or Mum!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the cottage was extremely comfortable and very well equipped – you had thought of everything!

We hope to be back again for a longer break – thanks again.

Hello, I am sorry it has taken me a week, but I just wanted to let you
know what a fabulous week we had in the cottage.
Thank you for the up-grade to the Chanonry, it was a stunning cottage and
Ross loved having the whole of the upstairs to himself. Mind you he spent
most of the time he was upstairs asleep, the Black Isle air definitely
knocked him out!!
Thank you also for the advice about the car when the snow came in, we were
so glad it snowed, the scenery was out of this world, even I had not seen
anything like it before really, let alone Ross. He loved it.
I'm sure we will be back again we fell in love with Rosemarkie.
Thank you again,
Clare, David and Ross. xx

Sandy & I and Uiseag (the dog) had yet another wonderful New Year break at
Hillockhead.  Just what we needed - peace, tranquility and doing nothing, if
we wanted!!
Michele, Peter & family, again, made us feel as if we were at home.
Can't wait for our next visit.
