    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Claire - Verified booking

      We had a lovely stay at the cottage.

      We've stayed in cottages before where we have had to take all essentials with us so we turned up with our own towels, dog bowls & bed, washing up liquid, tin foil etc to find most of it (not washing powder/tin foil/cling film) was provided for us which was a lovely surprise. The kitchen is clean and airy, there's dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer and all the utensils & cooking apparatus we needed. A lovely gift basket was left for us with treats for us and our dog which were very much appreciated. The living space is large enough for a family of 5 and the bedrooms are light and airy. There's an additional lounge upstairs for any teenagers who may want private time or to use as a playroom for smaller ones. There is a downstairs bedroom and the only bathroom/toilet is downstairs making this easily accessible for someone with mobility concerns. Parking is outside the front door which is also great! The garden was well kept but isn't fully enclosed with access down onto a small pebbly/sandy strip on the firth. You can walk along for about 10 minutes but we didn't explore further out onto the flats as it looked muddy and we didn't want to risk getting stuck. The location is great for peace and quiet but there are no amenities in Jemimaville. Cromarty is probably the closest village and it has a lovely beach and playing field, a shop, bakery and some gift shops. Would highly recommend the pottery. A short drive takes you to Rosemarkie and Fortrose and it doesn't take long to get down to Inverness or Nairn or in the other direction explore further north in Invergordon. Mairi our host is local and available as and when needed (not that we needed her) and was very helpful when we arrived and left. We look forward to staying again

      Promotional Pictures are flattering!

      Property starting to look a bit tired now. Struggled to get in at front, lucky back was left unlocked? Quite a few minor defects and deficiencies in the inventory, not getting passed back to whoever is managing the property? Inadequate storage if you were a party of 4, 1 small dwarf wardrobe in main bedroom, no hanging space in twin. Garden looks unkempt and gives a bad first impression! (There is a fine line between letting go wild, and neglected???) Part of derelict roof in garden? Random dumpy bag, discarded guttering, plastic bucket etc. Weeds up to the back door. The Hot Tub cover bar is broken, and keeps breaking, broken bits of strap everywhere? Woodburner door seal is hanging off and flue pipe leaks? All this is quite livable of course, but if you are charging a Premium rate, you should maintain it to a Premium Product Standard? Stop banking/spending the profits in Kent and put some back in to the asset at Caithness??? (Out of sight, out of mind???) Stealing the extra hour at check out is a step too far, with 4pm check in that is already a day of your holiday lost? To get up early and rush around to be out for 9am is not a great feel or way to end a relaxing holiday, especially when the "cleaners" have already arrived and are moving in at 5 to 9??? So you have to get packed and tidy the day before another day impacted! (There is no evidence that 7 hours is being spent prepping that property prior to check-in???) Cannot argue with all the Rosey tinted reviews in the guest book, the area, the views, the wildlife, the peace and quiet. Fantastic, second to none. But you did not provide that, nature did? Yes Disappointed, could have been so much better, probably cost less than a weeks rental to put the little things right?

    • Floris - Verified booking

      We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

      Pros/cons - warm and cosy feel to the property. Location is good but couldn’t walk the dogs immediately from the property. Mattress is very soft but will did actually sleep well. Garden is walled (low wall though and only suitable for well behaved dogs). The garden was bursting with flowers which was really pretty and enjoyable. The hot tub was excellent and a real pleasure even if the weather was poor it was still worth going in as it was so hot. The kitchen is good but we felt a few things would really help. There was no salt and pepper, or any general bits like oil, sugar, cleaning spray, no collider. Also one toilet roll for the week was a little stingy, no bathroom products like shower gel or shampoo, no matches to light the fire. The fire place flu needs a bit of attention I think? The property was nice but would have felt like a bit of a tight squeeze for 4 people. We were there as a couple. I think in future an outside space to really be able to sit on like a mini patio would be very welcome. The table and chairs for outside wouldn’t really accommodate 4 people. On the whole the property was comfortable, clean and very suitable for a lovely stay in the area. Thank you so much.

    • David - Verified booking

      We have just spent a lovely week at Ceol Na Mara with our two Chihuahuas.

      The cottage was clean and cosy, and the view's from the windows were absolutely beautiful looking out towards the sea. We saw some amazing sunrises. The kitchen is well equipped, including a good set of sharp knives, plenty of cooking utensils, pots and pans. There is plenty of room in the kitchen cupboards for putting stuff in, and a good sized fridge freezer. The bed mattress was soft, but comfortable enough, unlike the sofas in the sitting room. One was so low to the ground, it was difficult to get up, and wasn't comfy at all. The other wasn't much better, and we both ended up with bad backs. The back garden is very large, and enclosed by a dry stone wall. In some places this is very low, and a medium sized dog could easily jump over, especially as there are rabbits running about everywhere. I find it a good idea to do an online shop to be delivered to the cottage for when you get there, it saves time driving around looking for shops for bread and milk etc. All in all, we had a great week, visiting Brora, Dornoch Thurso and beyond. The dogs loved the beaches, and long walks. The only negative us as I mentioned earlier is the extremely uncomfortable sofas.

    • Confirmed Guest - Verified booking

      A last minute holiday and we did enjoy our stay. However, this is the only rental cottage ( we have stayed in many ) where there was no tea, coffee and sugar. Not all places have milk but most do, and usually a welcome pack. Luckily we had brought our own and also food for our meals for the first few nights. Alistair had told us that the main supermarkets were in Dumfries - I had already researched this, so planned in advance. The cottage is quaint within a converted stable block being so old and it was very unusual not to have a stand up shower but we knew this on reading the description. The flies were a total nuisance when preparing food and there were lots of dead flies on the window ledges. Perhaps some sort of 'fly catcher' could have been installed. There was no bathroom cleaner - only one anti-bacterial cleaner in the kitchen, which I took upstairs to use. Also, it would be better if the refuse bins were not opposite the kitchen window. Talking to Wayne was a pleasure, hearing the progress made so far and future plans.
