FREYJA VISITOR BOOK COMMENTS
Beautiful cottage with great views 5 days, out of 7, weather glorious managed to see the Northern lights and a submarine at the beginning of the week. Lesley & Darren (Leicestershire) Lovely walks by day and the comfy Freyja to return to - a perfect week! Louise & Chris (York UK) The Goddess Freyja has smiled on us this week stunning, warm sunny weather and a lovely cottage to come home to. Seen Dolphins and Orca's all from the shoreline, so peaceful and the Melvaig Inn a bonus. Julie, Phil and Hamish the Westie (Yorkshire UK) It was a great week for us and also a nice stay at your house. We and especially our boys will take a lot of impressions back home to Austria - Seals, whales, dolphins, puffins and also friendly people everywhere. Thanks a lot. Family Hackenburg (Austria) Sea swimming, hiking & rock climbing fantastic!! Eagles (scrapping with the crows & sea gulls - dramatic) wagtails, oyster catchers - may be a Minke or two. Locals friendly, Freyja very well appointed and warm. Going to miss the peace and quiet. You've provided a wonderful base to explore the area from. Paulina & Alistair (London UK) We've fully enjoyed our week in Freyja! The weather in Wester Ross was marvellous for walking, animal spotting and even swimming ... the deserted beaches were great. The Eagles surprised us a lot. Geert & Liev (Belgium) As always a lovely relaxing week in a beautiful cottage and a stunning area. Eileen & Steve (East Yorkshire) |
