Hopeman beach as you may not see it again in a while

Should have been in Portugal this week ... but this may just come a close second!!!!! ... or not !

Not exactly what we were expecting for the beginning of Spring in Hopeman!

Two new visitors today

This is a request to all our guests since we opened: We have had a malicious google review posted on our website by someone who has not stayed in or visited the cottage. He has not responded to any of our attempts to correspond with him. We have checked with the other establishments in the village and as far as we can tell has not stayed with any of them either. We are in the process of attempting to get google to remove it but are not sure how long this will take. Could we ask any of you who are happy to do so, to add a google review of your own. This can be done by googling the cottage website and selecting to add a review. We will update you here if we are successful in getting google to remove the review. Many thanks to all of you.

Huntly Falconry Centre camera club outing today.

Fort George Highland Tattoo ... Take Two and as a bonus we stayed dry for the whole show

Nairn harbour on an absolutely stunning afternoon

... and home to more of this ... we have been really spoilt with the weather this last few weeks.

Small selection from our Mull and Iona visit. We left in the mist and then had two days of wall to wall sunshine. Will need to return as just too much to do and see in three short days

... it just does not get any better than this ... the last two days have been as good as the previous 6 ... this really is the north of Scotland !!!
