McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

All arrangements made by McKinlay Kidd were fantastic. They booked us the best possible accommodation on each island, took our personal requests into account and provided loads of information to help us make the most of every aspect of our holiday.

We wanted to travel on the Wild Atlantic Way and started at Tahilla Cove which is near Kenmare and has lovely views of lakes and mountains. Our next stop was Lahinch, in a beautiful hotel set on a headland just outside the town, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Our last stop was Clifden in Connemara, again with beautiful views of mountains and lakes. The scenery was spectacular, the weather was, luckily, great and the overall experience was what I hoped it would be.

From the time I first contacted the company they were so helpful. They set up a tailor made itinerary for us which was exactly what I would have chosen myself. The information pack they sent us was very comprehensive with regard to the hotels they chose, the places of interest to visit at each location and general information they thought might be of help to us. We were even upgraded for an issue of which we were unaware to a lovely hotel. Whilst away, we celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary and they mentioned this to the hotel who provided some little treats for us. I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and would definitely recommend them to my friends. I hope to use their services when I next visit Ireland.

We spent 8 days on Mull and during that time did three all day wildlife trips which were all very well organised and which resulted in some really great sightings of eagles, dolphins, puffins, minke whale and loads of birds. Our accommodation was very comfortable and all arrangements went extremely well.

Very helpful and efficient, good information provided and all arrangements went without hitch.

A four centre self drive holiday to the north of Ireland using four venues in eleven days.

McKinlay Kidd put together a bespoke package which fully met our needs.

Just returned from the Outer Hebrides following a ten day adventure from Barra ending in Stornoway. Fantastic time, beautiful scenery and excellent accommodation with wonderful Scotish welcome. The trip to St Kilda was the high spot and not to be missed weather permitting

Mc Kinlay Kidd were exceptional and always at hand to help if the Scotish weather tried to be unhelpful. Great planning and an excellent choice of accommodation and helpful holiday trips and adventures.

I would recommend this trip to anyone whom likes history, scenery and multi season weather. Accommodation as organised was great and we were greeted each day as friends. The area has so much diversity to offer. Of course landing on Barra Beach is a real buzz. Had a good otter viewing and saw lots of seals.

The team are incredibly well organised and offer a very professional service.

We had always wanted to travel around Scotland by train so that we could take in the scenery. The holiday arranged by McKinlay Kidd seemed to fit our ideas and we were very pleased with the whole trip. The hotels/ guest houses were excellent and all made us very welcome and relaxed. The food was superb wherever we stayed. We had taken a wheelchair for use by one of the party when she was tired and everyone was extremely helpful. The attention to detail on our itinerary provided by Hamish at McKinlay Kidd was excellent, and included assistance at the train stations which he had organised. Our itinerary took in Spean Bridge, Skye (via the Jacobite steam train from Fort William to Mallaig), Inverness, and Pitlochry.

McKinlay Kidd were excellent. Hamish was very helpful. We were most impressed that a Mckinlay Kidd visit all of the accommodation that they recommend.

A very enjoyable experience with first class travel arrangements and excellent hotlas

Extremely efficient and very pleasant to deal with

4 days on Orkney, 4 days on Sheltland, with fascinating archaeology, great scenery, abundant birdlife and two charming, high quality hotels.

Most helpful, taking trouble to create a bespoke package for us. The accommodaion was well chosen, all the flight and car-hire dove-tailed nicely, and we had agreat time.

Picked up a car in Inverness and drove around North Scotland, starting on the East Coast and finishing on the West. Marvellous, varied scenery, exciting weather , nice people, good food. Well-positioned, comfortable accommodation. All organised by McKinlay Kidd.

A friend in London, (we are from Australia) suggested the North Coast 500 trip and recommended McKinlay Kidd, through whom they had previously done a trip through the West Scottish Isles. They organised a great trip for us; there were no hiccups.
