Wonderful stay! delightful hosts, Jennifer and Marcus are lovely people and would highly recommend this place. Hope to stay again in the future.
Great stay, lovely hosts in a great location
The hosts were very welcoming and made our check in easy. They had provided a luxurious hamper and were available throughout our stay for any questions or advice we may have needed. The cottage, although small, was well equipped and furnished. The steps to the bedroom which was upstairs were steep. It was fine for us, but would be unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems.
Very well equipped cosy cottage. On site owners helpful and friendly & with added bonus of having a shooting lesson. Great location away from the NC500.
We had the best time at Am Bathach, super setting with a lovely and super clean lodge. The shower also fab!! Both Jennifer and Marcus were very welcoming (as well as Hector and Coco their dogs) and full of knowledge of the area, so we got to explore some beautiful places. They provided us with a great hamper full of goodies as well as a delicious cake on arrival. We also took part in the shooting that Marcus hosts which was a great experience. I most certainly would recommend this place to anyone it was fantastic and we didn’t want to leave.
Lodge was fantastic, had everything you would need for a few days away. Hosts were very welcoming as well which always helps.
We had a lovely time in Am Bathach. Fabulous place, beautifully decorated and with everything you need. Lovely and warm welcome too. We stayed 6 days and could have stayed more. Really good location to explore Sutherlands and around. Thank you Jennifer and Marcus for all your recommendations. We would warmly recommend.
Beautifully appointed property in a great setting and situation.
Excellent location,beautifully decorated and full of extra touches such as towels/ biscuits for our dog. Jennifer and Marcus were excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend for a very special place to stay and enjoy Sutherland.
Perfect location to relax with lots of walking in the nearby woods, and quiet roads to explore all the beautiful tourist spots nearby by car. The property is beautifully decorated and furnished and is very comfortable. Dog friendly with lots of room for the dog to roam was a big benefit. The Welcome basket was just perfect. The hosts were friendly, approachable and very helpful in suggesting places to visit. The Highland Shooting Centre was a bonus. We will certainly try to visit again.
Stunning location, beautiful accommodation but above all fantastic hosts! Very welcoming, thoughtful, friendly and accommodating. Highly, highly recommend!
good-quality accommodation/excellent welcome hamper.
We met super kind and helpful hosts and stayed in a very lovely home. The house is well equipped, looks nice, great beds and with lovely little details. For us there was one painpoint and its for rural retreats, as we explizitly asked about that before booking. As we are sensitive to noise, we had a problem sleeping with the heating machinery kicking in with a heavy humming at night every 45 min for about 10 seconds. That aside, the hosts did their best to make our stay super comfortable.
The cottage was very comfortable and well provisioned. However, the photograph shown in the brochure proved misleading regarding the view from the property, which was very disappointing – a gas tank in front of a rural shed, with a background of felled trees. Refrigerator space was limited and freezer space restricted to a small 'borrowed' shelf in an adjacent building. The setting was very remote, with limited opportunities for walking directly from the property and miles from anywhere.
This was our second stay at Am Bathach as we enjoyed our break there earlier in the year. We already plan to stay there again next year. The standard of accommodation, location and hospitality of the owners is exceptional.
We're so glad that you enjoyed Am Bathach again, and to hear that you'd like to return is wonderful. It is in such a unique position and the owners really want their guests to enjoy their time there. Thank you for your continued commitment.
Lovely property, quiet location and dog friendly.Friendly owners to welcome you with home baking and lots of luxury food items.I would have preferred a fenced in garden for the dog. I didn't like the plastic bowls to eat out of! I would have liked a measuring jug and a better grater in the kitchen! Hope this helpful.
Very clean and comfortable, friendly owners without being intrusive.
More good feedback for Am Bathach. Thank you very much.
Perfect location if you like to get away from it all but easily accessible by car to beautiful tourist spots nearby. Property is beautifully decorated and furnished. Everything you need for a break is thought of by the Munro family, so all you need to take is a change of clothes. Very comfortable and cosy accommodation. Dog friendly was a bonus for us.
Thank you for your fantastic review of Am Bathach. We are delighted you had a wonderful stay.
It was absolutely perfect - a little gem in a beautiful setting. The owner was extremely helpful. Welcome basket was amazing!
What a wonderful review of Am Bathach. We are so glad it was perfect for you.
If you're going to run a self-catering cottage this is how it should be done. Warm welcome, clear tour of the property telling us what we needed to work all the equipment. Fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. Fresh bread, a homemade cake, food for the first night, milk in the fridge etc. Fresh cut flowers even. Possibly the best self-catering experience we've ever had.
Thank you for taking the time to review your holiday at Am Bathach. It sounds as though you had a wonderful time there in the Scottish Highlands. The owners have put a lot of thought and care into the property and really want their guests to have a memorable stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
