Best night sleep in Scotland!!!...

Liked: We absolutely loved the Thistle House! It was the best nights sleep we had in our two week tour of Scotland. The house is stunning with tasteful decorations. The beds were extremely comfortable. Tea, coffee and cake was offered at arrival which was such a nice touch. We enjoyed that in their beautiful living room with views of the loch. The breakfast was also the best we had in Scotland. We especially enjoyed the homemade jams.
Disliked: Nothing! We wished we could have stayed for a week!

Liked: This place, although far away, is worth coming to. The booking says that check-in is only until 7 pm, but we were checked in at 10:30 pm, but I asked in advance. This was the most important thing for us, because it's a long drive from the Isle of Skye. We had a wonderful room for three, everything is thought out to the smallest detail, everything is selected by color. The bathroom is very modern, there is everything you need. You can make your own breakfast menu. It was very, very tasty, the hosts are nice and wonderful. There was a gluten-free person in our company, and they cooked separately for her. The dining room and living room are also very well decorated. All the details add comfort during your stay, it feels like we are at home. The area is also beautiful, the house is right on the lake. Also, parking for a car on the territory is free.

Welcoming, friendly, kind, respectful, and...

Liked: The owners were amazing, from the moment we stepped onto their property until we left it, their welcome and sending off was both warm and kind. They treated us like they knew us, they were so kind and hospitable, nothing was a problem. Spare fridge with fresh milk and water and available to put your own stuff in it. Everything they did and said was from the heart! 5 stars to them, 10 out of 10 - so so friendly and interested in you the guest, but not over the top- our privacy and boundaries were respected!!
Disliked: Nothing! Everything was brilliant- breakfast was the highest quality!
