About this property

Seacroft - a seacroft that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

Seacroft is nestled at the mouth of Nostie Burn on the shores of Lochalsh. It is an ideal location and base for exploring all the delights of Wester Ross. Only 6 miles from the railway station of Kyle where there are ample shops and supermarkets as well as banks and the local swimming pool. From Kyle you can take the Skye Bridge over to the Isle of Skye and with lovely views of the majestic Cuillen Hills. The seaside village of Plockton is only a few miles further on with its palm trees and roving highland cattle. Also we are only 2.5 miles from the famous Eilean Donan Castle at Dornie. From there you can travel up the length of Loch Duich and then take the old Military road over to Glenelg. The views and tranquillity of the shores of Lochalsh are breathtaking and there are endless opportunities for all sorts of outdoor pursuits including hill walking, horse riding, bird watching, mountain biking and many more. From the window we can see some of the Five Sisters of Kintail.

Lovely quiet location by the water’s edge and handy for Plockton and the Kyle, though still quite a way to get into the middle Skye itself. The property was a little dated, but had good facilities and a garden leading down to the water. All was fine, though parts of the kitchen need a good clean particularly the oven and the cooker hood which was particularly bad, but we cleaned it as best as we could. Overall is was fine for what we needed.

TLC needed for house
House was dirty toilet seats not cleaned floor not brushed I took photographs to show owner. We had very little hot water not enough for all of us to be washed. I contacted the owner about this but it didn't make a difference our option was a cold shower or not to wash. Was very disappointed with the money we paid to what we received.

Seacroft
This was our second stay at Seacroft and this time we brought 4 of our friends including 2 from the USA to see the wonderful location and scenery in the Highlands. Everyone was blown away by the views and the wonderful accommodation at Seacroft, offering plenty of space for the 6 of us. We ended up having to extend our stay by a day due to car problems and Constance went out of her way to help us and make us feel welcome.

Beautiful Scottish experience
I loved the location of the house - private and right next to water with amazing view out of the sitting room window. Lots of walks around. The house itself was all good. Especially loved the comfy bed and powerful shower. The kitchen has everything you need for longer stay, you can cook whatever you want to. A lot of storage area too. We were all enjoying the sitting area with fire and amazing view. The house can get pretty warm which is just perfect for me. I wasn’t cold at all although I was worried I might be. Really practical was also the washing maschine, dryer and dishwasher. Really appreciate it.

Perfect house and location for 2 families with 4 children.
Constance was a very helpful host answering all our questions before we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very homely, clean and spacious with plenty of room for the children to play inside and outside. We were very impressed with the very well equipped kitchen which has everything you could possibly need. The dining table is also a good size for large groups and the living room area has plenty of comfy couches and seats for everyone. All of the bedrooms are a good size with plenty of storage, 3 of which had en-suite toilets with showers. The kids loved with big family bathroom with the jacuzzi bath. The location is fantastic too. We were sad to leave and could happily have stayed longer than our 5 days. We would happily recommend this house to anyone.

Great location, property in need of TLC
Super location for trips out onto Loch Alsh or onto Skye etc. B&B next door who were very friendly. The property itself is a bit disappointing, it needs some TLC and could really benefit from 'proper' access to the Loch as opposed to battling through the undergrowth. The property is also cluttered with the owners items which I'm sure is lovely for them...not so great for us!..and not great from a Covid perspective either - far too many items to be properly cleaned at turnover. On the positive side, the property did accommodate our group well (two adults and two children as well as two other couples).

Wonderful house in an idyllic location
We stayed here over the Xmas and NY period and had a fabulous two weeks. The house was really spacious and very well equipped. The views were amazing and we loved sitting in the spacious lounge area watching for wildlife and taking in the magnificent views. The house was cosy and warm, but we still enjoyed the centrally located wood burner. The local area has many amenities, so catered for our needs, it’s also a fabulous base for exploring Skye and visiting the Eilean Donan Castle. We were lucky enough to see a sea eagle and an otter family along the shore during our stay. Constance was very helpful with questions and advice on the run up to our stay and throughout. The neighbours were also very friendly and helpful. We hope to return again for another stay.

Fully Equipped. Lovely location
He had a wonderful stay at Seacroft! The location couldn't be any better. Watching the weather and tides change on the loch was so beautiful and we had access to a well stocked co-op just a 10 minutes away. The Bridge to Skye was just about 15 minutes away. The house is very well equipped, lots of pot and pans and utensils. Having three en-suites was really great. Constance we easy to work with and very responsive to our questions both before and during the stay. All in all a great vacation get away.

Our Stay - 4 couples short break discovering the Isle of Skye
Pros: Location Size of property En-suite bathrooms Kitchen well stocked with crockery and cutlery Cons: Not very clean Heating / Hot water controlled remotely by owner so no hot water when you need it. Prepare for cold showers! Poor slow WiFi connection Wood burner placed on stone slabs with sharp edges and corners - lethal to your feet and high risk for tripping over. Direction to find the property - follow signs for the B&B.

Schönes Haus in toller Umgebung
Das Haus bietet Platz für 8 Personen. Insbesondere die tolle , offene Wohn-Essküche lädt zum Verweilen ein. Das Haus liegt in der Nähe von Eilean Donan Castle und in der Nähe der Isle of Skye Bridge. Daher kann man von dort aus wunderbar die direkte Umgebung sowie vor allem die Isle of Skye besuchen. Alles in allem sehr schön dort und wir können das Haus weiterempfehlen.

Beautiful location. Comfortable, roomy bungalow.
The Kyle of Lochalsh area is renown for the scenery and this location is ideally suited to profit. Kayaking and swimming at the foot of the garden! Neighbour's dog happy to accompany anyone on a walk along the shore. Bungalow is spacious and comfortable with a well equiped kitchen.

Maison agréable dans un environnement reposant
Un gîte agréable. Parfaitement aménagé pour des couples d'amis grâce aux salles de bain individuelles pour 3 des 4 chambres. L'environnement est très calme avec une vue magnifique sur le loch. Deux petits points à revoir, la ventilation couplé à l'éclairage de la salle de bain de la dernière chambre qui fait un bruit infernal ce qui empêche d'en faire usage lorsque quelqu'un dort dans la chambre et la propreté général du gîte mériterait d'être un peu moins sommaire mais entendons nous, il reste correct. Nous y avons passé néanmoins une très bonne semaine et recommandons ce lieu magnifique.

Great location but the place needs cleaning and looking after
We (two families with two children each) spent a week in this house. The location could not have been better and the size of the house is great for eight people, especially the open plan kitchen. However, the house did not meet our expectations. Everything was dirty; we even had to vacuum clean on the day we arrived and dust was accumulated everywhere in the house. The garden is big but you need to watch out for dog and hen excrements from neighbouring pets. Rubbish is also accumulated in the access to the loch and we are still wondering whether someone lives in the 'not very friendly' caravan parked at the front of the property. The hot water is not reliable. We had cold showers on two of the 6 evenings we spent there which isn't nice especially when you have young children. Overall, great location and size but the place needs cleaning and looking after.

Une très belle semaine pleine de souvenirs
Nous avons passé à deux familles avec enfants une très agréable semaine en août 2018 dans cette maison très spacieuse dont les prestations correspondent exactement au descriptif. La maison disposait de tout l’équipement nécessaire : Internet Wifi, accessoires de cuisine abondamment fournis, buanderie avec machines à laver et sèche-linge, un grand salon avec écran plat mural et salle à manger. Le salon est très lumineux et la baie vitrée de ce dernier offre une très belle vue sur le Loch. La maison était tellement agréable que nous nous y sommes sentis comme chez nous. Elle est idéale pour 8 personnes. Calme et tranquille, nous avons eu l’agréable surprise le premier soir de notre arrivée de voir deux biches venir s’abreuver au loch à proximité du bungalow ! Celui-ci est très agréable avec son jardin bien entretenu et sa proximité avec le Loch. La maison est très bien placée et très tranquille (dans le petit hameau de Avernish) : - à moins de 5 minutes en voiture du magnifique Château d’Elean Donan à Dornie : - de 5 à 10 minutes en voiture de Kyle pour prendre le pont qui relie à l’ile de Skye : l’île est superbe avec tous ses paysages grandioses et sauvages (nos coups de cœur car il y a tellement de belles choses à voir et à faire : randonnée jusqu’au pied de l’Old man of Storr, Neist Point, ballade jusqu’à Talisker Bay, randonnée aux cascades de Fairy pools, Distillerie de Talisker,….) - à ¼ heure de Plockton : magnifique petit village de pêcheur où il faut prendre le bateau pour aller voir les colonies de phoques qui se prélassent sur les petits îlots avoisinants. - …. Nous garderons un très bon souvenir de cette location et de notre voyage en Ecosse. Lionel E. (Perpignan) France

Comfortable accommodation in a beautiful location
We thoroughly enjoyed our week here. We were 2 families so the house was a perfect size for the 8 of us. The location is stunning: the kids loved the water which was directly accessible from the house, the views are beautiful and the proximity to Skye and Plockton was great. The kitchen was very well equipped.

About the host

Hosted by Constance Newbould

Host profile image
We live in Edinburgh and have always loved the West Coast of Scotland as we have family ties there.

Why they chose this property

Seacroft is just the most relaxing place in the world and as it is on the shores of Lochalsh has great views and an ever changing landscape. The house because it is quite new is really cosy and although we have the wood burning stove is is certainly not essential! As we use the house lots ourselves the kitchen is well stocked with everything you would need. Lots of plates and cutlery etc etc.

What makes this property unique

We have recently recarpeted and painted the entire house and upgraded the three ensuite bathrooms. There is also a new Amercian style fridge freezer with ice maker etc.
