Happy 2012!

Happy New Year to everyone, hope 2012 will be a very happy and healthy one!

It's been a few weeks since we posted anything on our blog (just getting over the festivities!). It was a fairly quiet Christmas on the site, with not many bookings over Christmas, although it did get busier for New Year. Everyone who stayed seemed to have a good time, the only thing that spoiled it was the weather! It has been very wet and windy for a few weeks now, with a couple of major storms which have brought their own problems.
Several people went out for Hogmany and enjoyed the local entertainment, with some heading to the Clachaig www.clachaig.com where a good night was had by all. We had some guests who ate at the Holly tree and enjoyed it and some headed for the McDonald in Kinlochleven, where there was a party night www.macdonaldhotel.co.uk.

Now its over for another year we can look forward to 2012 and all that it may bring. We have decided to open this January, so if you are looking for a escape for a few days, maybe to try and get in some winter walking or skiing www.glencoemountain.com, we have some short break offers. Mon-Fri is only £205 and Fri-Mon only £185, so give us a ring if you want more information. It is expected that this weekend it will drop cold and we will get some fresh snow!

We have been busy with the clean up after the big storm on the 8th Dec., we lost 2 roofs, several trees and a few dustbins (which we still haven't found)!!! Our laundry and out building lost its roof completely and our big storage shed is half missing. Several trees have fallen and some need to be taken down because they are dangerous. We were very lucky because all the chalets and houses escaped without damage.
It is quite unusual to get such bad storms in December, normally we get stormy weather in January but it seems to have hit the whole country this year.



This is the laundry roof which has been partly protected just waiting for the tiles etc to be put on!

I am just looking at some weather statistics for Nov. and Dec. and I will post them over the next few days. Needless to say its not telling us anything we didn't know. WET & WINDY!!!
