Matheson's Croft House

Superb location and the cottage (croft) is well equipped. Beautiful views across the loch. Cooking with the Aga was fun and a bit of an art form. The last 50m of track looks challenging but is easily passable. It was an ideal base for exploring Skye. One minor plea, a small welcome pack of tea/coffee and milk would welcome and is common amongst other properties of this standard.

High Tor House

The cottage was perfect for location, peace and tranquility. We spent our honeymoon there and it was ideal for what we wanted. Although remote it was only a short drive to beaches, shops and other attractions. The amenities in the cottage were excellent and in immaculate condition. The view from the balcony was fantastic and a great place to chill out and relax. Would use again if ever revisiting Harris. Hosts were very welcoming.

The Studio

Lovely spot to chill and relax, off the beaten track but not too far to make it too awkward. Well equipped accommodation with fabulous views. If you're there in the summer and need dark to sleep bring a sleep mask, otherwise just enjoy the endless light from the sky. Good base to cover Skye from, would recommend it for a great place to stay.

The Coltsfoots

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at the Coltsfoot and we couldn't recommend it highly enough. Near enough to Fort Augustus to walk into the centre within 5/10 minutes, but when you return to the Coltsfoot it really does feel like miles away from anywhere, which was exactly what we wanted. Lovely walks straight from the door, nice pubs and cafes in Fort Augustus but also very easy access to drive around the Highlands to get to see things further afield. The Coltsfoot was immaculate inside and out and had everything we needed for our stay (Two showers rooms as well, which is a luxury we definitely don't have at home!) 5 Stars! We'd definitely go back.

Grain Store

We really enjoyed our stay in The Grain Store. The accommodation was spacious, extremely comfortable and clean. The views were gorgeous in every direction and we loved the banks of wild flowers. It was our first time to this region of Scotland and there was plenty to expore locally so it's a great base away from the more crowded areas. Thank you for the welcome pack of goodies too. We came with our dog and we found it to be an easy place to have her, with the uncarpeted floors as we could sweep through easily. All in all, a wonderful restful place to be, especially in the glorious weather we were fortunate enough to coincide with. Many thanks.

Seabank Cottage

Seabank Cottage is an excellent base for exploring the beautiful Lochcarron, Plockton, Applecross and Skye areas. Being the only cottage right on the shore side of the road, we spent most of our time, while in the cottage, looking out the small picture window from the kitchen right across the Loch at the wildlife and scenery, using the two pairs of binoculars kindly provided in the cottage. The cottage is comfortable, with a superb power shower, and is well positioned in the village of Lochcarron for all eating establishments and the local mini supermarket. A bonus for us with our electric car is that there is an EV charger again just a few steps along the road, so we started every morning with a full tank of electricity!

Matheson's Croft House

Lovely cottage with a fantastic view! You have to go outside to get the best view though. We saw deer nearly every day. Usually very early in the morning and it's very important to not make any noise. We also saw an otter in the water(binoculairs) AND a small group of porpoises one evening! It's a lovely & quiet place. Kyle of Lochalsh was a bit of a disappointment. But for a nice bite to eat you can go to The Clachan in Dornie. You have to make a reservation though. Eilean Donan Castle is a must as it's very nearby and it's worth the visit. There are a few lovely walks in the neighbourhood.It was lovely to be able to cook on a Rayburn. Our advice is to extend the worktop on the left side of the sink, it would make it more workable to do the washing-up. There is no dishwasher, which was a bit of a bummer(but we knew that beforehand).But there were not enough glasses so we kept having to wash the same glasses all the time. And that's not particularly a nice thing to do while on holiday. We had asked the caretaker on our second day there if we could get more water-& whisky glasses. We did get the whisky glasses, but never got the water glasses. The bed was fine but the double duvet was not wide enough for 2 people. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay. And we can recommend this cottage to anyone who seeks rest, wildlife and a fantastic view. Adrian & Harriet (from Holland)

Fabulous cottage in a fantastic location. We had a really lovely week with everything we needed and accompanied daily by red squirrels, great spotted woodpeckers and too many other bird species to mention. Great for our dogs too as forest walks straight from the door and many lovely beaches nearby for them to cool off with a swim. The cottage was spotless on arrival, very well equipped and a lovely welcome pack surprise. Thank you for sharing this delightful place with us.

Udrigle House

We loved Udrigle House. The house is clean, spacious, and has a lot of character. The location is perfect; a few feet from the shoreline with a view of magnificent mountains across the bay. We watched otters just outside the house and in the next bay along every day. There are two lovely beaches within walking/cycling distance of the house. We hope to stay here again in the not too distant future.

Shellach Cottage

Shellach Cottage is well equipped, homely and comfortable. Lochcarron itself is an extremely pleasant village with a good range of local facilities in comparison with much of the Highlands so it makes a very good base to stay in, offering opportunities for both serious walkers with transport and less energetic visitors who can walk from the cottage or after a very short drive. Plockton, Sheildaig and Applecross all offer scenic (and in Applecross's case dramatic) outings and Skye is also in easy reach within an hour by car. We enjoyed a wonderful holiday at Shellach, and when we had one random glitch we found the local caretaker and the owner to be very helpful and proactive. We recommend the cottage unreservedly.

Another wonderful stay at the amazing Coltsfoots log cabin, stayed for a week with our 2 friends from Bavaria Germany. The Coltsfoot is absolutely fully equipped with everything it's like home from home, just need to take food & drink and that's it your ready to holiday & relax. We all had a great time sitting on the verandah relaxing in the sunshine, we also had 2 thunderstorms which were amazing to watch while still sat on the verandah, remaining dry undercover from the high roof. The area of the gardens and stream are also beautiful, and listening and watching to all the different birds and sounds from them all is so relaxing. There is also so much to do and see in the nearby area, sitting in the beer garden at the pub by the side of the Caledonian canal is lovely. Can't wait to return hopefully next year. The owners are so welcoming and friendly nothing is too much trouble for them to help you out.

I can confirm the many positive comments. The house is immaculate, in presentation, cleanliness and equipment. The best bit however is the constant wildlife show out of the living room window. We had daily visits from the red squirrels, red deer and many birds, with lovely views of the siskins. A family of roe deer, couple plus youngster, showed up once as did a pine marten and a crazy gang of hungry weasels which caused enormous consternation. Finally, the house has many beautiful walks within a half-hour's drive. Fully recommended.

From our initial booking to our arrival the process was smooth and trouble free. The house is elevated and has uninterrupted views over the bay from the open plan lounge/ dining room / kitchen, snug room and master bedroom. It was well equipped with superior furniture and soft furnishings. Everything had been thought of to make our stay as comfortable and pleasurable as possible.

Our second visit to this lovely cottage and first time with our dog. Mairi and Paul were friendly and accommodating hosts (especially when our car broke down!) and the cottage was as welcoming and ideally situated as we remembered it. Had some fabulous walks from the door in Urquhart Bay Woods and further afield at Rogie Falls and saw dolphins at Chanonry Point. For dog friendly places to eat can recommend Fiddlers Fish and Chip Van, the Loch Ness Inn and the Snow Goose in Inverness ( dog friendly spaces need to be pre-booked at the latter two). A wonderful break with glorious weather . Definitely on our list of places to return to one day!

Seal Skerry Lodge

Seal Skerry Lodge is in a perfect setting and the wonderful architectural design and furnishings really make the most of its position. We enjoyed using the telescope watching the seals. All the appliances worked well although we thought there weren't enough kitchen utensils, cutlery, dishes, pots and pans etc. Given there's a dishwasher, we had to wash up regularly between dishwasher use. Regarding cleanliness within the property, we felt this slightly fell short of what we had expected for a holiday let of this standard. Perhaps the owners need to think about more time allocation for the housekeeper, and also allocating time for a deep clean every so often.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and feedback on Seal Skerry Lodge. We are glad you enjoyed your stay however disappointed to hear about the cleanliness within the property.
