I know I go on about the lovely vegetation around here, but it is one of the real pleasures of Carradale. At the moment all the hills are purple with rhodendron flowers - almost makes up for the green leather hills the rest of the year. And I certainly didn't expect my tropeoleum (spelling?) to survive the winter, let alone be the best it's ever been.

Quite a lot of last minuters at the moment - don't forget you get a massive 25% discount if you book within 7 days of arriving. We always enjoy unexpected visitors - our local windfarm seems to generate a lot of interesting people. The sub-station in the village has undergone major upgrading and we get everyone from ecologists studying the damage to the environment to seriously brilliant boffins who are stitching the whole thing together.
