Livingroom
We wanted to head Northwest for one last time with friends before we leave so suggested a stay at Garmoran Square, having such a lovely time on our previous two visits. The two bedroom cottage was booked, so we booked Somerled, which sleeps 6, instead.
As previously experienced, a nice welcome basket of scones, jam, shortbread and loaf of bread from the local bakery was found in the kitchen, and we got a lovely, friendly welcome from Susan and heard that business has been going well. Plans to build next door to Garmoran Square led Susan and Kenneth to ensure that they had control over what was built so they have done the building, ensuring that Garmoran Square was not compromised, and the four houses have been built sympathetically and don’t spoil the outlook of the four cottages at Garmoran Square.
Somerled, accredited 5 stars by the Scottish Tourist Board, is a well designed cottage. The large livingroom has daylight flooding through the south facing floor to ceiling windows and the French doors which lead to a deck, two large sofas which are great for lounging on reading a book by the fire give plenty seating for a group of friends, as well as two chairs.
Kitchen dining
The kitchen is large, with a generous dining table which would easily seat eight, the open fire flanked by two chairs which means that if guests don’t want to watch TV or whatever in the living room, there is another reception room for them to use in comfort with CD player. Aside from that the kitchen is well-equipped with pots, pans, dishes, utensils, cutlery and even kitchen foil and cling film, as well as housing a large fridge-freezer, dish-washer, washing machine and of course oven and hob, with plenty cupboard space to house food supplies.
Master bedroom
Bedrooms are stylish and comfortable, all three rooms with en-suites, the occupants of the master bedroom enjoying the use of the double-ended bath with jacuzzi, and a firm super-king size bed to fall into after your relaxing bath!
One of our friends is hobbling around on crutches at the moment and she mentioned that there was good access for someone who may be incapacitated in such manner, as she had no difficulties getting through the doorways, etc.
I can’t imagine anyone having an unsuccessful stay at Garmoran Square. The accommodation is luxurious, well thought out, well furnished and equipped, comfortable and clean. Susan and Kenneth have worked hard to produce luxury in the highlands and deserve the success they are enjoying and hopefully with continue to enjoy. Susan mentioned that decorators will be coming in shortly to freshen up all the cottages so they are kept to a good standard, and its this effort and attention to detail that makes a stay here so fabulous. Enjoy!
