25 years back all we had to market were two Log Cabins in Argyll, but instant success with these led to huge appreciation of our new ideas, techniques and vision.

We’ve seen and dealt with just about everything in that time, from holding up a Hebrides ferry for a customer, to emergency food and Hot Drinks to customers trapped in snow covered Log Cabins in Argyll. To this day we still don’t run any paid internet adverts, a huge saving passed straight to our customers, so you’ve either found us organically, or most likely had someone recommend us.

The Isle of Skye is particularly famous for its mountain scenery and beautiful North West sunsets.
