Mckenzie Mountaineering - Guided Walking Adventures

What an amazing Holliday we have had. Fresh back from a 6 day hiking holiday in Gran Canaria & absolutely buzzing from the experience.Our group was mixed ability and Rosie & Ben were excellent at attending to the different needs of the group. Everything was so well planned, taking all of the hassle out & leaving us to thoroughly enjoy the breath taking views and absorb the Canarian culture.Rosie & Ben were fabulous guides & even more fabulous companions, giving us loads of laughs, lots of culture, a wealth of geological & botanical knowledge, and above all, a blossoming friendship.It is honestly the best holiday I have ever had and I’m now planning another bespoke trip for my family with McKenzie mountaineering. Can’t wait.

Spent a week with Rosie and Ben while on a geology trip to the GeoPark. Such great people, really friendly and helpful and super hosts. The views from kitchen and deck were stunning, all the way to the head of Loch Broom. The mountains around are fantastic and only a 5 min drive into Ullapool which is great. Really good shops and fantastic fish restaurants. Fascinating history and great feel.If you’re up that way their B and B is amazing and worth every penny. I’d give 8 stars if there were any!!

We enjoyed a great walk up Stac Pollaidh with Pete as our guide. We thoroughly enjoyed it and found Pete to be very knowledgable and great company. Rosie recommended a fabulous restaurant in the area which we enjoyed on the last night of our honeymoon. Thank you Rosie! We will certainly book again with McKenzie Mountaineering next time we are in the Highlands.

I did a 3 day mountaineering trip including Ben Nevis, Rosie was professional, friendly and knowledgeable and made the trip the highlight of my year. I will definitely be back again! West Highland way 2019!

I contacted them enquiring whether they were able to run a days activity which was not shown on their website and they immediately set the day up for me. Couldn't be more helpful. Fully recommend them and shall definitely use them again in the future to arrange further trips, next time maybe 4-5 days hiking/scrambling in the mountains.

I have just returned from a weeks walking in Gran Canaria and it exceeded all expectations. Great hosting by Ben and Rosie, lovely accommodation, spectacular walks that were expertly set for the skill level of the group. Group size is small so you receive a very personal service. If you want to escape to some winter sun, undertake beautiful walks with lovely company at a very reasonable price, do not hesitate to book. Thanks for looking after us so well and we will be back!

Rosie and Ben’s is a true slice of paradise. Phenomenal views, location, and walks straight out of the house. They could not have been more hospitable - the rooms are comfortable and spacious, yet the house is really cosy. Wood-burner... roll-top bath... breakfast of champions. Perfect for anyone who wants to hit the hills or just relax. See you again soon for sure!

Walked the west highland way last week with Ben and Rosie. I had a magic time on the walk and climbed Ben Nevis via Carn Mor Dearg Arete.Thanks again you 2 and Corrie for a great time.See you again soon.

It is always difficult to select where are the best places to walk when you go for a hike in an unfamiliar location. I found this out to our cost when walking last week around Wick. Plenty of Boggy/soaked ground to traverse and a plethora of barbed wire to be navigated.No such problem the week before in the Ullapool area. We had teamed up with Ben & Rosie and asked them to take us on some interesting and challenging walks in the Ullapool area. They did a lot of research for us on suitable challenges that still avoided the worst of the weather and the ground conditions and gave us a miriad of options to choose from. McKenzie, having the resources to do linear walk also helped massively to open up the possibilites which we, on our own, would not have been able to accomplish easily.Well done you two and thank you for making it a trip to remember.Phil & Helen
