Fantastic facilities and accommodation, couldn't have asked for better. Will be back.
(R. Rayner, UK)
Druimgorm is very comfortable, spacious and tastefully decorated. We love the open fires and the fact that it's so conveniently located yet quiet with fabulous views. The downstairs bathroom is amazing and the whole place is excellently equipped - all in all, the best house we've ever stayed in.
Carol Jepson (June 2006)
We really enjoyed our stay, and were exceptionally comfortable in Druimgorm. We are regular visitors to the mountainous areas of the world (but particularly Scotland) - however I can unequivocally state that Druimgorm was the best place we have ever stayed in.
It is a fantastic place for a large group to stay and has a lot of things that other places simply don't - really good cookware, proper coffee utensils, and plentiful washing areas for a start. As it turned out we didn't need so much of the washing stuff because the weather was very kind to us too.
We are already thinking of a return if you are planning to keep renting it out and will certainly pass on the details and recommend to others if you wish.
Have you considered advertising in "High" or "Trail" magazines, or on their websites? I would have thought that with the location of Druimgorm (town/pubs + the Cuillin) you won't be short of takers....
