We cannot praise this property enough. We only wish we had more time there to enjoy the facilities and soak up the views which are breathtaking. Annie and Don are simply wonderful hosts, so warm and welcoming. The property itself is immaculately presented and kept, very comfortable. Full equipped with everything you need for a relaxing and enjoying holiday. Walking trails right in front of the property as is a lovely swimming/fishing beach, 10 metres from the front door!! The photos online truly do not do the property justice. It would have to be one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed at, and we have travelled a lot. Highly recommend this one and we ourselves hope to go back soon for a longer period.
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.
Very clean, well kitted out all round. Great views over the water. Hosts were lovely and very flexible and great w communication. Thoroughly recommend. Thank you very much
Amazing location, lovely facilities, great hosts so helpful and friendly and the hubby enjoyed his fishing out with Don! had everything we needed for our getaway
17/8/24 Everything except weather was absolutely perfect
Would love stay again and will. Recommend as it’s such lovely accommodation and right on the water
We’ll be back in summertime, but it was real cosy despite the very cold wet weather.
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 ❤️
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
