Beautiful house in such a picturesque location! Slept really well. Well catered for too. Just the kind of place to take your supplies & hunker down in. Rooms we're warm & cosy when the weather wasn't brilliant. The host was excellent and very helpful when we left something behind after our stay, they couldn'tof done enough. Property is exactly as described. Nearby cosy, friendly pub, a cafe in the Community centre, and a village shop. Ample parking for large car. Stunning views across the Sound of Sleet towards Skye. Right across the road from a shingle beach. Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely recommend

This is a stunning location and the house is very well equipped. Glenelg is somewhat isolated but that is its charm. One local shop with limited opening times and limited stock .The nearest supermarket is 25 miles away. Handy for the Glenelg to Skye ferry. (Summer only).Recommend.

In Spinal Tap terms Solas would deserve 11 out of 10 apart from one or two minor niggles. Let’s get these out of the way first. The dishwasher would not operate for us and the doors to the ovens need repairing. You felt you were going to break them every time you open and close them.The positives far outweigh these. Solas was very well equipped, comfortable and pretty much defined Location, Location, Location! Not just the house itself which had stunning views right outside, but gave easy access to the marvellous countryside around. Highly recommend the road to Corran, the walk to Sandaig where “The Ring of Bright Water” was written (saw golden eagle here), the microbrewery at the Pictish brochs, the lovely Glenelg Inn and not forgetting the easy access to Skye across the fascinating turntable ferry at Kylerhea. Reluctant to write too praiseworthy a review as people might book and prevent us from returning! Glenelg, the surrounding area and Solas are very special places.Thanks.

Why they chose this property

As a family, we fell in love with this house while holidaying in Glenelg. We bought it in 2012 and have been renting it out since 2013. In the summer, we recommend sitting on the beach and read a book, canoeing in Plockton, going to the cinema in Portree; during autumn and winter, you can spend most of the day near the fire watching the world go by. Enjoy the open plan kitchen/dining room/living room, which brings everyone together and is great for entertaining!
