Well! QA Inspection just over for another year and we're still sitting very comfortably at the top of the 3 and 4 star brackets. They were most impressed with the brand new kitchens going in to Creag Mhor and Glen Mhor, the 4 star Lodges. Creag Mhor's is complete and our German guests are thrilled with the addition of a dishwasher, not to mention new ceramic hob, oven and fridge - all 'A' rated to help keep the carbon footprint under control - more work surface, under cupboard lights and twin bin for sorting the rubbish for the Council's new recyclable waste collection bin.
Meanwhile the Cottage porch is getting a makeover with some slate-look tiles which should look very smart.
The Wi-Fi we put in last year has been very popular with our guests, who can use it to check out what's on around Arisaig while they're here.
Another new venture we are dippping our toes in this year is sea kayak hire. Being keen kayakers ourselves and lucky enough to live in what is recognised as one of the most fantastic sea kayaking destinations in the world, we are happy to share our knowledge and now our boats with like minded paddlers who would like to hire a boat for a day or 2, or even a week or more, to explore the area. 
As we don't have the time at the moment to come out with you on the water, hire will be restricted to paddlers with some experience.
The daffodils are blooming and Spring will soon be on it's way so we look forward to seeing you all at Ach na skia Croft soon. You might even see a few developments up at the new house, though progress is at a standstill again at the moment while we polish the skirting boards for all our 2009 guests!
