"Perfect stay for my partners 30th! The apartment is kitted out with everything you could possibly need. Gorgeous surroundings and overall a lovely place to stay! Jonathan was super helpful and even left us with some tasty snacks and a stock of the essentials for our stay."
"The lodge was simply stunning, with an abundance of home comforts. It's clear a lot of thought and effort has been put into making guests feel at home. Jonathan is an excellent host — very responsive and gives the impression nothing is too much trouble. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Highwinds."
"From the moment you enter, it instantly feels like home. The rooms are a great size, and having a bathroom in each room is even better! The appliances, food — everything was nothing short of amazing. We had a wonderful time and created special Christmas memories."
"Absolutely fantastic — gorgeous, comfortable, massive house. So well equipped; we could have just moved in quite easily. We were stunned to discover that Jonathan had left us a well-stocked kitchen of bagels and treats, and had even provided Lucozade as he knew we were racing! 10/10 across the board."
"One of the nicest accommodations we've had the pleasure of staying at, mostly because of the hosts' excellent communication and personal touches. They went above and beyond. Couldn't recommend more."
"Our group of 10 were all overjoyed with the quality of accommodations at Highwinds. We all loved having ensuite bathrooms, comfortable beds and a huge social kitchen. The location was scenic and peaceful. Excellent communication from our host Jonathan."
