We crept away at the start of April, renovations done, house reopened for bookings, just a teeny bit trepidatious about how people would react to the revamp. We went back at the start of May, and I went straight to the new visitor book to see if anyone had left a note, mentally girding myself for complaints.
Well, if the first entries are anything to go by, the reactions are good! (Don’t worry, I don’t plan to post every entry as they come in 
) And as you know, complimenting someone’s house is like saying nice things about their child, so I feel all warm and glowy about it now.
I loved it! So beautiful and relaxing! Lots of wallabys and [sic] sqriells
It was aw[e]some to stay. We all loved it.
A thoroughly comfortable and enjoyable stay in your beautiful house.
Amazing house! Very well equiped. Thank you for making it a lovely home away from home.
What a beautiful place to relax and unwind! We loves it. So comfy and well appointed. Thanks for making it a great place to stay. PS The transformation is awesome!
Thank you to the guests who commented, and all those who’ve stayed there since we reopened. The weather has become dramatically colder (which is lovely after the summer heatwaves) so the blankets and split cycle heater came in handy. I hope our visitors continue to enjoy staying there, and we will keep working on Lochanbar to tweak and improve it more.
