Dear Pat
Well, everyone arrived home safely and I guess after two days back into the daily routine, our holiday might already be a distant memory.  However, they all agreed they had enjoyed the week at Billy’s Bothy and I even heard it said, that it was the best house we had ever used.  In particular, I am grateful that mum was able to spend the time with her 4 great-grandsons. It was an extra bonus that you arranged such ‘good’ weather for us – let’s face it, all things are relative and the fact that it did not rain has to be something of a miracle so far this year .Once again, thank you for making our week in your neck of the woods so enjoyable and for allowing us to use Billy’s Bothy, which we would not hesitate to recommend to friends and acquaintances.

Hi Pat and Chris, Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for such a lovely stay on Thursday night. Sadly, I’m back home now but your lovely home and fantastic welcome made such a difference. I’ve already sent your website address onto three people who’ve seen my holiday snaps and have asked where we stayed as it looked so lovely! I must be honest too, Jamie took a photo of his breakfast which he was most excited about and has created much interest and envy amongst our friends! Anyway, thanks again and hope to stay with you again, kind regards Emma canfor

We stayed at Billys Bothy for a girly hen weekend – pampering and relaxation was the key, and that is certainly what we found. The cottage was fantastic – sleeping and catering for all 11 of us very comfortably, with room to spare – and the area so peaceful and tranquil. I hope our Saturday night celebrations didn’t keep the local wildlife awake! I would certainly recommend the cottage to a large group of people wanting to relax and wind – Thanks Pat and Chris for a fantastic weekend. We hope to see you again in the future.

From: Katherine (02/10/2011 11:48)
Thank you for a lovely weekend at Hillside Croft. The cottage was perfect for a hen weekend and we were all impressed with the standard of the accommodation. Would definitely recommend this venue for a relaxing break in the country!

From : Tim Vaughan ( 24.7.09)
I organised a group booking for some friends at Hillside Croft way back in May 2009,I meant to leave a note in the visitors book, but forgot hence the much delayed email. My friends and I were incredibly impressed with your preoperty, the size, locatioN, finish and facilities were far and above what we expected. We were all very impressed with your competetive pricing too. You have always been very pleasant and accommodating to deal with prior to our stay and this continued on arrival and through to our departure.  You are very lucky to have such a wonderful place for people to saty and we would happily recommend Hillside Croft to any friends or family looking for somewhere for a quiet, relaxing retreat. Thank you very much for sharing with us your fantastic property, and welcomming us so kindly to the area.
