    "Our visit was pleasant. The place was clean. We received a nice banana loaf from the host Anneline. The Tv didn't work though with no info upfront."

  • "Misleading"

    24 July 2017

    "When deciding where to stay one of the first things in the advert to draw us to Die Stal was the Aga stove ... lo and behold there is no Aga stove or oil heaters in every room in fact no heater. There is a two plate mini stove with no knobs on the dials not on ... the house reeked of smoke from the previous guests braaing in the house.When we arrived our host informed us that we best shower in the evening as the pipes tend to freeze through the night and that there was no shower door as the previous guests had broken the door (whether this was the guests that booked out on the day of our arrival or prior is not known). The shower was very brief as you freeze your butt off with no door. Further the previous guests half used soaps were still in the shower ... just gross.We had to make a fire to attempt to heat up the place but this too was just bad ... wet wood and the flue didn't extract the smoke properly so we were filled with a house full of smoke. Kitchen cupboard doesn't close properly and you have to tie it with a piece of string. Got so cold we upped and left at 8 in the morning we were jist so cold.On the bright side the stars were amazing! Overall misleading, disappointing and definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone in the middle of winter."

  • "Great stay"

    12 June 2017

    "Really enjoyed this place. Definitely worth a visit. It was nice and private yet close to town. The owner was welcoming and the attention to detail could be seen with fresh flowers and fire wood."

  • "Nice little cottage on the outskirts of town"

    05 April 2017

    "Everything was great, lovely stars from the house. Only downside was that there was no hot water in the morning. Freezing cold showers on a chilly morning are not the best. Otherwise it was a lovely little cottage."

  • "Perfect place to stay"

  • "Star mazing"

    30 December 2016

    "Absolutely fabulous little rock house with peace. The house is situated at the end of.the street out of the business area which also makes it a peaceful area. Our host was amazing and went out of.her way treating us with special little things; fruit on a arival with flowers in the house and rooms. Loved the fireplace and cooking area inside. We do not even have words to describe the stars at night"

  • "Enjoyable stay"

    27 June 2016

    "We had a lovely overnight stay at Die Stal. The accommodation is very clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. We lit a fire in the open fireplace at night and it kept us warm in the freezing Sutherland weather, as did the electric blankets. Would definitely recommend it. A visit to the nearby Sterland stargazing experience is also well worth it."

  • "Great stay"

    11 October 2015

    "We stayed for one night at Die Stal. The cottage was clean and ready for us with fresh flowers on the table. The big fireplace is great when it gets cold outside and we had a lovely evening. The kids loved the space available to kick a ball and the sheep that stayed close by."
