We had a great stay. We were late to arrive due to a rainstorm, and Anni was warm and friendly. Place is adorable and well-equipped. Would love to stay there again.
Anni and Don’s amazing spot right on the water at Urqharts Bay has everything you need. Beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms and great little kitchen. Anni and Don are the perfect hosts.
Fantastic property, location is stunning , Don and Annie are amazing hosts . Everything you could possibly need is there , one of our best family holidays ever!! We will be back ❤️
Another amazing stay!! Property is all anyone could ask for. The environment is quiet, but close to anything you need. Anni and Don are wonderful hosts and we will definitely book again.
This was a delightful apartment. It was clean, comfortable and inviting. Anni and Phil were wonderful hosts who told us all about the area and recommended places to see and things to do. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Loved everything about this place. Location, comfort, hosts super friendly and helpful. We stayed in the downstairs room so we could enjoy the view each morning. Friends stayed upstairs. Super quiet. Great walks nearby and fishing fantastic. Highly recommend for others.
We were greeted on arrival and shown the accommodation. Our hosts were very welcoming and the property is extremely well set up with great amenities as well as very interesting views and good access to the beach. Very much enjoyed our stay and loved the fact that our pup was welcome too. Would happily return.
A very nice, clean and comfortable stay looking out at the ocean.
Very friendly and accommodating hosts.
We Felt like we were far away to have a nice break yet close by to amenities as needed.
Nice nearby walks and beaches depending on what level of activity you wanted to get up to.
Many thanks for the stay.
Great little get away just minutes from an amazing beach and if the weather is average you still have the option of chilling out and looking straight out to the sea. The unit had all the amenities needed to comfortably settle in after walking the dog. Great hosts who made everything very easy. Would definitely recommend
Located on the estuarine waterfront, this bach and setting were perfect for our family getaway. It was neat, well equipped and provided for all our needs. Annie and Don are great hosts and fun to be with. We give them full marks and we look forward to our next visit in Urquharts Bay. Willo & Antoinette.
From the moment we arrived we were welcomed as part of an extended family, the relationship was friendly, helpful and went beyond expectations. The inside of the unit was fabulous, spotless, well appointed through out, while the views were to die for and best of all our wee dog was welcomed with open arms. A truely, beautiful, relaxing home away from home. Highly recommend.
