A wealth of wildlife watching holidays!

Welcome to Heatherlea online, we hope you find something you like.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT RECENT COST INCREASES - ALL BAD NEWS?

NOT WITH HEATHERLEA!

Scotland at Mountview Hotel-
at prices unlikely to be seen again.

We own our Hotel in Nethybridge. This gives us more flexibility than most, so we can confidently say that for all holidays based at The Mountview Hotel, NO FUEL SURCHARGES IN 2008. The price we agree when we take your booking will be the price you pay - you will not get a nasty surprise before your holiday starts. You can also see our 'Early Birder' prices for 2009 holidays - this price will have to rise soon, so book now and this is the price you pay. Our legendary guiding skills are chosen by hundreds of you every year, and Heatherlea have a great record for finding all the key birds and mammals of Scotland. Book with confidence!

GO FURTHER!
From St Kilda to Coll - Sat 5 July - Sun 13 July
- at prices unlikely to be seen again.
One last shared cabin and one last place for a single lady at original price launched in June 2007. This holiday will be about 20% more expensive next year.

Overseas - at prices unlikely to be seen again.
Like everyone else we have to respond to cost increases, but we are fighting them hard! Because we have already paid many of our suppliers, we have some real bargains that simply won't be available again. Just take a look at these 'bin-end' bargains!

SPITSBERGEN 17 - 25 June 2008
One last en-suite double, plus one last single for a gent at original price launched in Feb 2007 - expect an increase of at least £500 in 2009.

GALAPAGOS 16 Oct - 15 Nov 2008
Two double cabins remaining at prices launched in 2007 - expect an increase of around £1000 in 2009.


Everyone who has travelled with Heatherlea in 2008 anywhere in the world has paid the price agreed at the time of booking. We have no plans (May 2008!) to issue any surcharges to any holiday.
