January News

With all the festivities well and truely over and the weather looking a bit easier to deal with, its time to look forward and plan for 2011!
Ian and I can't believe we are going into our 9th season! It was a quiet end to 2010 because of the weather, we had to cancel some of our Christmas and New Year bookings, which was very disappointing. The bookings are coming in for the coming year but much slower than normal. We think its going to be a tough year for everyone, the price of petrol being a big concern for most people!

The area is very quiet at the moment with many establishments closed until March/April. The Nevis Range is still open with several of the runs operating

http://snowsports.nevisrange.co.uk/ and the Clachaig is still very much open with a special Burns Night Supper on Sat.29th January www.clachaig.com

The site is closed until Sat.19th Feb., where we still have some availability. Special offers and short breaks are available, so give us a ring!

We are currently tidying up the site, Ian has just built a new wood shed to clear the wood pile away from the front of Stag. It looks great, a lot neater and somewhere for him to sleep if we fall out!!!!

Some of the fence panels in front of Tiranui Cottage need repaired or replaced, we haven't had much wind but what we have has been quite strong. They haven't lasted very well at all, we only put them up about 6 years ago!

Ian has tidied up some of the trees on the shore and behind the chalets, taking some of the stray branches off.

We are doing a deep clean on all the chalets, steam cleaning the carpets and sofas, replacing some of the bedding and generally getting them ready for February.

There is still some work to do on the new dam but we are slowly getting there and hopefully by the time the season starts it should be finished, so no more water problems, well as long as it doesn't get seriously cold again!!

Here are some pictures of various things which have happened over the last few weeks. Hope to see you all this year!
