The owner Howard Fargher, address Dalmenach, Glenlivet, Ballindalloch,
Banffshire AB37 9EB
Telephone 01807 500378. A recently retired senior banker with Lloyds
TSB, bought the house in 1994 and until the year 2002 the property
has been let out through Country Cottages in Scotland being one of
their most popular properties with a well above average return rate.
However, with the additional time retirement gives, I now wish to
market the cottage myself. The best recommendations are from previous
holidaymakers and here are some 100% genuine extracts from the current
Visitors Book. They are typical of comments from nearly all the guests
over the last 7 years.
-
"We have stayed in many cottages in the UK
but this is the best yet. The view is stupendous and there is the
sense of the owner wanting to share his dream rather than letting
you be here on sufferance and this makes a great difference."
Stuart and Marion
"PS I have never written in a visitors book before"
-
"Have enjoyed listening to the numerous CD's,
and the eclectic selection of books and videos was appreciated.
A delightful cottage in a spectacular position ... could not be
better."
Elaine and Michael
-
"Location of Southbay Cottage stunning. Great
to be able to allow the boys to investigate the pools on the beach
at low tide by themselves whilst keeping an eye on them from the
observation lounge." Nigel and Denise.
-
"We have had a wonderful week ... the
cottage is warm and comfortable ... the views are tremendous ...
the colours, changing shadows and reflections on the Sound of Sleat
are unimaginable but true ... how could we fail to return."
Phil and Jo
-
"Your cottage exceeds all expectations from
the brochure description, which on reflection is not surprising
as it is difficult to find words to adequately describe its location,
let alone the warm and friendly feeling which envelops you as you
walk though the door." Guy and Janet
-
"This is our fifth stay in Southbay and as
always we've felt so at home that we don't want to go. Thank you
for your personal touches. It makes such a difference ... once again
we had a glimpse of an otter." Caroline and Corienne"
-
"Our prime goal was to have a good location
and we were not disappointed! My wife being an animal lover, adored
the 'mobile zoo' outside ... the cottage is lovely and a great base
for exploring this part of the world ... this is a special place
to stay." Adam and Julia.
-
"Southbay cottage has proved to be the perfect
base ..we ate nearly all our meals outside in the garden ... we
even staked our claim on one of the tiny rocks in the bay ... the
highlight had to be on Thursday when 8 dolphins came within 50 m
of our own bay."
Gerry and Wendy
