The hubstacle found this mid-week break, back last spring and I must say that I have been looking forward to it a great deal, they managed to con us out of an extra £30 by scare-mongering us into buying a cancellation insurance in case of a repeat of the snow fall from last year. The weather has been glorious, but as I said to the hubstacle, sod law if we don't buy it, the white stuff will blanket the while country to a standstill and we will be £230 lighter in our pocket!
We have a gold lodge, 3 bedrooms, wood burner, flatscreen tv, all the mod-cons. Gorgeous underfloor heating which I hasten to add, always thought was rubbish until I came here! Kitchen adequately equipped and within half an hour of being in, a nice man came round to show us how everything worked. Staff at reception, lovely and friendly.
However, the totally and utterly bestest thing ever, is the jacuzzi hot tub - oh my goodness - the bliss! A) its huge, B) ITS HOT C) its amazing D) i want one. we have been out in it twice a day and I am now feeling as if I should be slightly nordik in my outlook.
The lodge overlooks a tidal loch and we have been down at low tide and collected mussels, which after cleaning and rinsing, jumped straight into a pot to stem open before being slathered in a parsley and whet wine sauce. Hugh FW, you would be proud of us!
Seals, swimming over to say hello, deer in the forest..... coming back? try to stop us!
