It is just ‘a room at the back’ and we loved it

Pros: Close proximity to the firth and harbour. A very warm welcome from the host Rachael who put us at ease for our stay with our exuberant young Labrador

Fabulous stay :)

Pros: Rachael went over and above, this was my second trip to 'the room at the back'. This time I brought my new husband and we had vegan tiffin, a lovely welcome message and a bottle of champers waiting for us as well as a friendly welcome from Rachael. Thank you so much for making the end of our road trip special :)

Great stay in a lovely place and a lovely hostess!

Pros: Rachael was a truly wonderful host. We had a breakdown on the way there and had to delay our arrival. Great communications meant we could still be welcomed on our arrival and briefed on the stay. Rachael was very helpful on what to see, where to go etc.

Cons: The room itself was wonderful but we did wish we'd known in advance that there are really no restaurants etc. close by - not a problem, as there was a very good fish and chip shop open!

Slovenia 🇸🇮

Pros: This was the perfect cozy room for exploring the coastline. Our favourite thing here was seeing the dolphins - Rachael gave us all the tips on where to park and walk to the viewing point and it was breathtaking. The room had everything we needed - a fridge, kettle and microwave, there is also a bar style counter to sit and eat. The bathroom is new and very nice, the only thing we would add is some storage - a cupboard or shelves to have some space for your toiletries. We loved it here and the only thing we would change is to stay more time!
