Holidays at Loch Leven!

This is the diary of the Gudge family who stayed with us 21st-28th July, here is what they had to say:

Hi there,
I am writing this on day 3, the rest of the family are up Ben Nevis and I'm chilling out here in the chalet www.glencoeselfcatering.co.uk

Since the minute we arrived we've felt so "at home" here. The chalet is the most immaculate and cosy place we've ever stayed, and Ian & Sharon have thought of everything we might possibly need to ensure our comfort.

The surrounding are is just so beautiful, clean and uncluttered. We ate in the Clachai Inn, Glencoe on our first night and we all enjoyed our food there. The menu has a mixture of traditional Scottish dishes (haggis, venison, tatties & neeps!!), to Mexican food and great pub grub such as steak and ale pie. Even the "veggies" amongst us had a choice. www.clachaig.com

Yesterday we walked/climbed up Am Bodach, it took 7 1/2 hours in total. My husband, a seasoned hill walker thouroughly enjoyed the challenge, but the children and I whinged all the way up and all the way down. to add insult to injury we got soaked to the skin coming down!! Our waterproofs weren't quite up to a torrential downpour!!

Today is warm and sunny, I've washed all the stinky wet clothes from yesterday, pottered about the chalet and am now enjoying a gin & tonic on the decking. Bliss!!

There's something for everyone here, no matter what your age or how fit you are. Hope you enjoy your visit as much as us!!

P.S. on the last day we did the Pap of Glencoe - stick to the path if you want to get down again on the same day! Last night we ahd 3 visits from the local Pine Martens. They amke a very weird sound and are very nervous creatures, stay very still and whisper only or they run away. Also, a red squirrel visits the tree next to Ian & Sharon's house. We'll be back!!!
