Comments From the Firthview Guest Book

These guest-book entries are authentic and only edited for brevity.

This was a last minute internet booking which has proved to be an excellent choice. The cottage was very welcoming and perfect for us and the dogs.

Alison, Carol, Joan, Sally and Shaibah, May 2010.

We have had a truly lovely stay at Firthview.
The cottage is wonderfully warm and cosy – and clearly someone has a fine eye for design – so nicely appointed.

Everything you might need! This was a splendid week and we hope to return to see the heather bloom.
All good wishes to Sarah, Al, Orrin, the labs and the sheep.

Alan, Kathleen and Kay. May 2010.

Our stay at the cottage was wonderful, the scenery and wildlife amazing.
Many thanks to Sarah and Al for providing all the home comforts, their friendliness and sharing of local information. Our only regret is that we have to leave.

Karen and Patricia. March 2010.

Had a great short stay. We had lots to do even in the Winter.
Loved the cottage – it had everything you might need.

Chris and Jen. February 2010.

This croft is everything you want. Lucky enough to have snow over Christmas. A trip into the North Highlands is well worth it as is the drive along the coast.
Glad to have met Sarah & Alan a truly nice couple. If you are ever travelling through Northamptonshire please look us up!
Best Wishes.

David, Trudy, Molly & little Meg. Christmas 2009.

Had a very relaxing and enjoyable short stay, the cottage was very warm and cosy, a home away from home.
We would recommend taking a walk through Dunnet Forest.
We will be visiting again next year!

Ben & Tasha, Gosport. December 2009.

This last minute internet booking which has proved to be a fabulous choice.
We came to view houses in the area, found a property we loved, made an offer which has been accepted and will make this area our permanent home next month.
Sarah & al have been so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. We highly recommend this lovely, cosy, secluded cottage.
The PERFECT place!

Chris, Eilleen & Hollie the dog. Lowestoft, Suffolk. October 2009.

We've had a fab time the whole week. Even though the wind raged outside we were all cosy in this lovely little house!
Hope to be back sometime soon.

Anna, Richard and Ghillie, Bethania, Mid-Wales. October 2009.

We've enjoyed every moment of our stay in this wonderfully inviting cottage.
We found it to be very clean, beautifully equipped and so very relaxing.
Although one night the wind howled outside, inside was warm and cosy.

Places we enjoyed were the Castle of Mey, with lunch there well worth the money, the Schoolhouse restaurant run by Ursula Shaw and her son David, really good food and friendly people, Dunnet head, Freswick Beach, etc.
We enjoyed it so much here we would like our own little place here in Canisbay.
Thank you Sarah, Al and Orrin for making us welcome.

Vanessa & Frits, October 2009.

We've had a wonderful week here in the cottage, the weather has been fantastic and we've enjoyed plenty of great walks and in particular the beaches of Sannick and Freswick.
We even had time for a trip to Orkney. Best food was at the Old Schoolhouse in John O'Groats.
All the best to Sarah & Al.

Alan & Jackie, Newcastle. August 2009.

A lovely 2 weeks and a very comfortable cottage.
Thanks Sarah & Alan.

The Bayne Family, Buckinghamshire August 2009.

A very relaxing week. The croft is lovely and very homely - everything we needed.
Special thanks for the two cots!

Carol, Any, Harry, Roxanne & Amelia, Edinburgh. August 2009.

A nice week in Firthview… Thank you to Alan & Sarah for their kindness.
We'll say in France your land is so beautiful.

Oliver, Martine & Louise, France. July 2009.

This cottage has given us a fantastic week. The beautiful scenery, great days out and such a lovely warm welcome has helped to contribute to a great escape from living in the city.
We loved the wildlife boat trip at John O'Groats (the more expensive one is definitely worth the extra price - it was amazing).
We also visited the Castle of Mey, the stacks, Dunnet Bay as well as other lovely local beaches.
We'd like to say a massive thank you to Sarah & Al for providing us with a lovely homely cottage.
A great week has been had.

James, Phil, Corrie & Steph. July 2009.

Tomorrow morning we are leaving for the Isle of Skye after having spent a week in this beautiful cottage.
The cottage has all we wished for: comfort, nice surroundings, a great view and friendly owners.
We enjoyed exploring the area, took a trip to the Orkney Islands, made a wildlife cruise and visited historic sites and castles.
In short, we had a wonderful week and wish Sarah and Al the best.

Paul & Marjon, Amsterdam July 2009.

We have had a lovely 2 weeks here and have been looked after really well by Sarah and Alan.
Beautiful beaches and of course - an otter encounter!

Shiona, Tim & Eddie. July 2009.

Brilliant week for birds on the headlands and gentle walking.
Lovely coming back to comfort and warmth inside.

Mark & Ghislaine. Gloustershire May 2009.

We had a wonderful week here, we are sad to leave. The croft is definitely "home from home" it had everything we needed.
Canisbay is beautiful although we did manage to get out and about. Our favourite places were Dunnet Bay; it's so beautiful and great to walk the dog.
We also loved the coastline along the West of Scotland and Loch Eriboll is breathtaking.
If you go that way, call in at Cocoa Mountain chocolates at Durness.
Thank you so much for a wonderful break, I am sure we will be in touch for a visit in 2010.

Jo, Phil & Kai Leeds, West Yorkshire May 2009.

Had such a lovely and relaxing time here, will definitely be back. Sarah & Al were extremely helpful especially in the art of angling.
For anyone reading this at the beginning of your stay: Dunnet Beach is lovely and the Captains Galley at Scrabster is well worth a visit if you fancy some sea food.

Claire, George and Nelly, May 2009.

Had a relaxing short stay, beaches very nice.
Sarah & Al very helpful. We will be back.

David, Lorraine and Clay. West Yorkshire April 2009.

Our first time in Canisbay, it's the ideal place to relax with the family.
Cottage has been perfect (warm and cosy).
Sarah and Al are always happy to help with anything you may need.
