TESTIMONIALS
What an amazing place, it’s so peaceful and relaxing at GlenIsle. We spent our days exploring and spotting the wildlife and our evenings were spent chilling in the hot tub with a wee Prosecco. The cabin was so comfortable and is beautifully decorated. We all felt thoroughly refreshed on the Monday, it was just what the doctor ordered. A big thank you to Gillian Blaylock for making sure everything was perfect for us we really did appreciate all the little touches. Dogs are welcome and ours loved his wee break. - Stayed in GlenIsle

Booked a few times now with Gillian and Bonnie Escapes and I can highly recommend - her vans and lodges are immaculate. She really has thought of everything and there is so many special little touches. I hadn’t booked a lot of vans privately so I was a bit scared handing over money to a stranger, but it was such smooth sailing clear communication and Gillian is always helpful and ready to answer any questions. I think I'm on booking five or six with bonnie escapes now! - Stayed in Paul Jones Bay 71

We are just back from a holiday at Bonnie Escapes and it was fabulous. The caravan was beautiful, the view is stunning and it is right next to the beach. The welcome hamper, robes and luxury toiletries are an extra special touch. The bed was also super comfy. The host was very attentive and we can’t wait to book another break again. I would highly recommend. - Stayed in Paul Jones Bay 80
