We have spent the most amazing week at Spinnyfield Cottage with our friends, it’s in the most beautiful countryside with breathtaking views from almost every room. The cottage has been thoughtfully furnished and has everything you could possibly need, we felt at home straight away. Although there were four adults the cottage offers plenty of room and has two generous double bedrooms, one en-suite. Bed linen and towels are hotel standard and the cottage was spotlessly clean when we arrived.
Sue, her husband and daughter have worked so hard to welcome their guests, there was literally nothing she hadn’t thought of, there was even a hot water bottle in our room! Sue knew that we were travelling up to Scotland from the south of England and she thoughtfully left us some soup, bread, fresh eggs, milk and a yummy chocolate cake. All of these little touches add up to a huge welcome!
We have spent the week exploring the surrounding areas, the gondola at The Nevis Range is amazing with stunning views from the top. My husband and his friend rented electric bikes from there also and had a great day exploring the Witches Trail. We have visited stunning beaches and seen breathtaking sights at every turn. Dalwhinnie Distillery is a great visit, even for a non whiskey drinker.
Best of all tho has been the views from the warmth of the cottage, there are so many birds in the garden and we spent many hours watching the robins who visit throughout the day. Sue told us that there is a pine marten who is quite partial to peanut butter sandwiches, on our last night we were rewarded with seeing him coming to collect his supper right outside on the decking, amazing!!
We have already booked to come back to Spinnyfield and cannot wait! It was truly hard to leave.
