This weekend we were both off, so we tried to book a sort getaway. Finding somewhere that appealled and ticked all of our boxes was no easy task and we left it a little late (again) - what’s new eh? In the end we decided not to go too far and booked what we hoped would be a weekend of peace and tranquility - on Kintyre! Neither of us had ever visited the area before,so it presented a lot of new places to explore.

Our accommodation came courtesy of the Landmark Trust, an organisation I can recommend without reservation for anyone in the UK. We stayed in Saddell Lodge, which as it allows dogs meant we didn’t need to find anyone to dogsit Tess. I suspect she enjoyed it as much as we did, or even more given how muddy she ended up

More pictures will follow over the next few days.

We returned home today after a thoroughly relaxing weekend.
