The accommodations were ideal, service was superb and setting was magical. The grounds of the estate were perfectly manicured and the Scottish Garden was breathtaking. A walk around the house and grounds was like taking a step back in time. We all loved the morning cook to order breakfast, chef prepared dinners and the very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Andrea and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome as they took care of every little thing and detail. Sad to say that I am not sure if I will ever come back to Hillhouse, but I feel very fortunate that I was able to stay there and experience such a special place with my friends.

Not only do they do their best to follow the itinerary, but they do their best to take into consideration what other things people wish to see. (I got to feed the highland coos and my friend got to go to lean to coffee) If you also had any questions regarding luggage size or about the stops, they were really quick to respond despite the time difference (8 hours from LA to Scotland) The tour max is 16 people and they run regardless if it's less than 16. The seats were very comfortable and there was a complimentary charging station in the seats near the window. My tour group was small (10 people in total) and they are all friendly and nice! Now the major factor in the tour is the unpredictable weather of Scotland. In my tour, it rained most of the trip, but the driver Chris was very strategic and re-arranged the itinerary to ensure we had the best possible experience at every stop we made. He was also very knowledgeable and gave fun facts and history bits. He even drove safely and always stopped to let the sheep cross the road. Some notable stops: - Quirang -I pretended I was a weather lady reporting the windy conditions - Broadford - I found lots of British exclusive chocolate and I had a big pile I took back on the bus - Fairy pools - an epic 2 hour hike with a bunch of rain - Loch Lomond - this went on for miles and miles and it was beautiful and blue - Sheep - lots of sheep everywhere - Dunvegan Castle - has a beautiful garden Overall, if you want an epic tour of the highlands do the 4 day and ensure that Chris is your driver!

There was a good selection of free leaflets, along with some items for sale including tea towels, rennie mcintosh products, calanders. The centre was easy enough to access but I could see it being a bit problematic in terms of space at the height of the summer just because of the size of it. It was clean and tidy so quite a nice tourist information centre really.

I was very pleasantly surprised. It's a lovely old building, situated in the clock tower in a very prominent position on the seafront.

I came away with a few leaflets having had a good chinwag with the lady there, who obviously had good local knowledge and appeared to be keen to help. Not just for tourists, this place is well worth a visit even if just to see what you're missing!

HOWEVER, the room-maximum rule is STRICTLY enforced. We were trying to fit 7 people into the 5-person suite and through the whole process with getting the key from reception each time we were found out (even though it was a different person at reception, so they must keep note of who the guests are when they check in). We were told the extra people could not stay so we had to find extra accommodations on a weekend in Glasgow where literally every hostel was booked. This is forgivable, because I'm sure they have lots of people trying to fit as many people into the cheap rooms in order to save money. In all other aspects, they were extremely hospitable: they allowed us to check in early and keep our luggage in the building after we checked out. It would have just been nice to know how strict they are on the room occupancy beforehand.

The Good: - Super cheap hotel right in the centre of…read moreGlasgow. - Decent breakfasts served from 7-9am. The Less-than-Good: - A shower that had a) barely found lukewarm (let alone hot), and b) was about as powerful as a sloth taking a piss. - Wi-fi only available in the breakfast room. - Wi-fi seemingly not available at all on laptops. - No TV remote. - A fire alarm that goes off at 5am 3 out of 6 nights (50% of the time, it works everytime!) - Need to leave your key at reception whenever you leave, meaning a lenghty wait for it back if the receptionist has taken a walk or there are other folk checking in. - 30% of plug sockets out of order. A decent price for anyone spending a night in the city, but for stays any longer than a couple of nights, invest a little more. Not really worth paying for everything that was wrong with it.

However, we had need of a more customised holiday trip than just a standard return flight as we want to got to New Zealand and then spend a few days in Sydney on the way back; so as we were passing and purely on a whim, we went in here to see what they could offer. As it turns out, they specialise in Oz & NZ flights and Craig, the assistant manager, was super helpful and advised us on several different options. We went home with a brochure and made a list of things we wanted to include, then (having made an appointment) we went back in to meet Craig again. After immediately saving us nearly £1000 by going with a different airline (via Gatwick, my least favourite airport, but hey ho), Craig immediately got on the phone whilst we went and did a bit of shopping. Twenty minutes later, he had put together the whole itinerary, including hotels, car hire, ferries, flights - the lot! It's probably the most expensive holiday we've ever booked, and I don't know how much more or less it would have cost had we tried to sort everything out ourselves; but I really don't care! The time it saved, and the ease at which Craig put this complete package together made it entirely worthwhile, as all we need to do now (apart from paying the balance of course!) is turn up at the airport, secure in the knowledge that every detail of the trip is taken care of.

The only reason, I say seemingly is because; despite having superb advice and spending hours pouring over their deals and then regurgitating them to a selection of family and friends, I have never actually booked a holiday here. Shameful, I know but money rules the world, not love unfortunately. Otherwise, I'd have been globe trotting with the help of these lovely people for some time. Therefore, if you have the finances then please go and see what Flight Centre can offer you. It's cheap, cheerful and a great place to be. The only better holiday place is being actually on holiday.

As Jody B was in Glasgow for the day, I thought this was the best way of seeing everything with the added bonus of being able to hop off to go drinking in the West End. Buses depart from George Square (but I believe you can get on at any of the stops) and it takes about 1 hour 20 minutes to do a full loop of the tour - taking in some of Merchant City & the East End, the river and the West End. It's £14 per adult (you can save a measly £1 if you book online) which I think is a little steep actually - it was better value when that ticket got you two days of entertainment. There's commentary as you go around - I thought our guide was just "ok" - some of the pubs he pointed out as recommendations aren't places I'd recommend anyone go, let alone a tourist to Glasgow and sometimes he'd forget what he was saying and just trail off. It was kind of entertaining, but compared to other guides I've had on the bus previously, this guy was just average. We stayed on the bus until Kelvingrove and then got off to wander around the museum and then go drinking in Finnieston. It's a good way of seeing Glasgow but like I said earlier, I'm not sure that's worth £14 per adult. Maybe we should've just had a taxi drive us around.
