Fantastic location right on the coast with good views across to Skye and the Outer Hebrides. Dolphins and Sea Eagles spotted in the bay as well as deer grazing outside first thing in the morning.The kitchen is fully equipped with oil, spices and condiments provided as well as the rare knife sharpener.Plenty of room, comfortable beds with excellent showers.If you are one of the out doors crowd then it is excellent for hill walking with quite a few Munro's on the doorstep.All in all fantastic!!

If you want peace and quiet this is the place, no aircraft or road noise. A large, comfortable, well equipped house, with everything you could need and an ever changing view. Access to the water is via a clamber over the rocks, sadly no otters seen, but 2 deer and a seal, possibly dolphins.Nearest town Gairloch is great for supplies. Access road is narrow in places, but has loads of passing sports and a pretty drive. We were a party of 2, but loads of space if at capacity. Would definitely recommend.

A beautiful house in a stunning location. The property was well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The views were outstanding with panaramic scenery of mountains, sea and plenty of wildlife. We enjoyed it so much we hope to be back soon.
