What our guests thought of their sailing holiday on the west coast of Scotland

We get wonderful feedback from our guests who really do have the holiday experience of a lifetime.  Responsible Travel also provide reports from their referrals.  Here is their report on what Penelope Elphistone thought of her family holiday in July 2010

What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Wonderful wildlife which we really saw ( so often we have been disappointed, even in Amazon rain forest). We saw dolphins and seals and lots of beautiful sea birds, we fished and layed lobster pots. We caught a lobster, along with crab and star fish, and netted plankton which we examined under microscope. My sons enjoyed the sailing, one son found he loved making sea knots. We swam in the sea. We all enjoyed beautifully cooked and plentiful food and the good company of our host and hostess.

What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Good holiday for teenagers as skipper Michael will let them sail the boat and teach them all about navigation and sailing. No hidden extras, absolutely all food provided and no opportunity to go shopping and spend extra on unwanted souvenirs. Good value for money.

Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Holidays like this benefit the local people. All food was bought locally by our hostess. The lobster and crab we netted we returned to sea. Michael and Colette were meticulous with rubbish and recycling. We travelled to Scotland by train and our children were set an example on how to behave responsibly with regard to the environment.

How would you rate your holiday overall?

Excellent ***** I am reborn! Simply the best holiday I have ever been on

"The scenery and our hosts Colette and Michael were amazing. This holiday is fantastic for all ages, young and old. We have wonderful memories and would not hesitate to recommend the holiday"
