Large tree in Ardchattan gardens

What strange times these are.  We are still are no closer to knowing when life will begin to return to normal. Our diary is closed during April and not open for new bookings in May.  We still have a few people who haven’t cancelled their stay with us in May but we fully expect that […]

Bathrooms Complete

The en-suite bathrooms in Rooms 1 and 3 have now been fully renovated.  That now completes the make overs. We are now open again for business!

Things are begining to quieten down

Eas chia aig waterfalls

27th September 2019 After a busy season it is beginning to quieten down a bit.  We are feeling a bit relieved as it’s nice to know we will have some time to spend on ourselves and do a bit of decorating inside and out of our little cottage which is next to the guest house. […]

The Highland Soap Company

Evening Walk

Sunset over Loch Leven

17th April 2019 We took an evening stroll and watched the sun set and the moon rise.  It was still mild and very pleasant.  It was lovely to watch the sun set over the hills in the distance.  

Lunch Time Walk

Inchree Waterfalls

17th April 2019 We took a pre-lunch walk to Glen Righ, near Onich. It is only 10 minute drive away by car and has a red squirrel spotting station although we didn’t see any on this trip and plenty of plants and lichens to see.  There were a group of people on the water fall, canyoning I think, […]

Tea at The Laroch

3 Goats Cheese Bon Bons on a bed of salad

16th April 2016 Another tasty meal enjoyed at the Laroch, just a hop, skip and a jump from Fern Villa.

Bye Bye Leylandii

New laid lawn at Fern Villa

At last a few dry hours for David to start taking the Leylandii out of the front garden. It will take a bit of getting used to but the Pyracantha will certainly brighten up the garden and attract more butterflies and bees.

Scrambled Tofu

Breakfast Scrambled Tofu and Baked Beans

21st March 2019 We are still working on breakfast dishes for our vegan and vegetarian guests. This morning we tried scrambled tofu with mushrooms, tomatoes and onions.  It was lovely and tasty.

The world at our feet

Yellow gorse bush

17th March 2019 We went for our usual walk around the shore line but this time took a few photos of things by our feet.  Photos taken using my iPhone so not the greatest of quality but they do show what a pretty walk it is.

The Birds

Oyster Catchers

10th March 2019 A few birds spotted on our recent walk around the village.

New Garden Hedge

New laid lawn at Fern Villa

8th March 2019 We’ve taken the bull by the horns and decided to rip out the leylandii hedge at the front of the house.  We have bought multi coloured pyracanthas so that we will get all year round colour, flowers for the bees and lots of nice berries for the birds.  It will look a […]
