The cosiest home away from home!
We absolutely loved our stay in the Boat Lodge! What a perfect location to use as our base to explore different areas in the Highlands! We were very happy with how wonderful David and Hanako were with communications and making sure our stay there was the best it could possibly be. The cottage had all of the amenities we could have needed and it was very clean and organized. We loved having our breakfast and tea/coffee looking out to the spectacular view outside the windows. Walking the beach during sunrise was also something that will become core memories for us. Rosemarkie is an adorable little village with the friendliest and kindest people, and if you get a chance on your stay to visit Crofters Cafe, please do so! We went once and then just kept going back again! The food and drinks were so tasty and I know we will miss the restaurant (and the lodge!) when we arrive back home in Canada. As my husband said, the cottage can be summed up in three words, cosy, cosy, cosy! Thank you again David and Hanako! You made our visit to Scotland very memorable!

On the beach
The property is in a great location and has a great view, the people were very friendly and Crofters down the road is well worth a visit. The property had everything that you needed and was very comfortable. We saw dolphins from the driveway.

The property is in a lovely location with a view of the sea. You can hear the sea which is great. The property itself is quite tired and could do with some TLC. Overall a good stay.

Very Disappointing
All one room , apart from bathroom. No complementary toiletries, no welcome pack apart from some biscuits and 2-1 coffee satchets , no milk or tea. Blinds at window were very dusty and didn’t fit at all well. Piece of net curtain at door , not much privacy. Only 2 mugs in the property. Bed settee was our seating and extremely uncomfortable, mis match of rugs on the floor. Patio chairs for our dining section!!! A very poor accommodation place . Very uncomfortable for two 70+ year olds . View was beautiful!!!!!

Had a very nice week
A nice compact accommodation. Very close to the sea, with walk along the beach to Chanonry Point, if there are no dolphins (it happens that this is the case sometimes) there is always a seal to be spotted and lots of other people waiting in anticipation as well. Beautiful sunset skies. Lovely villages closely (to walk to as well). Very helpful owners.

Holiday August 2021
This property was in a great location and exactly what we were looking for for a relaxing weeks holiday. Only few issues TV to small and the facility would benefit from a marketing and pricing point of view with a nice Jacuzzi adjacent to the property. Also your description of bring your own towels there was no mention of dish towels? Minor point but essential. This however did not detract from our holiday experience. Ideal property in ideal location . Kind regards Kenny

Location location location
The location of the property was excellent with a short walk to the golf course which was a good layout and served great food. There is also a very good cafe restaurant within a few hundred yards not to mention the proximity of channonry point for dolphin spotting The lodge itself was perfectly adequate although a few extras cups and glasses would have been handy in case you had visitors. The owner was great and very helpful in supplying bedding at short notice and a tea pot when requested
