Self-catering Cottage In Glenelg Looking Over The Sleat To Skye
Glenbeag Cottage is a lovely, bright 4* family holiday home in the magical west highland coastal village of Glenelg, overlooking the Sound of Sleat to the Isle of Skye. This self catering cottage is an ideal location for wildlife, beach, water or hill based holidays, as relaxed or active as you wish to be. The cottage is near the renowned Glenelg Inn and a minutes walk from the village shop and the seashore. It is in a stunning area that includes the site of Gavin Maxwell’s ‘Camusfearna’ at Sandaig with its white coral beaches. Glenbeag has some of the best preserved Iron Age brochs. Close by are Munros including Beinn Sgritheall and the Five Sisters of Kintail. And you may still ‘sail over the sea to Skye’ on the traditional Glenelg ferry crossing at Kylerhea.

The cottage is very thoughtfully and very thoroughly equipped and to a very high standard. It is spotlessly clean, cosy and extremely comfortable.
The immediate location is idyllic and the surrounding area, including Kintail, Lochaber and Skye, is utterly gorgeous. With an enterprising village shop on one side and a pub/hotel through a gate on the other side, the cottage is well served.
With a very reasonable price and a decent cancellation policy, Glenbeag Cottage represents wonderful value.
We recommend unreservedly.
The cottage is ideally situated close to the shop and the pub (and no, the close proximity to the latter has no impact, noise etc.). Can't fault the way it has been equipped, everything you could need is there and someone put real thought into this.
We had a wonderful stay at Glenelg. It was a beautiful location, the cottage had everything we needed and more, including a pub in the garden!
A great autumnal break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The kids loved the beach and all the free range animals
Very pleasant and well equipped property in a wonderful location
