"We had a fantastic week’s holiday at Meall Dubh. Location is great - lots of walks from the door and plenty to explore only a short drive away. We found the cottage to be warm and cosy, which is just what you need in January when the nights are long. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Lower score on the cleaning - maybe this was due to an off season stay but the fridge and kitchen floor were not clean. Have already recommended the cottage to my mother in law."

Tip:
"We did lots of walks recommended in your very helpful guide - particularly enjoyed the walk through Alltan’abradhan to Achmelvich and the Drumbeg peat roads circuit."

Many thanks for your review. Apologies about the fridge and kitchen floor as that is very unusual. There was a tradesman in the house before your stay and I don’t know if that caused the problem but either way we will review our procedures to make sure all is well for future stays

"Wayne sent us detailed information about the property in advance of our stay and responded to all our queries promptly.
However, it would also have been good to have information, such as what bin went out on what day, in the folder in the house. We had to search for information online while on holiday, when it would have been so much easier just to flick open a page! (That's why I haven't given full marks for 'Facilities'.)"

Tip:
"Walk to the lighthouse and Stoer Head from the cottage. The track leading from the passing place on the road near the cottage heads down to the rocky shore - another nice walk from the door.
The views from the cottage of the ever-changing skies over Canisp, Suilven and other mountains were spectacular.
A lovely, cosy, well equipped cottage in a wonderful, remote location. Would be very happy to go back!"

Thanks for your comments .I am glad you had a nice stay.In relation to the bin calendar I will ensure there is a calendar available in hard copy in the cottage going forward. I think that is a good idea. I included a link to the bin calendar in a couple of emails.
