This was one of the very best last minute little holidays we have been on. The lovely weather helped of course but everywhere we visited was stunning and the birds and cetaceans all added to the joy. Staffa was mind blowing as it was spectacular and I felt very privileged to have been able to go there. The bright sun bounced off the water and onto the ceiling making it feel magical. Being welcomed each afternoon with delicious cake and bubbles was an added delight. As was soaking in the hot tub and looking out onto the wonderful views.

All superb. Chris even took us to my favourite anchorage on Rona and loitered where I had once seen an eagle’s nest. My special wish was to see the Summer Isles after first looking down on them in 1974! They were as magical as I had thought they must be. Each day was organized to make the very best of what the islands can offer. Private facilities are very good, and I love “Sea Kelp” toiletries. I really appreciated the new seating forward which was really comfortable. The crew all seemed to be very happy in their roles which made me feel comfortable with them. Hannah’s enthusiasm was infectious. Don’t hang about, just BOOK if you can find a space.
