The first couple of weeks of 2009

What a start to the New Year. We had spent Christmas setting up the apartment in Marbella ready for Guests' use. We actually stayed in it for the first time, and it was so peaceful and warm! We had a lunch party on our patio with old friends from Kingussie who live just outside Malaga perched precariously on top of a mountain, a real life "Driving Over Lemons".
Sadly Bills' Mother passed away just before we came back.
So the first two weeks were sad, despite my brother, his wife and grandchild, from Australia, coming to visit us for the first time at the Hotel. I told him that we had been waiting for 23 years for them to visit us!
The credit crunch has hit the Highlands with avengance, but we are doing our best to fight it by offering very very special rates. So, if you feel like getting away at the moment please give us a ring it will be nice to hear from previous Guests again and we have some really good special offers on at the moment.
