Mrs Paterson
October 2020

“The owner of the cottage was fantastic.”

On arrival, we met with her and got a quick tour around the cottage. Not only was she lovely, she had left a lovely little welcome pack of some Scottish treats & milk for a cuppa. The cottage was very clean and tidy, and so very cosy. The village itself is very quiet, but there are plenty of things to do, not too far away. We needed a break to relax and recharge the batteries. Job done!

Mr Lamb October 2020

“Had a fantastic relaxing weekend at Stonywood Cottage, we were met by Hester who was very welcoming and gave us some good ideas about walks and other things to do in the local area.”

Lovely welcome package on arrival for us and our dog Otto. The cottage is lovely, particular highlight the log burning stove in the living room. Would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing break away.

Mr Cork September 2020

“Excellent - the cottage was beautiful with lots of lovely homely touches.”

Excellent location, just opposite a good pub and a short walk into the village. We would definately recommend to anyone. From a covid perspective, everything was spotless.

Miss Graves September 2020

“Really good communication before our trip from the owner of the cottage.”

She advised us on the best walks and places to eat and the must see's for when we are away. The cottage was very comfortable, a lovely welcome pack when we arrived, it just felt like a home from home. Bedrooms very comfortable, lots of storage for the 4 adults that were with our party. Beds comfortable. Kitchen well equipped, living room also well equipped. Lovely holiday all in all, would definitely recommend!

Mrs Elliott September 2020

“The cottage was incredibly clean, comfortable and homely.”

Well equipped kitchen, bathroom and lounge. Comfortable beds and the blinds covering the windows work well to block out the morning light. Owners are very helpful and we felt that they cared about us having the best possible holiday. There are lots of activities, for all age groups, to do within easy distance of property. Local pub does excellent food and there’s a small but well equipped supermarket within walking distance. Has to be one of the best holiday cottages we’ve been to so far.

Mrs Allan August 2020

“Lovely stay and the cottage had everything we needed.”

Ideal place to come back and relax after a day of adventuring. Lovely welcome pack on arrival for us and our puppy.

Mr Bacchetti July 2020

“Fantastic accommodation.”

Finishing touches were greatly appreciated. Plenty of complementary extras and guests staying at this property were well and truly thought of.

Mrs Allman July 2020

“The cottage was excellent - perfect size for a family of four.”

Very clean and all details taken care of - would certainly recommend to friends. Hester the host was extremely helpful and accomodating, providing useful information and answering any questions that we had. The cottage contains everything that you need for a self-catering week, although there are nice restaurants and pubs close by too. Local supermarket is less than a five minute walk.

Miss Davison November 2019

“Beautiful cottage.”

Clean, comfortable and lots of welcoming extras. The owner is super helpful and accommodating. The location is perfect for sightseeing, walking and scenic drives, the local pub/restaurant is amazing and there is a garage and small supermarket close by. Can't recommend more highly!

Mr Baron October 2019

“Nice enjoyable stay, accommodation had everything we needed and more.”

Lovely lo action with good services on the doorstep.

- Mr Baron, October 2019
Mrs Bradley October 2019

“The cottage was warm, clean and comfortable and superbly located.”

The host provided us with a lovely welcome pack, logs for the wood burning stove, and when she knew two of our party were in the Highlands for the Loch Ness Marathon, a bottle of bath salts which were much appreciated. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area for the comfort of the property, hospitality of the host and the superb location of Drumnadrochit.

- Mrs Bradley, October 2019
Mrs Mathieson September 2019

“Our 2nd visit to Stoneywood and it was lovelier than we remembered.”

Hester our host had left the cottage immaculate and cosy with fresh flowers, candles and a fabulous welcome pack. We felt very much at home and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The dogs especially loved the treats Hester left for them together with the toys, it is a great location with local walks minutes away from the cottage. Can't wait to return to this home from home and the wonderful location in this part of Scotland.

- Mrs Mathieson, September 2019
Mrs Silvanus-davis September 2019

“A fabulous and well presented cottage in a wonderful setting with glorious walks, beautiful countryside and all the warmth of the Highlands and it's community.”

Attention to detail, cleanliness and welcoming touches for ourselves and the dog made it a comfortable home from home and a wonderfully relaxing experience from start to finish. Hester is the perfect host. This is definitely a case of ' Haste ye back' and we shall....

- Mrs Silvanus-davis, September 2019
Mrs Castellazzi August 2019

“The price of the cottage jumped from around 700 pounds to 900 pounds during the day I needed to book my flight tickets.”

I really disapprove on this sort of marketing and although the cottage was very nice, I'm really not sure I'll book another time using your platform.

- Mrs Castellazzi, August 2019
Mrs Lister August 2019

“Very high standard cottage, ticks all the boxes re location, cleanliness and comfort.”

Nice thoughtful touches with fresh flowers, welcome pack and information on the area. Books, games for children. Dog friendly. Local Inn very good for food.

- Mrs Lister, August 2019
Mr Pugach August 2019

“Sometimes during a trip, I want to feel the care and comfort of home, in this cottage we were at home well.”

Great cottage with a very convenient location. Nearby there is a pub and a supermarket. Each room has its own style and zest. We were very grateful when, after a long journey, we arrived at the cottage late at night, and there we were expected not only comfortable rooms, but also products for preparing dinner. Every corner of this cottage breathes care and attention to guests. Thank you :):).

Stores and eateries close by if needed. Stoney wood is exceptional and has everything necessary for an enjoyable holiday.

- Mr Hall, March 2019
Mr Howe November 2018

“The online pictures of the cottage did not do it justice.”

Beautifully set up, furnished and well positioned. The location was perfect for a walking holiday, it was very close to a lovely pub with very friendly locals and the owner had a made a real effort to make sure it was very welcoming. When we revisit this area in the future, this cottage will be our first thought. It was a real home-from-home.

- Mr Howe, November 2018
Mrs Hunt November 2018

“I booked this lovely cosy cottage for my husband and I to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in November 2018.”

It ticked all of my boxes and expectations. The cottage had everything that we needed and the owners were so helpful and accommodating in ensuring we had a lovely time. A welcome hamper was left for us with a bottle of wine, very thoughtful. We were so close to Loch Ness, Fort William and we had a lovely relaxing time in the cottage as well as seeing all the sights. It was out of season when we went but we actually preferred that as it wasn’t busy with tourists so we could leisurely travel and view the areas and a plus the weather was sunny with a chill in the air. The only very small negative was that the drive is at the back of the house and if you have a big car (which we do a large 4 x 4) then you could struggle to get it in the space, however the neighbour in the corner was lovely and said that we could park our car on his driveway each night, I mean how generous is that. Lovely cosy cottage, lovely owners, beautiful inside and out and exceptionally lovely, helpful neighbours. I would highly recommend hiring this cottage if you just want to get away and see the Scottish Highlands and of course Nessie :)

- Mrs Hunt, November 2018
Mr Carbray October 2018

“We loved our time at the cottage.”

Miss Bernard September 2018

“All the little things that Hester has in place, is absolutely tremendous, welcome pack.”

Lovely flowers, walking suggestions and all the home from home comforts. Plenty games, books and DVDs. Feels like home the minute you walk through the door. Loch Ness inn 2 min walk excellent pub and great food in the restaurant. Cafe 82 just a few mins walk if you fancy a coffee, service in both excellent. Fiddlers restaurant excellent also. Will definitely be back to Stonywood

- Miss Bernard, September 2018
Mrs Corke August 2018

“Hester and Paul go out of their way to leave little touches around the cottage to make you feel sowelcome from fresh flowers to dog treats!”

“The cottage was great.”

The owners had left lots of goodies for all including the dog. Everything we wanted was there and more. Great location for a short walk to the local shop. Shame the local inn did not allow dogs in. Great walks very close. We had a lovely holidays day but did not see Nessie!

- Ms Turner, February 2018
Mrs Rembkance February 2018

“This cottage was so lovely and the welcome package from Hester was lovely and so were all the little extras.”

We had a great week and we could not believe the weather was so kind to us when the rest of the country was in shut down The information of all the beautiful places around was so helpful from Hester We will hopefully return to this cottage next year as there is so much to see around this area

- Mrs Rembkance, February 2018
Ms Burton December 2017

“Fabulous cottage; cosy and cute.”

Great location. Wonderful welcome pack. Exceeded our expectations. Fantastic!

- Ms Burton, December 2017
Mr Howells December 2017

“This is a lovely cottage, very well equipped with all the comforts of home.”

Everything is top quality with no expense spared. Hester, the owner, is very helpful and she left a welcome pack of wine, milk, oatcakes, biscuits and sweets. This was in addition to tea, coffee and everyday basic necessities such as cooking oil, salt and washing-up liquid; all very useful and often overlooked. The location of the cottage is ideal, a welcoming pub literally a stone's throw away and a short walk to a well stocked mini supermarket and a rather good fish and chip shop. There are many lovely woodland, mountain and lochside walks nearby and it is only a short drive into Inverness, which has all the facilities you would expect of a major centre of population; a very pretty city too. I shall definitely make the 9 hour drive back to Stoneywood Cottage for another holiday soon.

- Mr Howells, December 2017
Mrs Semple October 2017

“Excellent cottage.”

Owner very helpful and left a welcome pack for us...including wine! Good location for visiting Loch Ness.

Mrs Archer September 2017

“Had a fab week in this lovely cottage.”

The extras for the humans and dogs was a lovely thought. We have stayed in this area for the last 10 years, but not in a self catering cottage, one of the best holidays. Will defineatly book again.

- Mrs Archer, September 2017
Mrs Jennings July 2017

“The owner left us a nice welcome pack, filled with some nice snacks and drink.”

It was a surprise to find such generous treats in the cottage. The owner made us felt really welcomed. The cottage was very cozy and beds were very comfy. It’s like home from home. All in all we were very happy with our stay.
