Travel reviews by Ms C & Mr B from Inverness

Johanna & Ernst Sauber, the owners of Bullsport Guest Farm, described themselves as ‘shaken’ by this review when they were sent it – as they pride themselves not only on their hospitality, service, but also on being able to integrate different nationalities and languages around an engaging dinner-table discussion without anybody feeling excluded.

However, checking their dates they realised that, unusually, they were both away from the farm that day – and commented “sadly, our back up team is not yet up to the challenge. It is very difficult to get someone as a relief manager for ‘normal’ lodge, but in a personal establishment like ours it’s an even greater challenge.”

They added that “All the ingredients to a healthy breakfast should have been available in full: bread, butter, jams and other preserves as well as coffee, milk, sugar on the breakfast table, homemade muesli, cereals, fruits, yoghurt, milk, cottage cheese, cold meats, cheeses, Hot water, a selection of teas, toast are offered buffet style. Eggs are to order, and normally our breakfast chef takes the orders from each guest individually. A Jura coffee machine can be used, if guests prefer Espresso or any other special coffee for breakfast, this coffee machine is on the breakfast buffet.”

They assured us that it’s rare for them both to be away from the farm, but they’ll work especially hard on their team’s service and hospitality for the few days that they’re not around themselves.
