VISITOR COMMENTS:-
Steve & Jackie (16th August - 23rd August 2008) Flora's House is a most delightful cottage in every respect; we found it had the feel of an old Scottish cottage, it was both cosy and practical. I have stayed in 4 cottages now in Wester Ross and I have to say that Flora's House is the best yet. The view from Flora's House is unbeatable especially at sunset when the Torridon mountains are backlit in a most amazing warm, red glow - stunning.
It was good to have no direct neighbours and to have an amazing view from the front windows; we really felt a part of nature.
In short, the only thing missing was another week ! Anne & Derek (12th July - 19th July 2008)
We really enjoyed our week, despite the daily showers. We had a magic moment one evening when we sat in the sunshine at the side of the bay in Kenmore and watched two dolphins swim right across the bay in front of us. Sarah & Frank (9 week stay - April & May 2008)
Thankyou so much for the use of your beautiful cottage. It was just what the doctor ordered!. So peaceful and such a magical setting. We saw so much wildlife & had a wonderful time. Our stay was a wonderful experince and life has taken on a better hue.
