“Lovely little cottage about a 10 minute drive off the main road.”

The location is ideal for exploring Skye, Applecross, Eilean Donan Castle etc. The cottage had everything you could want within reason, all the basics and a few extras such as the wood burning stoves and amazing views. The stoves are described as the most efficient way to heat the cottage, although "efficient" is perhaps the wrong word, as they were expensive to run, yet very effective. Even when it was -2 outside it was lovely and warm inside. There were only two of us, but it would still be ...

The stoves are described as the most efficient way to heat the cottage, although "efficient" is perhaps the wrong word, as they were expensive to run, yet very effective. Even when it was -2 outside it was lovely and warm inside. There were only two of us, but it would still be fine with 4 people staying. We are considering returning to the area next year and may stay at the cottage again.

“It is an extraordinary and idyllic place where you can enjoy with all comfort of tranquility and nature.”

Without a doubt, it is a place where I would go there again. The Creag Mhor Cottage is so cozy that we felt at home.

“The house was very nice and nicely located.”

It would be nice if there was a briefing. The underfloor heating for the bathroom we did not get. Unfortunately, the DVD player was broken.

“Beautifully restored Croft in a lovely location.”

Clean, very comfortable and nicely decorated. Large garden with beautiful loch views. Was great to have WiFi too

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful location.”

Ideal base for exploring the area, whilst quiet and remote enough if you just want to escape from it all. Excellent facilities in a peaceful setting.
Mrs Fletcher March 2019

“We are grateful to Sykes and the cottage owners, that they allowed us to adjust our booking because of a family funeral.”

We were very happy with the cottage. As others have mentioned, we found it challenging to get the stoves to perform efficiently. Partly to do with sourcing dry logs. So we were conscious of using more electricity than we might have done.
Mrs Tracey October 2018

“A really lovely cottage and we were very happy with the excellent location for walking in the hills.”

The cottage was warm, nicely renovated and well equiped. There was a good selection of dvds however it would be better if the television was also available. We're not there to watch tv but on the darker nights it's nice to have the option. We had very heavy rain which came down and leaked heavily onto the kitchen woodburner. It didn't cause any problem at all but may worry some guests. Overall we were very happy with our holiday and would visit again.

We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay and would be happy to visit again. Sorry you had rain down the chimney. It?s something that can happen in these old croft houses when the rain is particularly heavy. We are glad that it didn't cause you any problem at all. Sykes owner relations

“Beautiful surroundings didn't feel this was advertised enough!”

Views exceeded expectations completely. Staff on phone were very helpful and although we had to leave a day early it was easy to access property with keysafe and very hassle free holiday. Would highly recommend and book again.

The property

Dornie 3 miles.

This pretty picture postcard cottage, nestling on a hillside in a stunning highland glen at Sallachy, is just three miles from the small former fishing village of Dornie, in the western Ross-shire Highlands.

Creag Mhor Cottage is a traditional cottage that has both character and comfort.

The bedrooms are on the upper floor and the modern bathroom is at ground floor level.

The ground floor is open plan with the kitchen/diner at one end and the sitting area at the other with both benefiting from large woodburning stoves, ideal for cosy nights in.

A private garden surrounds the cottage and from here there are lovely views towards Loch Long and the surrounding mountains.

The village of Dornie is a short drive along the winding loch side road, and here you can buy your groceries and visit the local pub for a pint.

Dornie is also home to the world famous Eilean Donan Castle which is well worth a visit and the visitor centre not only sells gifts but also has a very good cafe.

The bustling village of Kyle of Lochalsh is some 11 miles west and provides enhanced shopping opportunities.

The area is exceptionally pretty and attracts many visitors throughout the year and this cottage makes an excellent base for exploring the west coast villages and crossing the bridge to the magical Isle of Skye for a lovely day out.

The area is perfect for walkers and wildlife lovers and this welcoming ‘wee’ cottage will tick all the boxes to ensure a great highland adventure.

DORNIE

Kyle of Lochalsh 9 miles.

The picturesque village of Dornie sits amidst the stunning West Highland countryside, just nine miles from the bustling village of Kyle of Lochalsh. The village itself, a walker’s paradise, offers good amenities including a village shop, a local pub and numerous walking and cycling opportunities, with stunning views of the coastline and mountainous regions beyond to be enjoyed. Nearby Kyle of Lochalsh, known as the gateway to the Isle of Skye, offers a range of shops, hotels and restaurants and boasts a busy harbour that plays host to a variety of cargo, fishing and occasional passenger vessels. Nearby Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland's most famous and popular sights, is perched at the end of a stone causeway on the shores of Loch Duich, whilst further south is the Glenelg Peninsula, a tranquil backwater, which is beautiful, remote and relatively undiscovered. An easy drive north of Kyle is the charming village of Plockton, famous for its palm trees, yacht-filled bay and Highland cattle which wander the streets! Alternatively, cross the Skye Bridge to Skye itself and explore all that the mystical Isle has to offer.
