Beautiful Location

Loved the style of the property, plenty of space, nice enclosed garden. Spectacular views across to Skye. Just needing a bit of tlc, chipped cups and plates, gutter hanging off the and one dripping at the back door. Need new seating in the living room, its not comfortable and outdated. But saying all that it is a great place to relax and escape city life.

FANTASTIC VIEWS AND PLACE

We loved this place - right opposite the sea and with amazing view of Skye from nearly every window. Friendly village- especially the shop. Loads of parking. House had a nice woodburner, good bathrooms and everything you need in the kitchen. The house was warm and cosy even in a storm. Really lovely get away. Will hope to visit again when the ferry is on and the pub is open (from April onwards I think)

Honest review

We have stayed in many holiday homes throughout the UK and consider we are experienced in this subject to comment. Great location, pub was great (and very friendly). Scenery was amazing.Overall cleanliness needs improvement, including kitchen cupboards (put us off using pots & pans, especially with no dishwasher).Seating in lounge is extremely uncomfortable Back door does not lock Fire wasn’t cleaned out and no papers or kindling to light the fire ( the shop was closed), the firefighter didn’t work.Dishwasher didn’t work on any cycle

Lovely and remote

The house is situated within a small run of houses looking out onto the loch and across to Skye, it is about 30minutes drive to the main road over scenic mountain roads. Glenelg village has a small shop, community centre/cafe (opening hours dependent) and pub. The house iteself is set with its own enclosed garden and drive area (great for dogs), the back garden looking over the fields and hills. You walk into a fully equipped utility - perfect for wet clothes and then onto the main house. The living and kitchen space was suitably equipped, including plenty of board games and kitchen utensils, but in need of some love, with well used furniture and some redecorating and cleaning required. It was warm and cosy considering the size and the heating was highly appreciated when temperatures were about minus 3 during the day. The bedrooms were of a good size and clean, but a new mattress would not go a miss in the master and some higher tog duvets would be great when the weather is so chilly (they said 10.5 but they most certainly were not like mine at home). The shower was great, always lots of hot water and lovely and powerful. Generally a bit of a spruce up would do it the world of good, but regardless the stay was most enjoyable - thank you.

Beautiful lochside chalet

Beautiful accommodation and location. Well equipped house, which needed a little decorating. The house was warm and cosy. We loved the drive over the pass down to Glenelg. The lock and view of Skye were spectacular. I loved watching the seals just off shore.

ANOTHER AMAZING WEEK AT SOLAS

Our 3rd year running now at this property and it never fails to satisfy. The location, the open plan nature of the house, the faclities provided are all perfect for us. We love the kitchen with its range cooker and large dining table in front of the stunning views, relaxing in the living room and watching the world go by in front of the log burner in the evenings. Walks form the property are lovely, but most days we're happy just in the local area, getting the kids off the beach is almost impossible, and nly a stones throw from the front door, which allows them a freedom they dont get at home. We'll definitely be back! Thanks to Manuela for allowing us the week, and for being a considerate host.

Incredible spot in a lovely house

We spent a week here and seen dolphins, otters and seals on a daily basis which was amazing especially for the kids! The house is fantastic with a properly enclosed garden for the dog and plenty of lawn to play football around. The house was clean and tidy however unfortunately felt a little unloved if we're honest..... doors sticking and not painted, cupboards dusty, no toilet roll holders, damp patches in roof obviously fixed but not repainted etc which was a shame. Despite this we'd still return as the space and the location was excellent!!

Such a beautiful place to stay

This was our 3rd visit to this house and Glenelg - we love it! Gorgeous house with everything you could need. The local pub is well worth a visit - especially the Sunday lunch, very dog friendly and lovely staff. The local shop is well stocked - not open on a Sunday so take some milk and some dinner for when you arrive Glenelg is beautiful, remote and quiet.

Wow-Haus mit eingezäunten Grundstück direkt am Loch

Das Haus ist zauberhaft und durchdacht. Das EG großzügig und Licht durchflutet mit riesiger Küche. Oben 2 Zimmer mit Dachschrägen. Das Zimmer mit dem großen Bett hat ein gefangenes Duschbad mit niedriger (180cm) , schmaler, angeschrägter Zugangstür. Als 2m-Meter-Mann kommt die Duschhöhe ans Limit. Ergänzend ein weiteres Bad mit Badewanne. Die direkte Lage am Loch phantastisch ( nur getrennt durch eine Straße, direkt gg. der Isle of Skye) und das Dorf sehr schön. Ca. 30 Minuten zu relevanten Zielen. Einzigartig die Fähre zur Isle of Skye - unbedingt nutzen. Nur 10 Minuten entfernt.

Erholsamer Aufenthalt mit kleinen Abstrichen

Wir hatten ein paar schöne Tage in Glenelg.Das Haus ist gut gelegen mit einem tollen Blick aufs Meer.Leider war uns bei der Buchung nicht bewusst, wie abgelegen Glenelg liegt.Der Ort und somit auch das Haus sind von der Haupstr. noch ca. 16 km entfernt und man benötigt fur die zugegeben sehr schöne Strecke über den Pass ca. 25 bis 30 Minuten. Das sollte man beachten, wenn von dort Ausflüge geplant werden. Das Haus war grundsätzlich sauber, bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten. Ansonsten war es ein gelungener Aufenthalt

A Perfect location away from the madding crowd, (Really!).

We arrived in the evening during storm Isha to a proper Hooley! But this did not dishearten us as the location and property were perfect. Located by the shore in Glenelg, we enjoyed the windy peace and quiet, only to be expected in January. The property was cozy and well appointed with a washing machine & tumble dryer. (The tumble dryer is a condensing one so be aware and empty the water tank!). The kitchen was great with all the normal equipment. We could not have wanted for a better place to stay. There is a local shop within 1/4 of a mile for provisions and a pub. Unfortunately the was closed but probably it was just the time of year. We stayed for 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed everyone of them. A lovely retreat where we could re-charge our batteries, if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life, this is the place. Would we come again? Most certainly! Thank you.

About the host

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!
