Non potremmo essere più felici della nostra scelta: questa casa è stata semplicemente eccezionale!​La posizione è fantastica: godersi la totale privacy, senza vicini, con una vista incantevole sulle praterie e sul mare, è un'esperienza che ci rimarrà nel cuore. Senza dubbio, questa zona è la più bella che abbiamo visitato in tutta la nostra permanenza in Scozia; il panorama che si gode dalla veranda è davvero unico.​La casa è dotata di ogni comfort possibile. La cucina è enorme e attrezzata con qualsiasi elettrodomestico si possa desiderare. Abbiamo apprezzato moltissimo anche la lavanderia, comodissima con lavatrice e asciugatrice. La casa è molto calda e accogliente, grazie a un riscaldamento a pavimento davvero eccezionale. Tutto era perfettamente pulito e curato.

Fortunate enough to find this place available last minute after a camping disaster and it provided a very comfortable stay for 2 nights on a NC500 trip. The kitchen was well equipped and the sun room with wood burner provided an excellent place to unwind in the evenings. Would definitely recommend staying here!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our seven day stay at Conor’s place. The house has been beautifully restored without losing the atmosphere and layout of the original home. The rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished. It must have been a splendid place for the Minister to live in the old days. The addition of the modern Observatory room is inspired. It enhances the house by adding a place to relax and enjoy the slowly evolving panoramic views over the Loch in the total comfort afforded by double glazing and underfloor heating. Conor is a proactive and responsive host, dedicated to providing guests with a five star experience.

We had a truly incredible family stay in Aultbea for Christmas. The house was wonderful, and the location right on the water was perfect. Connor was a great host, we would definitely stay again.
