Informações sobre o alojamento

A tranquil, wildlife haven with stunning loch and mountain views - pet friendly.

Set on the shores of Loch Duich, this delightful cottage is one of two forester's cottages and a cabin standing in isolation and accessed by a single track road four miles from the A87. Enjoying a high degree of privacy, Saraig offers the best of both worlds basking in peace and quiet yards away from the water's edge, yet is only 25 minutes from the Kyle of Lochalsh which has a supermarket, medical centre, swimming pool and train station. Within easy driving distance are a couple of restaurants, a welcoming bar and Kintail Crafts, a delightful Aladdin's Cave of a shop.

All photographs are of Saraig, taken from Saraig, or taken from the shores of Loch Duich in front of Saraig.

Surrounded by mountain and loch, the ever-changing views from this cottage are truly spectacular making it a perfect retreat for those who want to get away from it all. On a clear night, the milky way is visible and in the distance, far enough away not to cause light pollution, the illuminated Eilean Donan Castle shimmers in the dark.

Saraig is perfect for wildlife enthusiasts. Its wildlife-orientated gardens host a huge array of birds, including housemartins who revisit their nests in the eves year after year. We supply birdfood and peanuts for them and occasionally fatballs. There are pine martens and badgers, who regularly visit the back garden and are a delight to see. Peanuts are supplied for them. The pine martens also like peanut butter. Their food has to be put on the windowledge the other side of the kitchen table otherwise the badgers eat it all. Any contributions in the form of fatballs and peanut butter sandwiches are gratefully received. Seals, porpoises and otters are sometimes spotted from the lounge window along with a variety of seabirds, divers and waders. Loch Duich is a sea loch and permission to fish it is not needed.

With 22 Munros in the area and miles of coastline, Saraig is perfect for hillwalking and rambling. It is also ideal for cycling, sailing, and touring. Whatever your passion, returning to this warm, welcoming, homely cottage is the perfect end to a perfect day.

There is so much to see and do in the area a week is hardly long enough. Within easy reach is Eilean Donan Castle, the iron age brochs of Glenelg, Attadale and Armadale gardens, the dramatic Falls of Glomach, plus boat trips galore including a glass-bottomed boat trip and Calum's seal trips. At certain times of the year there are also whalewatching trips. There is a wide variety of walks from the challenging Five Sisters of Kintail and Saddle to a gentle stroll along the shores of Loch Duich right outside the front gate. Wander through deserted glens, alongside bubbling burns, through dense forest, past cascading waterfalls (numerous after heavy rainfall). The township road Saraig stands on is a very quiet, single track lane which gradually peters out. The walk along the lochside is wonderful, with stunning views, lapping waves and the chance of spotting otters and seals. Herons frequent the area and from time to time eagles, deer and dolphins can be seen.

The interior of this cottage is charming with a log burning stove at its heart. This spacious yet cosy cottage sleeps 6 people over 3 bedrooms - 2 king and 1 twin, two bathrooms, lounge, dining room, kitchen and pantry. The beds are wonderfully comfortable with good quality bedding. All bedrooms enjoy views of the loch. All in all if you want a relaxing, tranquil holiday then Saraig is ideal for your needs; if you want a holiday packed full of outdoor activities then Saraig is perfect for the job; if you want to visit castles, historic sites, gardens, and tour much of the northwest highlands and islands, then Saraig is the base for you.

One last note - it is possible to get married anywhere in Scotland including on the beach, and this is precisely what two of Saraig's guests did. With a piper piping the bride from the cottage, it was a fairytale wedding as the sound of the bagpipes echoed around the mountains. The bride herself described it as magical.

Second Time around & still special
Came here in 2019 & fell in love with the place, inside & out. Nothing has changed , still the beautiful place to forget all your worries & chill. Truely stunning scenery outside your door, which you would never tire of. Thank you Paula for letting us stay again in your beautiful place. Loved the open fire, the birds in the garden & the ease of it all ; I’m sure we will be back !

A true slice of the Highlands
The property is lovely. A comfortable and spacious 3 bed semi detached chalet bungalow in a superb position directly overlooking Loch Duich and the surrounding mountains. Generous parking for two cars on the driveway. The direct views of the loch and mountains from the frontage (and particularly the main bedroom at first floor) are genuinely exceptional. We visited over Christmas and the central heating is very good complimented by an open fire in the living room. The kitchen and bathroom fittings are somewhat dated but this doesn't detract from the property as it has all required for a very comfortable stay. The property is approached from a single track road which runs along the waterside for a couple of miles but this is easy to navigate, surfaced and gritted and so did not cause any access problems for us in Winter. The property is set directly fronting this small access road and a few feet from the lochside and a small stoney beach. Whilst set apart from several other houses on this road it is a great balance of getting away from it all without feeling very isolated. Good access to Skye and surrounding mainland attractions. The owner is very friendly, kind and efficient and seemed to genuinely care about our stay. A week in this property for our family of six didn't disappoint, was good value and it lived up to and in several areas exceeded our expectations. The description is accurate. Thank you Paula.

Lovely spot
Really enjoyed our stay here. Nice and cozy. Perfect for us and the dogs. So great to have Pine Martins, a Badger and a vast array of birds outside the kitchen window. My eldest son loved sitting out the front on the bench next to the Loch gazing at the stars. Great stay.

A peaceful haven
A perfect place for a few days of peace, wildlife and ever changing loch views. The cottage was very spacious, warm and comfortable and we enjoyed the special welcoming touches provided by the owners. A great location for walks and drives in the surrounding spectacular scenery.

Saraig, Nov 2023
What a wonderful place! From the most fabulous setting and views, to the peaceful & cosy cottage. We had such a lovely stay after settling in with a very thoughtful welcome package and visits from our inquisitive neighbours the badgers, pine martens & birds. Countless lovely places to visit nearby & further afield on Skye. Great local walks including along the loch to the broch & woodland walks at Balmacara. We can recommend the Dornie Inn (& the Clachan in Summer) for good food locally. Thank you to Paula & Rob for a wonderfully relaxing stay. We hope to stay again.

I have been in the self-catering holiday business in Scotland for over 18 years now and holidayed in Scotland many years before that. I am passionate about the country and its wildlife. As a fellow holiday-maker, it is very important to me that guests have a wonderful holiday. Therefore, I have done everything I can to ensure guests have the best time possible.

Por que motivo escolheu este alojamento?

I have been holidaying in Scotland regularly for over thirty years. I particularly love the Glenshiel/Loch Duich area and when I first saw Saraig standing just a few yards from the water's edge in breath-taking surrounds, I fell in love with it even before I ventured inside. Once inside I made up my mind there and then to buy it. It is a property with a strong feeling of history, a very tranquil and homely atmosphere, and incredible views.

Quais são os elementos especiais deste alojamento?

Saraig ticks so many boxes for the holiday-maker; it's in a remote, peaceful location yet not far from the town of Kyle: it's in an area of 22 Munro mountains and countless walks covering all degrees of difficulty: it's sea-lochside, yards from the beach (not a sandy one): it's below a forest with lots of paths for walkers and trails for the mountain biker: it's great for wildlife enthusiasts: it has breath-taking views. Last but not least, it is close to Skye, Plockton, Glenelg, Applecross, Loch Ness and other places too numerous to mention. As mentioned in the description, it is also perfect for small weddings!
