Stunning Individually Designed Property On Shore In The Village Of Glenelg

Our house is called Solas, which in Gaelic means solace, comfort. It is a fantastic 2 bedroom house constructed at the end of 2009, situated beside the shore in the village of Glenelg. Glass screens downstairs with atrium above are a feature of the house and allow wonderful views across the Sound of Sleat and to the Isle of Skye. Ground floor is open plan with living area to one side of the central staircase and dining/kitchen to the other. The luxury bespoke kitchen includes a 5 ring combination gas/electric Lacanche cooker, American fridge freezer with ice/water facilities and dishwasher. There is a separate utility/boot room to the back of the house with washing machine and tumble dryer. The sitting room has a Jotul stove, TV/Freeview/ DVD player and has a good selection of books, local maps and DVDs. Free Wifi. The nearby Glenelg Inn offers lunches and dinners with a great menu in both its atmospheric bar and separate dining room; try the Shore Cafe at the Glenelg Ferry station for a selection of delicious homemade cakes and savoury snacks. Do your shopping locally at the wonderful Glenelg Shop. Horse riding and boat trips available nearby, kayaking in the village of Plockton.
We welcome well-behaved pets.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

Lovely modern property in a stunning location. A few small things that need attending to but probably most important is to fix the back door which doesnt lock
