Pool House

Superb situation of Pool House makes it a must for keen nature spotters as we saw otter, seals and dolphin plus a myriad of amazing birdlife.

The house itself is very well equipped, warm and cosy with ample comfy seating for relaxing after a long walk. It also has beautiful views across the Loch. The friendly local shop at Poolewe supplies everything else you need including locally grown fruit and veg, and fresh produce.

This is a cottage with the most wonderful location and an amazing view across Loch Ewe to the mountains.

For us it was a nostalgic return to an area we visited often 30 years ago, and the cottage gave us the chance to return to find it still unspoilt. It is a lovely base for walks, wildlife and views. The cottage is well appointed,, and the owners were very friendly, approachable and helpful, which helped the cottage feel like a real family home.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

Very clean and well equipped. The beds were so comfortable and the whole place felt like home. Be aware that it is quite isolated - which suited us - but bring food with you!!

Lovely clean and cosy house .

Amazing amount of essentials stocked up ie: coffee, sugar and cleaning products. Perfect location to explore all around. It was a home from home.

Without doubt a great holiday home for anyone who loves wildlife and the outdoors.

The views were fantastic which made up for some of the quirkiness. Downstairs bathroom wouldn't suit everyone but bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. A truly memorable stay.

Pool House absolutely outstanding with everything we need and more.

Would love to stay again in the future. Thanks for sharing your house with us.

Wonderful location, clean and tidy.

Very warm and comfortable. Kitchen a squeeze but not a problem. Everything you needed to do a little cooking. Just sitting and watching the scenery relaxing and birds just great

This house was a great find.

A hidden gem ! We absolutely loved it and had a fabulous time there. Everything there you could possibly want or need. Spotlessly clean, very spacious, a real home from home in a beautiful location with a view to die for.

Pool House is a beautiful property.

It is very comfortable and very well equipped. The views are stunning no matter what the weather. It is accessible to many varied walks in the area and to beautiful Inverewe gardens. The village shop and Morrisons in Gairloch are very well stocked .

Have stayed at Pool House for a number of years.

The property leaves you wanting for nothing, the owners being very generous in what they provide for your stay. The scenery is always stunning, the peace & tranquility a welcome escape from modern life.

Wonderful place in a great location

An excellent property, very comfortable and with stunning loch-side views.

The only minor criticism I have is that there is no point in the bathroom or anywhere to re-charge an electric toothbrush.

Great holiday home with everything thats needed for a comfortable stay and a perfect setting by the Lochside.

An absolute please and can't wait to come back, the owners are wonderful and very helpful.

the views out of this world and it's the ideal get away from modern life, thankyou so much for everything.. John White

Pool House was very clean and comfortable with everything catered for and views spectacular the downside was the heating system was set to come on at certain times which it did but did not stay on the whole time.

Even moving the settings as suggested by owner did not help. It was very cold so had to revert to electric fires

This house is a little gem in a most beautiful location.

Thoughtfully equipped, comfortable and cosy with the most stunning views , Pool House is the perfect place for a peaceful Highland holiday .

Pool House was a lovely cottage, nice and warm, a great shower, comfy beds and well-equipped kitchen.

It is right on the sea loch with a fabulous view of mountains. The owners were friendly and helpful.

Our third time at Pool House and it never disappoints.

Everything you could want is provided and then some. It always feels like a home from home. Opening the curtains in the morning to see that view is something special.

This was our third stay, why do we keep coming back?

Because it's amazing! The views are outstanding and it's so peaceful. The cottage has everything you could possibly need.

Very well equipped sleeping 5 not 4 as listed but single bed was not made up, very efficient heating system, no dryer just washing machine so that detail needs deleting for accuracy.

Not really space for 2 cars either, but this cottage was the best equipped we have stayed in over many years. Very comfortable with electric reclining sofas. Good butchers, bakers available in Gairloch and very good village shop in Poolewe so everything you need very close. Views from cottage are fabulous.

Fine house in a great position in a lovely area.

Good views direct from the house and garden. Well organised - particularly the kitchen - e.g. cupboards free for guest's supplies, not filled up with host's stuff; and a choice of washing "tools" not just one. (Heating control slightly baffling but worked effectively when set.) Would love to stay again.

Excellent and very comfortable accommodation with spectacular views, situated right on the foreshore of Loch Ewe.

Possible to spot a variety of sea birds and even seals directly from the dining room table! Great base for exploring the local lochs, coasts, countryside and hills.

Stayed in Pool House last year & had to come back.

Beautiful property & stunning location. Everything provided for, didn’t want for anything.

A stunning location, very comfortable and clean house with all amenities we needed.

The house acts like a hide for wildlife being so close to a small river and Loch. From the house we saw Red deer drinking from the small river on the beach, Loads of water based birds fishing and foraging for food amounts the seaweed and we saw a Otter down in Poolewe on the River Ewe. Landscapes around the house and local area is incredible. We Kayaked on Loch Maree instead on Loch Ewe as Loch Ewe has some big currents that we didn’t feel happy about tackling. Highly recommend the Loch Kernasary circular walk make sure to go round the walk clock wise it’s far more spectacular. Owners have been brilliant and been easy to get hold off.

Perfect location for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.

The views are simply breathtaking. The house is very well equipped and couldn’t ask for more. Best house we have booked by far.

This property is fantastic in every way, the owners thought of everything that you might need, the property was very clean and homely with outstanding veiws thank you very much for making it a great holiday.

The hosts have thought of everything to ensure you have a great holiday experience.

Beautifully furnished throughout. Well equipped kitchen. Very clean and well maintained. Lovely garden where we watched baby sparrows being fed. Fantastic views across Loch Ewe. Many thanks for making this a memorable holiday. Anna.

Property comfortable and well maintained.

Excellent position a few feet from the sea looking east across Loch Ewe. Easy to find. Shops and other facilities in Poolewe and Gairloch. Good walks in the area for all abilities. Inverewe Gardens well worth a visit. Abundance of bird life in the vicinity of Pool House.

Property was very well equipped, comfortable and cosy.

Location was delightful. All good would recommend very highly.

What a lovely cottage .

surrounded by stunning scenery. Great place to Stay for touring a round .would recommend it. Would like to thank the owners for allowing us to use there cottage.

In a great location and great views from window House very clean and everything you need

Fabulous property, very comfortable with everything that we could wish for.

Very comfortable, clean cottage, very well-provided with necessities, and more, and with lovely views over Loch Ewe, which it is next to.

Highly recommended.

The house is in a lovely spot, perfect for access to the shore and for views across the loch to the north.

We found the house extremely clean, well equipped and comfortable; the only drawback was the awkwardness of the drive.

An lovely cottage with the most amazing view of Loch Ewe - it's literally on your doorstep.

If you want peace and quiet in a relaxing location, this is the place. Accommodation is great, comfortable beds, lots of living space. Sit outside and enjoy the views.

What a lovely place to stay - everything was so comfortable, very clean and homely.

The location with the views over the lake and to the mountains were stunning - we saw so many birds on the lake that we hadn't seen before - Great Northern Diver, Merganzers, Dunlin, Greenshank. Have already recommended this house to friends - and we would definately stay here again.

Nice, geneerally well equiped house in beautiful surroundings.

Very clean and tidy on entry. Excellent heating. Kitchen adequate but very small and not very well arranged. No dishwasher, which mattered more since sink and drainer very awkwardly placed for hand washing up. Owner VERY helpful indeed over e-bike storage -- much appreciated. Three minor failings: 1) only one bathroom in the house situated downstairs but all bedrooms situated upstairs. This should really be made clearer in the description -- and the provision of chamber pots in the bedrooms, old fashioned as it might seem, could be very useful. 2) we were seriously too hot in bed under a duvet which felt both over heavy and needlessly warm. Only on stripping the beds to leave did we discover that the duvet was in fact 2 10 tog duvets one held on top of the other by poppers. If we had known this at the start of the week we could have discarded one duvet and spent more comfortable nights, 3) Parking area is claimed to have room for two cars. It's adequate for one, but two would be very tight indeed. Moreover entry to the parking space is awkward and when arriving from Poolewe requires either reverse entry from a surprisingly busy road or a 300 yard drive to find space to turn round so as to enter the space forwards. Needless to say leaving the parking space onto a band in a single track road only permits departure in one direction and requires a turn-around to go in the other.

Wonderfully located right next to the shore with a magnificent panoramic view over Loch Ewe giving excellent landscape photograph opportunities.

A well designed building with good and easy to control heating. It was so thoughtfully equipped that we had everything we needed. Every room was spotlessly clean and tidy and the garden carefully tended.

Superb holiday cottage with everything needed generously supplied.

Cosy and spotless. Parking may be an issue for bigger vehicles (we usually travel in a van and that would have been tight) Great view, always fascinating.

Excellent situation with lots of opportunities for observing wildlife.

Very well equipped cottage, warm and comfortable.

Very well equipped house in wonderful location.

All facilities were provided, satelitte tv very good. Beautiful views over the loch to the mountains. Nice garden with lots of birds to feed. Good to have two comfortable rooms to sit in.

Pool House was spotlessly clean and in a stunning location on the shore of Loch Ewe.

It was perfectly placed for the exploration of the local area and its' history. We enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic cottage and location, great and thoughtful facilities.

Cottage was in a fantastic location, spotless when we arrived and so very well stocked of all the essentials.

Fantastic location.

Brilliant view across the loch. Very well equipped cottage

A warm cosy cottage in a fabulous location on the edge of Loch Ewe.

Good old-fashioned spacious comfort! Good Wifi and two large TVs. Garden views in three directions, incl. across the loch north to distant mountains and inland towards the Beinn Eighe range. Seabirds on the loch and many birds in the garden, but sadly I didn't see an otter. There is no local pub or restaurant, which might not suit some. The drive is four miles from Poolewe along a single-track road. There's a lovely sandy beach a few miles further along the loch. I'd certainly revisit.

The cottage was fabulous as usual - a home from home with fantastic views

Brilliant location with magnificent view.

A great place to relax and accommodate a family!

Excellent holiday home,well equipped,very clean and very comfortable,fantastic views and good location.

The house was warm, comfortable and very well equipped.

It is in a wonderful setting with glorious views. Watching the sunrise from behind the hills is just amazing. We hope to return one day. Julia Walters

What a fantastic place the house is perfect for two or six , lovely views night and day

Superb location views are fantastic.

Parking was a little difficult and steep but we managed. The cottage has everything need and more, live the electric recliners

A very well equipped and comfy house with superb views.

This cottage was beautiful.

.. much better than we had expected! Amazing location with tremendous views over the sea. Amazing value. Thank you.

Had a very good holiday at this cottage Everything was very good indeed ,a smooth booking ,the owners were very good aswell if we needed anything just had to ring them .

Would use Skye cottages again

Comfortable and very well equipped cottage.

Ideal location at the loch side gave us plenty of opportunity for wildlife watching.

Very comfy house in a great location overlooking Loch Ewe.

A lovey cosy cottage with everything we needed - comfy beds, hot shower and only a few miles from the village where we could get our essentials.

but the setting was breathtaking. Opening the curtains in the morning and seeing the crystal clear waters of the loch against the mountainous backdrop was an awesome sight and one that will stay with us forever. Watching the occasional seal in the bay was a bonus and the walks to the cliffs at the end of the peninsula were exhilarating. Gairloch is close by where you grab something to eat and go out on a boat trip if you fancy it. We were lucky enough to have fantastic weather which only added to an already great holiday. What a fantastic setting for potentially a wonderful holiday.

Wonderful setting, comfortable house that is well stocked with all of the basics.

From the breakfast table watched great northern diver, seals, and otter.

Wonderful cottage, well equipped, comfortable and excellent situated on the edge of the loch.

Loads of wildlife, otters, seals, great northern divers etc. Excellent local facilities - don't miss Poolewe market on Tuesday mornings. Brilliant than you.

Great views, excellent beach nearby.

House warm and very comfortable. Sykes accidentally let us book for 5 people when in fact the 3 rd room is not supposed to be used and max is occupation is 4. However a call to the owner saw a neighbour come quickly with key for the linen cupboard and sort out the third bedroom for our use so excellent response from the owner.

This is a fabulous house and we have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday We had everything we needed and rested very well Love this place and am sure we will return Thank you Susan Davies

Pool House is a lovely cottage and is right on the shores of Loch Ewe, with stunning views across the loch to the Mountains of Suilven and Ben Mor Coigach.

We saw a variety of wildlife from the dining room, including an otter feeding near to the slipway. If you are a hillwalker or lover of wildlife this is an ideal place to stay.

Whenever I book with Sykes, the experience is very easy and hassle free.

This cottage was so lovely, the views were spectacular, the house was clean and so very well stocked. I had a text conversation with the owner at one point, and she couldn't have been nicer if she tried. This cottage is definitely one I would return to.

Pool House was simply the best in every way, the house has a lovely atmosphere, and the owners have obviously gone to great lengths to provide everything that we could possibly have needed.

The garden is also beautifully kept, and the views are stunning. This is one that we most definitely will be returning to, a real gem.

It was the cleanliness of the cottage the location the people around the cottage wer very friendly just a perfect holiday as the last couple of years I will be booking for next year a big thank you to everyone involved.

Had a great week although the weather was cold.

There were no spare blankets/duvets and we contacted the owners as our boys were cold during the night. The owners delivered some extra blankets which was great service considering the location. Apart from this the cottage is very well equipped and clean.

We enjoyed the location,the comfort of the cottage and especially the view and wildlife on the doorstep.

We cant wait to return !

A nice cottage with superb views.

Comfy and had everything we needed. Would certainly visit again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday

Super comfortable and clean.

Very quiet and secluded. Beautiful outlook and perfect setting on Loch Ewe. Extremely helpful owners.
