Felt perfectly at home
We had a wonderful time staying at Upper Alta and were sad to leave. The stunning view left us speechless. A very tranquil, relaxing and homely environment to stay in. If we ever get the chance, we'd love to come back.

wundervoller Ausblick
Wir waren 3 Erwachsene die eine Woche in der Ferienwohnung waren um diese Region Schottlands zu erkunden. Einige Wanderungen und Besuche von Sehenswürdigkeiten waren geplant. Leider machte uns das Wetter einen gewaltigen Strich durch unsere Rechnung. Die Wanderungen fielen buchstäblich ins Wasser. Trotz dieser Unannehmlichkeiten habe wir uns in Tighnabruaich und der Region sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Wohnung war angenehm hell und sauber. An die fehlende Steckdose in vielen schottischen Badezimmern werde ich mich auch noch irgendwann gewöhnen. Alles in Allem ein schöner Aufenthalt. Unbedingt Mount Stuart House auf der Insel Bute besuchen, es lohnt sich.

komfortable und saubere Wohnung. Der Traum ist die Aussicht von Schlaf- und Wohnzimmer aufs Meer und Boote. Die Gegend ist ruhig. Zum Entspannen gut geeignet.

all you need: Upper Alta
Alles was wir für einen erholsamen Urlaub brauchten haben wir in Tighnabruaich gefunden. Einen wunderschönen Blick vom Balkon über den Kyles of Bute. Jeden Tag hat uns das Licht unterschiedlichste Farbnuancen beschert. Ein kleiner Spaziergang von 20 Minuten entfernt läßt sich ein kleiner Supermarkt und zwei liebevoll gestaltete Cafe's finden. Ein paar Schritte den Hang hinauf kann lecker im Hotel des Ortes gespeist werden mit Blick auf die Bucht. Ein paar Mailen durchs Land mit dem Auto und ein zwanzig Minütiger Walk entfernt kann Strandleben genossen werden in der Kilbride bay. Hier geht das Ufer sanft ins Meer so dass das Wasser an der Oberfläche warm genug ist um ohne Neopren Anzug schwimmen zu gehen. Auf dem Rückweg können kleine Snacks an einer Hütte am Bauernhof genossen werden. Zurück in der Ferienwohnung Upper Alta finden wir alles was wir zum Kochen benötigen um uns selbst zu versorgen. Sogar eine Waschmaschine steht bereit. Neben dem Haus kann eine Holzterasse genutzt werden mit Blick auf den Kyle. Die Betten sind angenehm und die Einrichtung schön aufeinander abgestimmt. Wer mag setzt sich an kühlen Abenden an das Kaminfeuer(mit Feuerimitat u Heizlüfter). Auf dem Kyle ist immer etwas zu beobachten, der Wassersport, die Seevögel... ein Fernglas liegt ebenfalls bereit. Hier wurde an wirklich alles gedacht. Es lohnt sich einen Ausflug nach Tabert oder auf die Insel Bute zu unternehmen. Schön sind auch die Wege im Ort in Richtung Leuchturm oder hoch zur Straße.
