We were unable to stay, the only entrance door was unsafe. It had to be kicked open and was extremely difficult to lock, practically impossible.House keeper told me that it had been a problem since being fitted earlier in the year and they could not get anyone out due to being 2 days before Christmas.Owner refunded the rent immediately but VRBO have not refunded the booking fee

Fabulous views and wildlife

The cottage location is perfect it’s well equipped and homely. Would prefer more comfortable seating in the lounge area and more attention to cleaning especially cobwebs above stairs and bathroom window. We saw minke whale, seals and white tailed eagle from the cottage!Would not hesitate to stay again.

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 Need new seating in the living room, its not comfortable and outdated.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!!
