When organising a golfing or leisure vacation, it is important to know that you are working with an experienced company who will be able to assist you with all aspects of your trip.

Over our 25 years in business we have had the pleasure in welcoming over thirty thousand visitors to the UK and Ireland. During this time our experience and expertise has grown to provide our clients with vacations to remember. This has resulted in Best of Scotland Holidays having the pleasure in welcoming many of our clients time and time again.

We are pleased to provide you with a selection of testimonials from some of our clients...

Hello Lesley:

Many, many, many thanks for arranging a wonderful holiday. Rachel and I returned last night with a tremendous appreciation of your wonderful country. We were quite fortunate to have superb weather. The package that you organised gave us a nice taste of the regions of the country (I would have loved to stay longer in each place but that is indeed the lament of every tourist). The countryside was a pleasure to behold and made even more enjoyable in a train where I did not have to concentrate on driving. The cities are steeped in history and I wish only that I could have absorbed more. The trip to Oban and the islands was the jewel in the crown, so to speak. The lodgings were fine; Rachel especially liked the hotel in Inverness. I had haggis neeps and tatties three times and loved every mouthful and all evenings were capped with a most pleasant wee dram. We did not, however, catch a glimpse of anything untoward on the Loch Ness.

Once again our thanks and compliments on providing us with a lovely, comprehensive and well-planned Scotland Holiday.

Most Sincerely,

Ken Carlson

Hi Lesley,

Thank you so much for such a professionally arranged experience. Absolutely nothing went wrong! We had a wonderful time and everyone agreed that it was well worth spending our hard earned Rands on the tour.

The Royal Scots Club was certainly the correct choice and we really enjoyed the excellent breakfasts and the dinner held the night before we left. The important thing was that we got to do everything that we wanted to do. Only time constraints we had was on the day we visited Culloden which we got to just before closing and hence we did not get to Fort George and the last day when we opted out of the drive through the Trossachs as we would have gotten back late. However, this was not a problem for us.

Sorry we did not get to meet you personally, though George did tell us that you are good looking and have an excellent sense of humour! We will certainly pass on your contact details to any of our friends who might want to visit Scotland in the future.

Kind regards,

Kevin Townsend and the rest of the Wit Rifles Regimental Association party

"The people of Scotland--you're marvellous!  Extremely friendly people...made the trip fun for us.

All in all, it was a delightful trip -- whew! That’s a lot of writing above...you, and Marie and your staff did all you could to make this a very successful trip for me, and I certainly appreciate that ... I look forward to working with you in the future on another garden tour...we'll make it even better next time...

Dear Lesley,  

"I would like to thank you for all your arrangements for our holiday. My family and I had a very pleasant and pampering break! We were fascinated by the golf, food, whiskies, castles, scenery and last but not least the many nice people of Scotland!    We particularly enjoyed our stays at Rusacks Hotel, Culloden House, Pool House and Inverlochy Castle. As spoken, we were disappointed about the Pittodrie House Hotel. It was a nice facility but the service was not acceptable. The on-duty manager, Mr. Theo Smith, did offer us a refund if the room was not pre-paid and I wonder if there is still any possibility of such arrangement.

Thank you again and I have referred your contact to a few friends who are considering Scotland as their next holiday destination. Take care!"  

Regards,

Hi Lesley

"I got your email address from Kari Thomas at Will Travel here in the US. You recently helped arrange my trip to Scotland with Kari.  Scott Benshoff and I returned home on Sunday from a fabulous trip to Scotland. I wanted to thank you for helping with the arrangements.  The accomodations could not have been nicer.   We truly had a fabulous time.  I am so glad we ended up staying at the Machrie House on Islay as Rachel was a fantastic hostess. She was so friendly and informative, I truly felt like I was at home there. Thank you again from Scott & I.  We hope to come back to Scotland again in the future to see all of the areas that we weren't able to see on this trip.  Eleven days was just not enough.  But it was enough to realize how beautiful the country is and made us want to return." 

Kind Regards,

"I had a chance to catch up with the Theisen’s in Ireland, they were ecstatic about the trip.  The highlight was staying at a haunted castle! They just loved Scotland, and greatly enjoyed Ireland.  Thank you, they raved about the trip!

Hope to send more people over to you".

"just a note to tell  you what a wonderful job you did for us in putting our trip together. It really was a trip of a lifetime. We enjoyed the places we stayed and played even more golf on our days off. The weather was great only had rain and wind  at Royal Troon , we geared up and played.

I highly recommend you and your company to anyone who is traveling to Scotland".

Thanks again.

Have a great Day
