About this property

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.

This cottage was excellently presented. It was immaculately clean and very comfortable. There is an excellent pub next door, with very friendly staff and the village community shop is very close and the staff were very obliging (if there is anything you would like that we haven’t got just ask and we’ll get it for you-and they did). The location is very quiet, if a little remote. Ideal for a relaxing holiday.

We've stayed in a number of holiday lets and this was probably the best equipped, cleanest and most comfortable. We couldn't find faults anywhere - the electrical equipment, the heating, the bed and the fire - all exceeded our expectations. Its proximity to the pub worried us before we got there but there was no problem at all. Glenelg is a pretty little village and we were fortunate to see eagle, seals but no otters. Maybe we'll have better luck next time we visit, which we most probably will.

Beautiful bungalow in a stunning location. I don’t think we’ve ever stayed in such a well equipped holiday home. Good quality bedding and the standard of cleanliness was excellent. It was lovely to be able to light the fire after a day exploring though the property was toasty warm at all times. If you like being off the beaten track, love peace and quiet with an abundance of wildlife and stunning scenery this is the place for you. We stocked up with groceries in Fort William but the little shop is well stocked. Had a drink in the lovely friendly pub next door. Overall 10/10 and would definitely come back.

Pleasant stay at the cottage with loch so close by. Had a wonderful time and lots of memories to take back. Looking forward for the next visit soon. Even on a rainy day(where we could not go out as planned) we enjoyed staying at the cottage, provided lots of board games, Music and Film collection. Amazing place to stay with nearby attractions.

Glad to hear the your stay at Glenbeag Cottage was enjoyed. We try to make it comfortable and a home from home. There is no mobile signal across much of the Glenelg peninsular including at the cottage. However using 'settings' and select 'wifi calling' resolves the issue.

The cottage is beautifully quaint. Situated right in the heart of peaceful Glenelg, you get a wonderful view of Kyle Rhea and the Isle of Skye.For such a cold November stay, the cottage is well insulated and kept us both nice and toasty as we watched the snow fall, and the additional underfloor heating really makes the difference for your toes!The beds are large and comfortable, and the bedrooms have more than enough space for all your needs.The kitchen was perfect for the two of us, but could easily accommodate a family. All the expected cutlery and cooking utensils are present and useable.The living room is sizeable, and whilst the TV may be a little small by modern standards, let's be honest; that's not why you've come here!The front garden is ideal for a little picnic in the summer, or sitting outside at night during the winter to watch the stars.Overall, it's a cottage you absolutely must stay at in a location that you absolutely must see!
