Great Gaff. After 15 years on our annual lads week, best yet. Location, location, location. some superb hill walks, combined with local adventures. Layout very sociable, star gazing at night - awesome. Hopefully we will be back one day. Fantastic literature and folders. Best info came across at self catering.

A home from home! The log burner has been put to use with lovely fires every night! Comfy beds and lovely hot power showers. Scenery and wildlife fantastic. Would recommend Torridon sea tours and the many walks - Loch Clair, Coulin estate, mountain trail Beinn Eighe, and if your up for more driving on these wonderful roads, give Applecross cattle road a try. All in all a fab week, the separate living areas worked really well. We all really enjoyed our stay.

What a stunning location and a lovely house. This has been a wonderful 70th birthday present for Tony and we had had an amazing holiday. Thank you so much.

Everyone enjoyed the stunning scenery and lovely house. Pine martens entertained each evening.

Once again a wonderful holiday. No fish but great weather. Thank you.

We really enjoyed the visit and the cottage. The scenery was beautiful and we were so lucky with the weather. We are looking forward for our next visit.

A truly unique location, memories of which will stay with us for many years. Very appreciative of nightly entertainment from local resident wildlife!! Glad we bought extra jam. Molly enjoyed her first visit to Scotland, have never seen her so tired from walking. Thank you. We look forward to our next visit.

We can only echo what has already been said about house, location etc. Weather mixed but we have been out walking every day. Lucky enough to see both pine martens but no other significant wildlife (unless you count the Eider Duck!)

Very comfortable house. Weather beautiful Sunday and when leaving. Great walks!

Fabulous house, so very comfortable and homely. Had at least 3 seasons weather this week, rain, hail, sleet, heavy snow, wind blizzards and lovely sun. Road very "interesting" and challenging at times. Wildlife good but not an otter in sight. Pine martens come out to feed most nights and are even curious and climb on the windowsills to look at us.

What a super place to stay! Lost for words really. Would love to come back again. Thank you

Beautiful spot for our mini-honeymoon. We've seen all the wildlife described (inc. otters and pine marten) - no jam left now! The weather certainly hasn't stopped us enjoying the walks and the walks in surrey will look very tame now. Thanks for letting the house in such an idyllic spot!

Fantastic - Scotland's answer to a safari lodge - and a tardis too! Super warm and draught less. Have walked, biked, run and canoed, and just watched the wildlife. 'Otterly' marvellous!

Great week. House very comfortable for 7. Walked, climbed, cycled, fished (only mackerel), kayaked, etc. Drank - lots!... and the honour of a face to face encounter with pine marten. Thank you.

Talk about remote. It is great here. Lots of wildlife- my mum saw 2 sea eagles, amazing! Very comfortable and in beautiful surroundings. I've enjoyed all the walks. We had incredible weather. The road was pretty scary - fingers crossed for brakes not failing on the way down the hill!

Had a brilliant time. Weather spectacular - this is a truly beautiful part of the world. Kishorn seafood bar provided excellent food on Friday evening.

Magic, all round great fun.

29 August 09, Catherine, Stuart & guests, London
Excellent time. Thank you very much. "Potting shed" restaurant at Applecross highly recommended and Badachro Inn and the fortnightly "cafe" at the Torridon village hall. Walks and wildlife good.

Another fabulous week - we've all had a great time, seen some amazing wildlife and observed braver visitors tackling the hills!

Beautiful setting. Weather has been kind with great walks. Children braved the water for swimming. Best located sofa in Scotland! Reluctant to move on.

This is a great house! Some interesting sleeping arrangements with 7 singles! Weather varied as you can expect, but some great treks on the mountains in either case. The loch is really warm! Mark decided to do all of Beinn Eighe, Liathach & Beinn Alligin range peaks in one day, the rest of us took 3 days to do the same. Watch out for the Pinnacles on Liathach, which are well scary! A very enjoyable time had by all and we will certainly consider returning next year.

Our best holiday ever - perfect all round - wildlife, location, cottage, weather. We're so sorry to have to leave!! Thank you

20 June 09, Allan & Hana Sutherland, Anne Duncan, Edinburgh
What a location! Weather brilliant first 4 days then not so good. Walking every day anyway. Saw Mr Otter most mornings. House is excellent but needs a bigger fridge! Will be back again without doubt.

Fished to no avail off pier! Walked up to Craig. Had a wee swim in the sea (V. warm). BBQ, beers and stellar homemade curry. Absolutely fabulous accommodation in pristine condition. Weather and company great. Thanks for a great holiday.

We really love this place!! I really wish that the people that come here will love it as much as we did. The house is huge, yet homely and clean.

Marvellous setting, unfortunately spoiled by atrocious weather. We knew the film Lochness was filmed at Torridon but until we watched it again the other night, we didn't realise how much was filmed in this bay!

Weather not quite as good as last year, but not bad. Saw the otter on many occasions, and the pine marten only once. We saw many birds and the wild goats were down around the seashore quite often. A day at Applecross was great. Fish Loch Damph was so-so. We will be Back!

Once again amazed by the beauty and comfort in this place. Weather mild and some sunny days.

Having spent a week here in October in terrible weather, this week has been completely the opposite - glorious weather every day bar one, so lots of walking, which has been great. P&C bagged their first munro - Tom na Gruagaich - in brilliant sunshine on Wednesday and declared it the best day of the holiday!
