Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

Yesterday morning we were waiting inside Aspenwood Cottage for the new 3 piece suite to arrive from a store in Inverness as arranged. Unfortunately overnight there had been a new shower of snow which had iced up on the driveway leading down to the cottage. We saw the furniture van arrive and park at the top of the driveway so we walked up to investigate. We met Jimmy wearing a very serious expression who told us that although the van would get down the driveway there was no way it would get back up to the top road on the compacted ice so they might have to deliver it another day. The disappointment must have shown on our faces. Jimmy went back to the van and had a long chat with his co-worker Charlie. After a tense wait they emerged and agreed to carry the new 3 piece suite down to the cottage. We helped by loading up all the seats, cushions and the pouffe in our car and between us all the new 3 piece suite is now in situ in the lounge and looks great....well worth the effort. Ray has written to the furniture store to say a big thanks to Jimmy and Charlie.
