Welcome to Heatherlea, your natural destination for wildlife!

We have just returned home after enjoying our Orkney Islands Explorer holiday and would like particularly to express our thanks and appreciation to our guide. He is an excellent ornithologist and bird watcher and his understanding and pleasure in sharing his knowledge shone through with every sighting. The holiday has provided a good introduction to the Islands, island life, and excellent bird watching opportunities. Thank you Heatherlea!

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. It was a very friendly group and both guides were really good, it was just a pity the weather was a bit off at times. I want to thank all at Heatherlea for the very efficient way the trip was organised and run. It was our first trip with you and is unlikely to be our last.

Just a quick note to thank you and all the staff at Mountview Hotel for a lovely trip. We greatly enjoyed the week we had with our guides and fellow birders. They worked really hard to get us the target species and we had great views of Golden Eagle, Black Grouse, Black-throated Diver and many others. We were also very grateful for the lengths that that the cooks and serving staff went-to, catering for my food allergies. Their hard work was very much appreciated, thank you.
