Visiting the country since 25 years now, this place is peaceful, Cosy wood fire in the living room (even in August) Carron restaurant is a nice place just near, Lochcarron Spar might enough and the best one near, wonderful Sky, Applecross Torridon even Inverness. I really recommand Attale cottages. For sure. Great souvenirs

Sehr zu empfehlen!!!
Wir, 2 Erw., 2 Kinder hatten einen rundum wunderschönen Urlaub im Strathan Cottage. Die Unterkunft ist sehr großzügig und gemütlich, es ist ein 3. Schlafzimmer für eine weitere Person vorhanden und eine 2. Toilette. Die umgebende Landschaft ist atemberaubend, Attadale Gardens sehr eindrucksvoll. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man benötigt. Die Kinder und wir mochten auch den offenen Kamin besonders (Holz ist da) und die Tiere hinter dem Haus. Die vielen Inseln machen Ausflüge auf dem Wasser zum Traum (klares Wasser: Seesterne, Seeigel, Muscheln, ...auf dem Grund zu sehen). Wir waren mit Kajaks unterwegs- Seehunde haben uns neugierig beäugt (Touren sind möglich). Eine Tour ganz hoch hinauf bleibt in Erinnerung (super Fotos). Highland-Landschaft, Seen, ... rundum, wie erhofft. Natürlich darf das Eileen Donan Castle nicht unerwähnt bleiben, quasi um die Ecke, die Insel Skye ebenso, ... .Wir waren 1 Woche hier -> viel zu kurz!!!!!
Viele Grüße an J. Macpherson und vielen Dank, daß wir von so einem gemütlichen Ort aus einen so schönen Teil Schottlands entdecken durften!

a recommander
cottage très bien aménagé et très bien situé pour découvrir cette partie de l'Ecosse et en particulier l'île de Skye. Tout le confort y est, y compris le feu ouvert qui même en été ...est très agréable ( oui, c'est l'Ecosse quand même). Il y a de l'espace et le tout est aménagé avec goût. Je vous recommande aussi le visite des jardins " Attadale " qui sont juste à côté et qui sont superbes ( c'est gratuit pour les locataires des cottages) et où vous rencontrerez peut-être Joanna, la sympathique propriétaire .Aussi, vous vous retrouverez probablement nez à nez avec un jeune cerf qui vous regardera par la fenêtre en venant brouter l'herbe aux abords du cottage :)

Super schön!!
Wir verbrachten die erste Woche unseres Schottlandurlaubs in Attadale.
Es war wunderbar! Das Haus hatte genügend Platz für zwei befreundete Familien. Alles war sehr sauber und in Ordnung. Die Lage ist traumhaft! Das Beste ist der kostenfreie Eintritt in den Botanischen Garten, wo wir viele wunderschöne Fotos machen konnten. Bewundernswert, die Teestube im Park mit der Kasse des Vertrauens, was in Deutschland vielleicht nicht so möglich wäre.
Auch in der Umgebung haben wir sehr viel unternommen.
Von der nahe gelegenen Bahnstation sind wir mit dem Zug nach Plockton (wunderschön) und Kyle of Lochalsh gefahren, haben die Insel Skye besucht (leider kamen wir für die Runrig-Ausstellung in Portree im Skye's Heritage Centre ein Jahr zu spät), haben uns die Ruine vom Strome Castle angeschaut, waren in Gairloch an einem traumhaften Strand, waren natürlich im Eilean Donan Castle und erlebten unseren schönsten Ausflug nach Applecross. Atemberaubende Landschaft bei Traumwetter!
Einkaufen war im nahe gelegenen Lochcarron gar kein Problem. Und auch das Essen schmeckte in allen von uns besuchten Pubs und Restaurants. Besonders gemütlich und lecker war es in der Kishorn Seafood Bar an der A896 zwischen Lochcarron und Tornapress und im Applecross Inn, wo wir auf Grund des schönen Wetters draußen sitzen konnten.
Auf unserer Weiterreise sind wir von der Insel Skye mit der Fähre von Armadale nach Mallaig übergesetzt, um den traumhaften Blick vom Glen Finnan am Loch Shiel zu genießen!
Fazit – wir würden jederzeit gern wieder in Attadale Urlaub machen!!
