“Memorable, delightful and thoroughly enjoyable!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We arrived in the dark on Friday night to the warmest of welcomes and an outstanding dinner. Penny is an exquisite hostess in every way - the food, the relaxed atmosphere. We quickly felt we had arrived at friends' house for a dinner party. We woke the next morning to the beautiful scenery up and down Loch Tay, and the silence of the countryside. The bedroom was perfectly decorated (White Company /French style), the en suite immaculate and fresh. The breakfast was quite superb, as we sat beside the huge glass windows looking down to the loch and being entertained by red squirrels on the deck outside! Roland and Penny were excellent hosts in every respect and this is an experience we will be repeating.

“The rock house rocks!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2011

This place is really special. Our stay was completely faultless, from the delightful owners to the stunning house/interior and surrounding views - a highlight for me was the best breakfast that I think I've ever had. Miles better than 5* hotels that I've stayed in. Go there and experience it for yourself - you definitely won't regret it.

“Relaxed, friendly and luxurious getaway break in the Highlands...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011

We stayed with hosts Penny and Roland in Rock House between Christmas and New Year, as a very last-minute treat. From the first phonecall on Boxing Day to waving us away after a 2 night stay, we could not have felt better accommodated. The House itself is stunning (think Grand Designs with location managed by Where Eagles Dare), but it is the nature of the stay that makes for such a great break. Even Alfie (the family Norwich Terrier) was determined to make us feel welcome, and great extra treats such as lighting a campfire down by the lochside, all conspired to encourage many repeat visits. For us the best bit of all was being pampered by Penny's amazing cooking on our second night, having been ably wine-advised by the very knowledgable Roland - we loved the meal and felt like Royalty!

Hoping we can find an excuse to be in Loch Tay again very soon - thanks again to our hosts.

“Fabulous. A blissful stay.”

Fabulous hosts. Fabulous architecture. Fabulous interior. Fabulous cooking. Fabulous surroundings. We loved the Rockhouse and would recommend it without hesitation. Five stars all round. I especially loved the gorgeous downstairs bedroom we stayed in and the luxurious en suite bathroom full of White Company toiletries, dressing gown and slippers. Oh and that Penny was so lovely she even gave us a glass of milk before we headed off for bed!!

“A Little Piece of Heaven!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Part of us has been left behind in this beautiful part of the world...Rock House, Loch Tay is a piece of heaven on Earth that has stolen a little piece of our souls to stay behind forever in its green and stunning land...From the moment we landed in Scotland we were warmed by its friendly people and awesome landscape - even more so when we arrived at Rock House and were met by the charming Roland...and later that evening by the lovely Penny. We felt like family and were treated as such...Our bedroom was clean, bright and fresh and the comfy bed made with crisp white cotton sheets and piled with sumptuous pillows and cushions...We could lay on the bed feeling totally cossested drinking tea,nibbling on the delicious biscuits (not, thankfully, custard creams or rich tea) and later in the evening sipping wine and crunching on the Kettle crisps and chocolate (also provided - great touch!!)...Breakfast was a long and delicious affair...everything (bar the milk, coffee, tea and butter) made by Penny's fair hand.. From the intensely fruity selection of homemade jams and marmalades slathered thickly on homemade bread, to the creamy yoghurt poured over handpicked blueberries and sprinkled with cinnamon crunch (again Penny's own recipe) to the mother of all breakfast grand finale's - the cooked breakfast! Exquisite and cooked to exact specification - even, much to Penny's chagrin, having to purposefully overcook eggs to meet the strange taste's of my parter Mike (well his is American!!). And all this calorific cosseting whilst watching the moods of Loch Tay from the huge windows, or looking enviously at all the lovely pieces of Art and bits and bobs that are in abundance at Rock House... Ideal Home should do an article on these talented people and they definately should be on the telly! Penny is Scotland's answer to Nigella Lawson and Roland...well words fail but he even lent us a camera as we could not find ours!! I could eulogise about Rock House and its lovely inhabitants (including Alfie the sweetest Norwich Terrier ever) for hours but the best thing is to go up to Rock House and find out for yourself...beware though, you might not want to leave...We will be booking again for sure...(ps ignore your sat nav - heed the Rock House directions, or you could end up like a white stretch limo we came across on a one track hairpin bend: completely wedged and immovable). Sarah and Mike
