        Yes I would go again. The location is fantastic, you couldn't find better, the food is amazing, great breakfasts and a real foodie's paradise evening meal.

        The hosts are great fun, Richard is the archetypal British eccentric, laid back and great fun. The rooms are not going to win any awards but are comfortable and clean, and with view's like this place who's going to mind.

        Aparently Tony Blair took his family there for a break just before he started as PM. Depending on what side of the fence you are though, that might be good or bad!

        Anyway it's worth a visit, give it a go!

          I watched this again last night. Rutger Hauer is a god.

          I'm going camping for a few days in September - the shores of Orion. Lots of fresh air, beer, wine and bbq (and the traditional argument as we put the tent up) - bliss.

              Three holidays most years.

              A city break mid february for the wedding anniversary (this year we went to Dubai).

              An exploring holiday mid year to have a look around somewhere new (this year we had a look around Copenhagen, Helsinki and Stockholm).

              A lying in the sun holiday in November or December. The Canary Islands are perfect for that.

              Now that I have typed that I think about most people's lives and I am starting to feel a little guilty.

                That is worrying unnecessarily.

                When you book a flight, the airline has already decided that the plane will be doing that journey, so just getting on it does not increase the carbon footprint at all.

                  Mull next week (rough and ready RHIB diving)

                  Read Sea in November (luxury Tony Backhurst diving).

                  the variety!

                    I can also recommend The Ceilidh Place in Ullapool. Like the other place the rooms are nothing to write home about but they are clean, comfortable. But the hosts and the food are top notch, great music too.

                    The guest lounge is also a great place to spend a lazy day if the weather is crap.
