I think I should start by stating that I’ve visited the Log Cabin since I was 7/8 years old. I now take my nonagenarian parents back and have introduced my own boys, aged 14 and 15.5. A good age spread for a review! My parents love it and of course they’re war children; my kids are generation whatever and seemingly exist attached to their electronic devices. Except they don’t when we’re in Golspie - they’re too busy climbing Ben Braggie, or swimming in the sea, or eagle watching, dolphin watching, hiking, “playing” in Big Burn. We climb Ben Nevis or Ben Hope. We rick climb. We watch the sunset at the end of the world (John O’Groats). Kids eat local beef and fish straight out the sea. As my father taught me, I teach my boys to fly fish, play golf. They eat ice cream. And when it rains (it does that in Scotland) we light a fire and play Monopoly or Risk (we’re boys… sorry Mum). If you want a sauna and all-inclusive 5* accommodation don’t bother; if you want a holiday where you’ll feel alive and glad to be alive then come. It is what it is. Fabulous. Frankly I’d rather less people knew about this slice of heaven. I’m biased you say? Absolutely! I’ve been all over the world in 5 star hotels and this is unquestionably my favourite holiday. The best thing? It’s now my boys’ favourite too and that’s not indoctrination. Don’t bother trying to book the last 2 weeks August … I’m afraid I’ve reserved them until I’m pushing up daisies; I suspect you’ll have to contend with my boys then!
