Stephen our travel agent was fantastic. I am recommending him to some friends traveling there next year. All the tours were excellent except the wildlife tour on the boat. They told us to review the safety notice ourselves. They mentioned 2 islands and that was all they said. We saw seal on an island and they said nothing about them. When the porpoises appeared in the water, she rushed out on to the deck and whispered there they are.

All the other's were fantastic. They were so knowledgeable and made it fun. Can't say enough about them.

The rooms were nice. Especially liked the Tiger Lilly and the Eden Locke. The place in Pitlochry was neat up on the hill. Very nice and quiet to sit outside. The Georgian in London was tight but nice. The Garrison was ehh...really tight, our door didn't lock at one point, parking was poor, but there breakfast was nice. The Perle was good breakfast, room was big, parking was poor-we had to walk several blocks in the rain. (but I guess that is Scotland, LOL) We had the best fresh mussels there right on the shore.

Our feet were definitely sore but we knew that was part of it. We figured we walked about 10 miles per day, so close to 100 miles the whole trip. The car was fun, it ran well, no problems. Hamilton was fantastic.

Over all...very very satisfied. Thank you for making out mother/daughter trip a huge success.

Hi Lona Thank you for the 5 star review. I'm nearly blushing. I love receiving backup that the bespoke trips we create are really great and appeal to all kinds of folks like yourselves! I really loved creating your trip. The London Westend show is a favourite thing we like to add in.

Hi Lona

Thank you for the 5 star review. I'm nearly blushing. I love receiving backup that the bespoke trips we create are really great and appeal to all kinds of folks like yourselves!

I really loved creating your trip. The London Westend show is a favourite thing we like to add in.

I am also happy that you liked the Tiger Lilly and the Eden Locke, two stalwarts of our trips to Edinburgh. Hotels that have personality and reflect coolness of the city (can I say that?).

Thanks for mentioning the cruise concerns; we will not propose this one again I think it was underwhelming for you, and I believe it.

Happy to know you liked the adventure in the UK!

Regards & thanks
Stephen Molloy & the team at High Point Holidays
