A very welcome break
Our fourth stay here and we just love it. The scenery and tranquility is fantastic. The house itself offers everything we could need and the local pub is so close. We did some paddle boarding this year which was new to some of us. Apart from that we did some walking, geo-cashing -again, new for some of us - and general lazing about. Another great week and next year to look forward to !

An Gearasdan
The property is perfectly situated in the wonderful village of Glenelg. Well fitted out with all your needs covered . My only suggestion would be a 4 slot toaster, not 2 , considering the property sleeps 8! Wonderful upside down house, amazing views and a wonderful living space icorporating, kitchen, dining and lounge with lovely log burner. Ample parking and amazing boot room keeping all coats, boits, rucksacks etc out of the way. Thank you

Amazing Location
The property is in a beautiful location overlooking the Isle of Skye. Check in process was easy and communication with the host was very good. Our queries were answered quickly and they were able to accommodate our stay to fit in with our tour of Scotland. There were a couple of issues whilst we were there but we communicated with the host over these and Kay was quick to come back to us. We wanted the first leg of our holiday to be somewhere remote and this is most definitely it. The village shop and the Glenelg Inn are very useful village amenities as the closest Coop is a 40 minute drive. Amazingly peaceful and relaxing!

Lovely holiday
Glenelg is a beautiful place and the house is situated in a very tranquil spot overlooking Skye. The upstairs of the house is beautiful, great set up, well equipped kitchen and lots of games and books for the family. Kay was great to deal with and very quick to reply which was appreciated. Highlights for us; Sea kayaking in Plockton Pony trekking in Glenshiel Mam Ratagan Also coming back to the beautiful house after a long walk was great- the fire stick in the telly worked really well as did the wifi. Only things I would highlight are we found the sliding doors downstairs difficult to open (some blinds do not stay up) and the bedroom level could maybe use a wee freshen up (some stains on carpet in ensuite etc). Just small things which didn’t spoil the stay at all but maybe things to do in quieter periods. We would definitely return though- it is a very special place.
