Spring has finally Sprung!

What a relief to see snowdrops in flower. Better late than never! The daffs probably won't be out until June at this rate. The ground is still pretty hard beneath the surface - on the up side that should mean we have a midge and tick free summer - which is good news for all those who like to enjoy being outside after dusk.

My girls will be home for the Easter hols this week. I can't believe the year is speeding by so quickly. I have only just recovered from Hogmanay! We have been very busy over the winter with the usual round of refurbishments and renewals. Several lodges have had new kitchens including the small Outer Hebridean chalets. All have been painted internally and we have added additonal roof vents to try to prevent condensation - ironically caused by the new double glazed window units that we installed a couple of seasons earlier.

The biggest single investment over the winter has been a £20k water treatment plant at Cologin. New pipes have been laid, a new tank installed and all the associated filtration systems to make sure that our lovely fresh spring water meets all the new EC regulations. It will still taste just as good as it is not being chemically treated.

We're full for the Easter weekend but still have a few vacancies for the school holiday period. We have come to the end of our Spring into Summer Offer but do keep an eye on the offer button as we may introduce our June Jollies .....
