Our guide Marty was very funny and quite memorable! He made it so fun to be on that long ride to the highlands, and we also learned a few fun facts from him. Safe driver, good tour!

Thanks to Timberbush's guide Neil for his 2-day tour. He is a very generous, enthusiastic, attentive and friendly guide! We started from Edinburgh and picked up in Glasgow. Although it rained for more than half of the journey, we still got to see the beauty of the Highlands. After all, this place is very vast and the drive is quite long. 2 days is really the minimum number of days, so that we don't rush to see the sights. The time to stay in each place is still enough (of course, you can stay longer if you drive by yourself, but it is very tiring). It is worth recommending!

We had a great stay in this aparthotel. It was quite a walk from the center but it is okay which can be counted as exercise. The neighborhood was quiet and accessible. The Tesco was nearby and got what we needed during our stay. The place was nice and spacious. However, we noticed that some issues: the shower rod was detached at the holder and reported it to the receptionist and it was immediately attended to because they might charge it to us. Also, I noticed some stains and crumbs of food on the throw pillows at the sofa. This is just a minor issue, but I think they should double-check the cleaning. But overall, it was a lovely stay in this service apartment.
