Often our guests have said that we ought to do more “chilled out weeks”, so if you would rather enjoy a bit of R&R and spend a gentle week exploring the 600 acre Aigas estate on foot, using the wildlife hides, wandering through the gardens and taking it easy, then we have some great relaxation or shorter programmes for you.
Staff and ranges are great. Lovely pass for wildlife, hope to see pine Martins next time.

I can not say enough about the amazing experience my family & I shared at Aigas this summer. I reached out to them in November asking if they could accommodate a family of 27 people and lead us around to certain attractions that we were interested in visiting throughout the Highlands. Within several months we had accommodations, a preliminary itinerary set and transportation lined up (through Aigas) to and from the airport. The rangers were so helpful & knowledgeable about all of the locations we visited, were able to adapt to our changing plans & made every excursion a delight! Lady Lucy's meals were fantastic and we couldn't wait to see what we were going to eat every day! Thank you, Aigas, for making our family trip (27 of us ranging in age from 3years-85 years old) so memorable & easy!!!!!

This was an exceptional week of fun, laughter, creativity and wildlife. Tutored by the outstanding Jay Griffiths (wild: an elemental journey; pip,pip etc) with additional teaching and talks from the owner and author John Lister-Kaye (song of the rolling earth, nature child). The wit, patience, knowledge and sheer genius of the tutors made this a fantastic learning experience without feeling a sense of pressure. The wildlife seen was exceptional with pine marten, bottlenose dolphins, red deer, red squirrel, golden eagles, otters, stone chat all seen along with the beavers on the loch which are part of an introduction experiment. They're busy creating habitat patches of fallen birch and adding to the structure of the ecosystem. The group was mixed with couples and singles, male female and a wide mix of ages. Al had one thing in common a desrire to write about the natural world, all succeeded in improving their skills. Brilliant!
