It's not easy to describe this place as it is so unique. If you like being out doors and you love nature then you will adore this place. We stayed here for the wildlife week and got to see a lot of different birds, and other various wildlife across much of this area of Scotland. The estate has Hides on it and you can spend evenings and early mornings watching Beavers, Badgers and Pine Martin. However you won't get much spare time as they keep you really busy. Trips out are in groups on a minibus. Our group was with 6 lovely Canadians and we got on really well. Who you are with will make so much difference to your enjoyment of the holiday. The Rangers that take you out each day are knowledgable and friendly. Thanks to Amy You don't need to be really fit as walking is limited to gentle strolls whilst watching for Golden Eagles!. Breakfast and Dinner are taken communally in the hall. Wonderful home cooked food so you will put on weight. Packed lunches are supplied on days out. Evenings often include talks or Whiskey tasting or Hide trips. This is not a hotel. The accommodation is in cabins with your own bathroom but shared lounge facilities. This is what let's this place down. They are clean but very basic, but hey you won't get much time to sit around in your cabin at all. Remember to take soaps, shampoo and other personal items. If you ask you can borrow a hair dryer. What makes this place is the passion of the owners John and Lucy Lister-Kaye and their son Warwick. They are there on mornings and evenings to get involved and tell annecdotes. They do other special trips like Gardens or Fungi but this place is all about getting close to nature and is a true experience

This was my second visit and I certainly hope to come again. Accommodation and catering are excellent and the centre is in a splendid setting within its own grounds, which encompass woodland, moorland and a small loch, the home of beavers. The daily field trips were well planned to cover a variety of Highland habitats and to encounter many species - golden eagles, red deer, otters, dolphins and pine martens perhaps the most memorable among the great many seen. The rangers who lead the trips are first-rate in their knowledge and enthusiasm and their consideration for the groups in their care. Both my stays were for one week: the first (in 2010), "Walking and Wildlife", requiring more physical stamina than the second, "Aigas Wildlife", whicxh involved walking but of a gentler nature. For both, good waterproofs and footwear were essential, binoculars too, although these can be hired. Apart from wildlife weeks, there are others focussed on different topics. For example, there was a "Creative writing" group during my second visit, and the interaction between the groups over meals is stimulating.
