Fantastic house and location by Joe Crossley

The house is fantastically well equipped and in a spectacular location. Lots to do locally and not far from Skye in one direction and the north west coast in the other. The house is within walking distance of the local station which is incredibly picturesque in both directions. Gillian at Hemera has been communicative and friendly throughout. I couldn't recommend more highly!

Everything we'd hoped for and more! by John Pearson

We loved everything about New Lodge. It certainly has a 'WOW factor'. Our party of 9 adults were blown away by the location, the space, the comfort and all of the facilities. We made great use of the games barn and the tennis courts. We were even treated to the presence of a good number of wild red deer stags who were regular visitors to the surrounding farmland and the driveway. They will perhaps move off as the rutting season begins but what a treat to see them so close.
