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.

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.

Great place to stay
Everything on arrival was as described and we were more than pleased with the house. Photos don’t actually give it justice and was very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Lovely location and would have spent more time in Glenelg if weather had been a bit more accommodating. Would definitely use this house again hopefully when weather may be a bit more on our side and it is North West Scotland so nothing is promised.

Interesting house in lovely location
This was our first visit to this area. The property is a smart detached timber clad house by the shore in the pretty village of Glenelg with private garden to rear. Unfortunately views from the ground floor are restricted by gorse bushes opposite. Glenelg Inn is a 5 minute walk and does good food - booking essential. Short drive to ferry to Skye. Good local shop in village. Some of the other holiday properties have better views.

Lovely stay
A lovely holiday home in a beautiful setting and a 40min drive to the Skye bridge. The house was peaceful and spacious. We cooked in most nights and enjoyed the huge selection of board games! The private garden with picnic table was a pleasant surprise. The beds were comfy and freshly laundered and the bathrooms were spotless- the only shower is in the master en suite. Overall the house was well equipped but in need to a deep clean and a lick of paint. We would stay again if back in the area.

The property is very much as attractive and comfortable as shown on the photographs. Views of the sea could be improved by some taming of gorse bushes in front of the property, but lovely regardless. Within walking distance of the Glenelg Inn.
