First Snow of the Year!

Well it seems to come round quicker and quicker each year, we have had the first snow fall and I am sure there will be much more to come. As you can see from the picture we have a small covering on the top of the hills at Glenachullish, which means there will be much more on top of the Ben in Fort William!!
The temperature over the last few days has certainly dropped and we are well and truly into Autumn. All the leaves are changing colour and looking fabulous, with many of them beng blown off all together. The area has quiten down considerably and we all now go into hibernation (only kidding it just feels like that sometimes)!! We hope to have a good winter with plenty of snow to bring all the skiiers to the area and keep us going until next year.

We close the chalets on the 1st November and re-open on the 20th December for Christmas and New Year. We the close again and re-open on the 7th February 2009.
We still have chalets available for Christmas and New Year so please give us a phone 01855 821272 or email enquiries@glencoeselfcatering.co.uk for details. www.glenoceselfcatering.co.uk

It has been quite a good year for us at Loch Leven Holidays, we have been fairly busy with only a short lull at the end of September. The credit crunch hasn't really affected us so far, so fingers crossed that will continue. Hopefully people will decide just to holiday at home next year and with the price of petrol finally coming down this may make a difference.

We have been busy re-roofing the chalets, which has been a big job and taken several months but it is finally finished and the roofs will probably outlast us now!!!!
Ian has been busy outside doing some new rockeries and heather beds so we may see those taking next year and he will continue to manage the trees so all the chalets have great views.

We are just waiting for the bits to replace the jetty which, as some of our regular customers know, has been out of action due to bad storms at the beginning of the year, so it should be fixed soon and our guests can enjoy fishing again.

Some of our plans for next January are to upgrade the 2 bathrooms in Tiranui Cottage, putting a new shower cubicle upstairs. We also hope to decorate the chalet bathrooms, paintng them and putting some new lighting and cabinets etc in. The laundrette will get a bit of a face lift too, with a paint and some new carpet and counter top. There is always plenty to do and we really appreciate all the comments and suggestions from our guests and try to act on points they bring to our attention.

We thank all our customers who have stayed with us this year ad we look forward to welcoming some of them back again next year and look forward to meeting some new ones!
