OK, so you have to use your imagination a little bit, but there is a hint of a sunset in that image.

Thanks to all our lovely guests this season, specially the ones who had to put up with views a bit like this

We did have some gorgeous weather over the season, particularly in May and June, but even lately we have enjoyed days when the sky and the sea were blue

And there is a certain romanticism to the moody, misty days

Here’s a shot of a couple of our last breakfasts of the season

And a look at the breakfast room ready to go (and muffins)

We’ve already managed to squeeze in a quick trip to Arran – inspired by some of our guests who had been there prior to staying with us.

Left to right that’s, Lamlash and Holy Island, Brodick Castle, and the path to Machrie Moor standing stones.

Thanks to another set of guests who told us about Mara Fish Bar and Deli, where we had a delicious lunch.

It was a great short break, giving us the chance to stop and smell the roses

And eat the ice cream – it wouldn’t be a holiday otherwise.

See you next year,

Caroline xx
