The Heatherlea Story

Heatherlea was founded by Kevin and Caryl Shaw in 1991 at Heatherlea Guest House in Boat of Garten, six miles from the current location in Nethybridge. They began Heatherlea for the very best reason: they wanted to go birding with their guests. Both Kevin and Caryl left careers behind in Oxford to migrate north, and have never regretted the move.

Growing with Demand

The small guest house was full in its second year, and in 1998 the company responded to demand by moving to The Mountview in Nethybridge. From here, Heatherlea delivers holidays to hundreds of people every year.
