  • "We absolutely loved Srondubh."

    It is a well-appointed, fresh, clean, and very comfortable and well thought-out house in a stunning location. Who'd have thought we'd be watching otter, herons, and cormorants frolicking in the loch outside the front door from the comfort of the upstairs sitting room? Poolewe, the house's setting is quiet and lovely with a welcoming community of people who largely seem to have not been able to go home after their holiday. We too found it tough to leave but will be back!

  • "Srondubh is a lovely place - well appointed and the location couldn’t be beaten."

    There was an excellent welcome pack and fresh flowers to greet us and the Inverewe staff responded very quickly to a small issue that arose. We may return even though it took us 19 hours to get there from our home in Gloucestershire. However, the NTS is risking its reputation allowing Sykes Cottages to manage the marketing and booking of this place - Sykes were awful communicators and I definitely would avoid booking anything through them in future. Very poor non-human mechanisms for responding to queries and the speed of response was unacceptable.

    Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Srondubh and we will be sure to pass your kind comments on to the onsite team. We're sorry to hear about your booking experience and appreciate you sharing your comments regarding Sykes. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

    The cottage is well furnished with all manner of home comforts.

    Inspite of coldish weather managed to make use of garden picnic bench in the early evening sun, with lovely views down the loch. Highly recommended.

  • "Very satisfied, beautiful house, lovely surroundings with Inverewe Gardens, Poolewe with a supermarket and a nice café, and great walks."

    The only problem was that we were given the wrong code and one of the phone numbers was incorrect. Fortunately, our contact person arrived very quickly and resolved the issue for us.

  • "The house was lovely very clean and all the fixtures and fittings were of a very high quality."

    It was spacious warm and the welcome pack was excellent especially the gin and whiskey even some tins of tonic water in the fridge.! There wasn’t anything to fault with the house The only thing I would say if you have dogs the garden wasn’t completely secure in that the garden wall would be fairly easily jumpable and the gate small dogs would fit through. However we took ours out in the garden on a longline and that worked for us. The walks around the property were lovely so by the time we got back the dogs were very happy to relax in their beds.

  • "Beautiful cottage."

    Spacious, welcoming and warm. Perfect setting. Saw no evidence of any of the drawbacks mentioned in previous review. Particularly loved the generous welcome pack and especially the flowers and spirits, super comfortable bedroom upstairs and sumptuous upstairs bathroom.

  • "We had a good stay at Srondubh but not a brilliant one."

    The location is the best thing about the house. We’ve stayed in lots of NT cottages over the past few years but this one didn’t meet the high bar we’ve come to expect. The decor feels quite institutional - a bit like a doctor’s waiting room - and it wasn’t that clean. We found lots of dog hairs, and it was hard to keep the kitchen clean during our stay with only a jay-cloth and no cleaning products. The kitchen surfaces felt quite cheap and need repairing where the edging has come away. There was a travel cot and high chair kindly provided for our son, but the travel cot is far too small for anything other than a very young baby so our son woke up constantly as he didn’t have enough space to move around. The high-chair on the other hand is only suitable for toddlers so we struggled to use it with our son (11 months old) as it’s too big. It was also a bit strange having the living room upstairs, and a gloomy second bedroom downstairs. We really liked Poolewe but wouldn’t stay at Srondubh again.

  • "Lovely cottage, snug and warm, even in the worst winter weather we experienced during our stay."

    Generally good layout for those with dogs, with side bootroom entrance and enclosed kitchen with hard floor. Front garden also fine for our dogs, although more ambitious hounds might spring over the walls! Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. Only very minor things - upstairs lounge and bit inconvenient away from the downstairs kitchen. Overall, great cottage which we woukd happily book again.

  • "Our second visit to Srondubh didn't disappoint."

    As last time, the cottage was spotlessly clean, with a small welcome selection of food and a Christmas tree. The area around was as magical as the first time, but this time we were treated to multiple sightings of Harbour Seals from the lounge and kitchen windows. This really is a high quality property in a special location.

  • "The property was easy to find with the directions provided and was even better than described."

    It's well-appointed with quality fixtures and fittings, well-insulated and warm. The house exceeded expectations in every way. Nicely decorated, well maintained with quality extras throughout. Even though it was a cold and wet week the house was warm and welcoming. The weather didn't stop us enjoying the house or the surrounding areas, and the additional free entry to Inverewe Gardens is a nice touch. We will be visting again.

    Thank you for your kind review, we're so pleased you enjoyed you holiday and the dreich Scottish weather couldn't dampen your stay! We'd love to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

  • "The check-in information was easy to follow and even though we arrived late (around 8pm) and it was dark we accessed the cottage easily - having the torch fully charged and available was fantastic."

    The cottage is so well equipped with everything you need and I loved the personal touches like the food in the fridge, the herbs and spices, the teas and coffee, the ornaments, the dog bowls, and the whiskey! Everything was spotless. The garden was enclosed but not secure for dogs so it may be worth highlighting that or securing the garden for people with dogs as the front gate is very close to the main road. The staff at the visitor centre were very helpful and friendly when we spoke to them about it. We would love to return as the cottage and the area are both amazing and we had a fantastic time despite the rain and cold! My only suggestion for improvement would be to somehow make the twin room downstairs more homely - it felt cold and impersonal compared to the rest of the house so even a few ornaments or more colour in the room might help.

  • "What a beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting!"

    On arrival, we were delighted with so many welcoming touches - fresh flowers, milk and bread and orange juice, biscuits, and even whisky and gin! We didn't realise it was a National Trust property, and there were beautiful pictures and items from the National Trust shop over the road in Inverewe Gardens. We also had free admission to the gardens, which were beautiful, and we had a great trip out on the boat with Jamie, seeing an otter, seals and lots of birds. The cottage was very well equipped and had everything we could possibly need. The beds were comfy, and we enjoyed putting wood on the stove in the evening. It's a dark sky area, and we saw millions of stars at night. This was the best holiday let we've ever been to, and it's the first time I've ever cried on leaving a place! Truly idyllic ❤️

  • "We stayed at Srondubh in August 2025 and were delighted to find out we were their first guests after a 3 year renovation of the property."

    The house was absolutely beautiful. It’s was spotlessly clean (which is important for someone with a bit of OCD around cleanliness so was a huge relief as you can never really know how clean holiday lets are going to be from pictures), top of the range appliances, lovely local toiletries and a very thoughtful welcome pack of teas, coffees, bread, milk, biscuits, even local whiskey and gin and some lovely provisions for our dog too. Staying at the house gave us free entry to the inverlewe gardens which is an absolute must visit on your trip. They were stunning and a wonderful gift shop too. We used the house as a home away from home on a road trip so we were able to visit Corrieshalloch gorge, Gairloch beach, big sands beach, Firemore beach, ardvreck castle, clashnessie falls and beach, allt chranaidh waterfall and eve the Isle of Skye. We will definitely be coming back again in the future!

    Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed the welcome touches, the gardens, and the chance to explore so much of the surrounding area. It’s wonderful to hear you felt at home and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back to a National Trust for Scotland property in the future. Property Owner

POOLEWE

Dingwall 50 miles; Ullapool 50 miles.

The pretty village of Poolewe sits in the shelter of Loch Ewe, at the mouth of the River Ewe where it tumbles down from Loch Maree. It is a pretty place in an area of spectacular scenery and is home to a well-stocked shop, small swimming pool and two hotels. The world-renowned Inverewe Garden (National Trust for Scotland) is half a mile across the bay from the village. The site was developed by the botanist Osgood Mackenzie from 1862 until his death in 1922. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, it is home to exotic plants, imported from all over the world – a must for all visitors to the area. Firemore beach is five miles to the west and north along the coast is Gruinard Bay with its striking sands; a series of attractive beaches skirt the bay and a number are easily reached from the main road. With spectacular scenery, mountains, excellent hillwalking, golf, fishing, wildlife cruises and much more, this is a great area for a holiday!
