Lovely cottage, great location.

We had a fantastic holiday at this lovely cottage. It's location is good as you can get out and about quickly to so many places, it's such a beautiful area. It had everything we needed and the beds were really comfortable. Having a nice cosy fire in the evenings was great. Would definitely recommend.

The house is located in a very quiet area and is well equipped, especially the kitchen. From here you can reach the Isle of Skye in about 30 minutes, and there are also nearby towns with shops and amenities. The place offers plenty of space for up to five people and has two bathrooms, which is particularly convenient for families. Communication with the hosts was always friendly, and they responded quickly. The price felt a bit on the higher side, but that’s understandable given the proximity to a popular tourist area.

Lovely house,helpfull owner, perfect spot to visit the isle of skye by car or the highlands.

The house is lovely, with a nice fireplace, enough room for 4 or 5 persons. The house was clean and has good information on how to use the place. Our kids loved to play around the house, they could do that safe. At night it is a very quiet place, in the morning you can here cars that are passing but you get used to that. The owner ja very helpfull and sweet. If you habe a quistion she answered them very quickly. With 20 minutes you can be on the isle of skye by car. But you can also easy visit other place as the highlands, loch ness etc. Our

3m from busy main road

3m away from a busy main road; ruined the stay. Heard road traffic throughout the night and construction work early morning for weekdays of our week. Even with double glazed windows closed our sleep was very disturbed. Garden extremely unpleasant. Didn’t spend any time out there. Only useful for drying laundry. Very disappointed with our stay at this place. Should have checked it’s location on google map! Would not stay here again or recommend it unfortunately.

Wanderurlaub Skye

Das Cottage ist sehr schön, viele nützliche Sachen werden gestellt (Feuerholz, Anzünder, Backpapier, Gewürze, etc.). Obwohl das Cottage direkt an der Straße liegt, ist es nachts ruhig, da kein Auto fährt. Bei Fragen antwortet die Gastgeberin sehr schnell. Von der Lage ist es ideal, um Skye zu erkunden, nur ohne Auto ist es faktisch nicht erreichbar. Achtung: in der FeWo-Lage-Beschreibung wird in der Karte nicht das richtige Haus angezeigt.

Cosy little cottage

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage very much. Everything we needed was there, except the coffee apparatus, we found later in the hall closet funny enough. But that was no problem because we had our own way to make coffee. The cottage is a great starting point for many hill walks and hiking trails in the surroundings. So we had a great time!

Excellent holiday cottage

The cottage is in a great location geographically, with easy access to many places: we walked around Plockton, Morvich, Letterfearn, Glenelg etc. Also visited gardens at Armadale and Atterdale. Comfy beds, well equipped and plenty of space. The cottage is close to the main road, however, and road noise can be an issue. We're used to using ear plugs at night, so it didn't bother us too much. There is no secure outdoor play area for young children, so they wouldn't be able to play out unsupervised. Other than that it was a great base for our holiday and the area is stunning.

Well placed traditional cottage

This traditional cottage has a homely feel about it. Facilities are modern. The bath was very welcome after walking in the hills. Kitchen is well stocked with cutlery, tableware and utensils. Two bath/shower rooms/toilets were appreciated even with just three staying. I would stay here again.

Sweet, cosy and inviting cottage - A beautiful home away from home!

Our family of four stayed here for a week in August. The location was great and allowed us to see quite a fair bit of the highlands. We went on several day trips, to Skye, Eilean Donan Castle, Glen Shiel, Applecross, Torridon, Drumnadrochit, Loch Ness and Fort Augustus, Plockton to name a few... We could have easily stayed there another week as there are so many wonderful things to see and do in this gorgeous part of the world. The cottage was lovely, very clean and very well equipped. It had a very welcoming feel to it. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, the beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of towels available. The fireplace was a great bonus, and came a good supply of logs for us to use. Although it was August, we enjoyed sitting together by the fire in the evenings after spending our days in the Scottish weather. Thank you very much to Audrey, your house is wonderful, cosy and inviting. A truly amazing experience!

Very good location for exploring Glenshiel. Clean and well equipped family cottage. Helpful host.

We used the cottage as a base for walking in Glenshiel and day trips to Skye. It was well located for this - a car is essential. We had 2 and there was plenty of off-road parking space. There were only 2 of us but cottage would be fine for family of 4. It is close to main road so there’s some noise from cars. Easy reach by car to Brothers and Sisters of Kintail and South Glenshiel ridge. Glenshiel is a stunning valley. A five minute drive to pub - Kintail lodge which has ok pub food. The cottage itself was very pleasant with a good shower, 2 loos, snug sitting room and well equipped kitchen. Audrey, the host, was helpful and quick to respond. All in all, a very good experience and we’d happily go back.

Lage zu Skye und Loch Ness gut - Haus direkt an Hauptstraße und ohne Sonne

Die Einrichtung des Hauses ist sehr praktisch, die Vermieterin hilfsbereit mit praktischen schriftlichen Tipps. Ein paar Grundlebensmittel wurden zur Verfügung gestellt. Das WLAN funktioniert nur langsam. Skye, Loch Ness und Fort William sind gut erreichbar. Das Eilean Donan Castle ist nicht weit weg. Leider ist das Cottage laut wegen der direkt daneben liegenden Hauptstraße. Es liegt am Waldrand. Somit trocknet in der Wohnung die Wäsche bei nassen Tagen nur schlecht. Für uns war die Ausgangslage gut, da wir viel unterwegs waren.

About the host

Why they chose this property

The cottage is in the village of Inverinate, just round the corner from Glen Shiel and not far from the shore of Loch Duich. It is an ideal base from which to explore the Highlands and Skye (14miles away). Many fabulous walks e.g. Five Sisters of Kintail, Falls of Glomach, Morvich to Glen Affric. Eilean Donan Castle is less than 4 miles away and a scenic 14 mile drive takes you to the pretty coastal village of Plockton with numerous restaurants and activities.
