The chef, he was fantastic, preparing such quality food in such a small area, he was brilliant. Plus catching my first fish!!!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Go with an open mind, don't watch Jane MacDonald and expect what you see on TV, but go anyway, you will not be disappointed.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I was pleased to spend money in the area and I could see what a profound effect Covid and Brexit had on the Western Isles. Not so sure about environmental impact or conservation.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent, value for money definitely, but we had Cabin 1 which did not leak. I felt a little sorry for those that experienced problems with water in the cabin. The crew were first rate and could not fault them, the company on board was also first rate. An experience I hope to repeat in a couple of years time, thank you.Read the operator's response here:
Dear Michael
Thank you so much for your very kind comments. We are delighted that you had a wonderful time and look forward to welcoming you back on board soon.
We are very pleased to tell you that Glen Massan will spend the winter receiving some much-needed TLC and will be back to start the new season in April.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
All of it!!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Make sure you have waterproof over trousers and jacket. There are lots of lovely walks when onshore but if the weather is inclement, wet jeans can take away some of the pleasure.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes. Trips were organised to various local businesses - we especially enjoyed our visit to the cheese factory at Tobermory; then there was whisky tasting and local chocolate tasting - which encouraged us to buy.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Absolutely fabulous. The crew went the extra mile.......and much more.......to ensure that we had a wonderful holiday, despite poor weather. The food was amazingly good and the other passengers were excellent companions. All the onboard facilities were clean and comfortable and, for such a small boat, the cabins were surprisingly spacious.Sandra Jones review 26 May 2017

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The whole of our holiday was wonderful. The crew were all great, friendly and so helpful. The food was delicious every meal, and plentiful too! The cruise was the best way to see some of Scotland’s beautiful scenery and wildlife. The only fault, we wished it didn't have to end!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Don't forget your binoculars. Sensible shoes and a waterproof for when up on deck and the weather damp.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I am not sure about these things as we didn't buy any local items.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Our holiday was planned as a special treat, and it exceeded our expectations.Holiday Reviews
