Sir John and Lady Lister-Kaye must be congratulated on creating this unique brand of comfort and wildlife in such a glorious setting. From the moment we arrived and opened the impressive front door to find a sitting room with a blazing fire, no immediate reception staff but guests quietly chatting in the sitting room we realised just how special this is. Almost everyone we met had stayed before, which tells its own tale. Tea arrived quickly, with a warm formal welcome giving us an overwhelming feeling of comfort and anticipation. Our lodge was warm too, all facilities present, surrounded by gardens, huge trees, and at night in October the sound of close-by roaring red deer stags. There were three week-long courses running at once, and for breakfast and supper all of them intermingled. This also works brilliantly as everyone swaps experiences. The food is fantastic, high quality, local, varied. The rangers are outstanding and the planning of the tours impeccable and well-varied according to weather conditions. Not all the set-pieces worked, we failed to see otters and some groups missed out on dolphins. That's wildlife, and this isn't in any sense a zoo. Sightings have to be worked for, and every effort is made to find the desired species. The pine martens performed magnificently. Sheer attention to detail in all aspects makes for a brilliant overall experience and we shall be back when we can. In terms of value-for-money it is just amazing. It is not usually available to the general public on a day basis but book on one of the courses for an unforgettable experience.

I was lucky enough to be invited to a surprise 90th Birthday afternoon tea at this beautiful house yesterday. We were warmly welcomed by Lady Lucy and shown into a lovely sitting room complete with comfy sofas and a roaring log fire which was a real treat on such a wet afternoon.A round table was set for tea in a window with views over the colourful garden. A glass of Champagne was poured when the Birthday girl was shown in then followed by the most delicious and beautifully presented afternoon tea anywhere.Aigas Field Centre runs courses on many subjects including painting, sketching, birds, day trips to interesting places and more and our 90 year old friend has been a regular visitor there for years calling it her home from home. Thank you Lady Lucy for giving us the insight yesterday as to why she loves it so much and if you can find time to add afternoon teas for the general public to your repertoire I am sure they would be a great success.

A highlight of our Nat Hab Scotland trip, Sir John & Lady Lucy graciously hosted us for lunch & tea, gave us a house tour. We were on our own to wander the spectacular gardens. Not only did we get to hike the property - around the lake and to the fort site, but we also got to observe a Pine Marten visit from the hide at night.
