1 Sandholm

We loved this accommodation with great views out to sea and across to the islands.

We did have trouble finding the property when we arrived in Morar. The property is in an elevated position behind a large cream coloured house called Sandholm. There is a sign but it's low down on a wall and easily missed . Arriving from Fort William you will turn right to enter the village on the B8008. Drive over a bridge and under a railway bridge. Continue maybe half a mile into the centre of the village. Once in the village cross the railway line, the Morar Hotel is on your left and the Train Station on your right. Continue a little along the road and just before it starts to descend Sandholm is on your right (look for the sign at the bottom of the wall). There is a steep drive up but plenty of parking at the top.

Very clean and comfortable.

Beautiful views, perfect location

Nice holiday property and great location and views.

We've stayed here before and hope to return. Well equipped but please provide instructions in how to operate the TV. We watched programmes on a tablet as we were unable to get usual channels (BBC etc) working.

Great location, lovely view.

The location on Google Maps was inaccurate so we had to call for directions but I've flagged the correct location on Google Maps so at least that's sorted. The TV doesn't actually have Freeview (no UHF or Satellite). It does have some smart TV apps and the WiFi is good but live TV is restricted. We could only get BBC and Channel 5 channels live. Again, we had to call for guidance. The kitchen could do with an oven glove and the sofas were not the most comfortable.

Lovely cottage ,clean,comfortable and two good parking places available.

Really enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous base to explore the area. Brilliant views. Prompt response from the owner when we couldn’t work the heating. Would recommend and happily stay again

The sofas are really uncomfortable.

Knives for cooking preparation were blunt. One of the bulbs in the kitchen wasn't working. The CH system was very difficult to fathom out. There needs to be clear instructions in the black folder. A new chopping board is needed. Directions were ambiguous, a map indicating the exact position of the house would be very useful. We enjoyed our stay. Great location but just want to draw your attention to these areas that could be improved.

Very nice property in stunning location.

Cottage was very comfortable and catered for all our needs.

We would have appreciated a user's manual for the property i.

e. a collection of user's manual for all appliances and instructions for TV/decoder.

Thank you for the lovely stay at your property.

Comfortable beds, really clean, and came equipped with everything we needed. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely be back!

Thank you for a lovely stay at your cottage.

We found it to be clean and well equipped for our family of four. The views from the sitting room window are stunning. We were especially lucky to experience the sunset over the Isles of Eigg and Rum.

The 2 single beds need replacing with new comfortable mattresses and bases immediately.

They are so old! The owner told me they were new 2 years ago but this can not be true! Maybe new to the cottage but not bought brand new! Grater is really really rusty. Hoover doesn't work very well at all... often spreading dust instead of sucking it up! Settees - not comfortable. More tea spoons would be an improvement. Better/replacement frying pan would also be good. Bathroom and main double bedroom good. Location and parking good. 20 or so steps up which the description does mention. Great views. The cleaner does an amazing job.

This is a delightful and comfortable holiday property.

An ideal base for visiting the area e.g. the islands of Skye, Eigg, Muck, Rum, Canna and the remote areas of Knoydart and Moidart. Would recommend the magical local beaches of Morar and Cambusdarach

A bit more info about use of appliances in the house would have been appreciated e.

g. TV took me quite some time to figure out how it worked. Clean windows to appreciate the view would have been a plus. Lack of WiFi was a big negative. Rubbish disposal info was out of date but our neighbors filled us in.

The write up does warn that there are steps up to the property.

Yes, but they are concrete and safe with a rail. Although this could be a problem for some visitors, the view from the sitting room and double bedroom far out ways any inconvenience. The view is beautiful! The fridge does have an internal freezer this is small and a larger separate unit would be better. The double bed is very comfortable and storage is fine.

Satellite TV could not be operated and was reported by a previous occupant.

Paul on emergency number did his best to rectify and, failing, exchanged our set for another. Certainly not a cottage for the disabled with the stepped approach through garden, and car-park up steep bank. Slugs coming through kitchen sink plughole may not be a problem rectifiable!

We enjoyed our stay in a very comfortable cottage with a superb view.

The steps up to the front door would be a challenge for many people. The description of an open fire is misleading. There is a fireplace but it is not set up for use. It would be helpful to note on the website that all books and games have been removed for hygiene reasons. The electric towel rail in the bathroom was not working. There are only three mugs which is insufficient for a property that sleeps four people.

You description and picture of the cottage was totally different to the one that you actually rented to me.

This holiday was clearly missold to me. One of our group had knee issue. Had you described that there were numerous steps to the cottage , I would never have booked this . We were very disappointed and that messed quite a few our plans.

The view from the front room window was breathtaking.

The cottage was nicely kitted out with everything you needed for a short stay. Morar is a very small village with no shops, so ensure you go to the Co-op in Mallaig. The Silver Sands of Morar are stunning and very clean. Good location if you have a car or other transport , only 2 miles from Mallaig. Ideal if you don't want the hussle and bussle of City life. Tranquility Itself!! The scenery is absolutely beautiful and photographs cannot do it justice. Lovely Cottage, well worth a visit

Although a problem with kitchen tap on arrival this was corrected very quickly .

The cottage was perfect for our stay clean and comfortable with all equipment very good quality and I would highly recommend it .

This is a very nice cottage with a lovely situation and beautiful view.

On the whole it is very well-equipped and very comfortable. However, the lack of WIFi is a real difficultly which is not compensated for by the 4G signal. We ended up with a large bill just using 4G to plan our day and to order food etc. We had an unfortunate beginning to our holiday: on arrival we found the dishwasher contained dirty dishes left by the previous party. Since we had no dishwasher tablets we had to spend part of our first evening washing someone else’s dirty dishes by hand - hardly ideal given the COVID situation. However, we would certainly re-book Sandholm despite these problems.

What a great view and central to the small town of morar.

Clean and comfortable.

This is a fantastic location in a quiet village excellent views over the small Isles great base for exploring the area.

The cottage is very well equipped, immaculately clean and very comfortable, the king size bed is fantastic, slept very well. (Personal preference ....we could have done with a fridge/ freezer rather than a fridge), however we would 100% recommend this property.We had one small issue with the cold water tap when we arrived but Sandra the owner, (who was very pleasant ) dent someone out to fix it the following morning. Superb service, many thanks for making our stay so enjoyable.

great holiday wonderful cottage.

one moan no W fi I am sure people would pay that extra. great holiday.

Lovely bungalow with stunning views in a fabulous location.

Light and airy. Well equipped. Couldn't have picked better. Was perfect for myself and my daughter. From here we were able to go walking, cycling, running, kayaking and explore including a ferry trip to Skye with the bikes. Everything we could have wanted in a holiday and more.

Cottage was everything we needed with lovely homely touches.

Very comfortable and very well equipped for a family or a couple. We will definitely come back .

this was a very nice cottage and area to stay, I was very happy when I see inside and it was clean and shower looked good and was.

a great view out across to the beech that was only a short walk down and a beautiful beech it is to. the cottage was very well set out with all that was needed. it was a shame that trees stuck up in the view i see it says they are cut back but the trees i see cant be as they are fir trees and they don't grow up once they are cut at top. the steps or ramp up was a bit of a walk but for me no trouble. I had not noticed there was no WIFI and that for me was a shame as there is a phone line so WIFI would make sense to get if possible as I'm sure much business is lost by that or should be clear on wright up no WIFI. and it was a shame that the tv was so bad there is a sky dish with lots of channels that don't work as there's no sky and most of the free view channels didn't work and the ones that did was bad and broke up lots even on good clear days I think it would be good to rip that sky out and get free view dish all set up as i think cables maybe lot of trouble. i feel a welcome pack on table would be nice not much just a letter saying hi and what's what as it was in a folder on a book shelf out the way. but it was nice that there was tea and milk left that's a great touch. my points are not complaints just ideas as the cottage was clean tidy and a joy to stay in the bed was best i have ever stayed in and there's been lots over years. also great stop small walk to see and get pics of steam train one like in harry potter not same one i may add and small walk to beech and the town not far but very busy town. thank you for a good holiday

There were only one roll of toiletpapir.

We had difficulties with the recycling system. It is not fully explained. We live in Denmark There were 3 hard chairs for the garden and one very small table. In the future the trees in front of the house will ruin the view.The 2 single beds were too short for my 2 sons. In spite of this we enjoyed our stay very much. Its a lovely place with a beautiful view. The lake, the river, the train and the beach with the changing tides were far from Denmark and we loved it. The busdrivers were friendly and helpful. We were travelling by train. We loved our stay.

The duvets were all winter weight and either summer weight or a spare sheet and blanket for each bed would make a huge difference.

We were really hot at night and with very light curtains in the double bedroom also awoke too early. The beds were very comfortable though. Otherwise though the place was great. The warning about steps was well justified and maybe a photo to show the steps would help, my husband who has mobility issues had not expected quite so many.

The most peaceful relaxing holiday imaginable.

The property was everything we could have asked for. Comfortable with superb views. Would highly recommend!

The cottage was well located for exploring both the small isles and the surrounding area.

When we arrived it was very clean and warm. There are spectacular views of Eigg and Rum from the living room and main bedroom. Everything was in the cottage that we needed. There are great beaches in walking distance from the cottage. Plan ahead in order to maximise time on the islands as on particular days the ferry crossings permit longer periods on the islands. We also did the walk to Tarbet and caught the ferry to Inverie - well worth it!

There is a breath-taking view of the Small Isles from the main bedroom and living room.

The house is equipped with everything we needed and the place was really comfortable, just great for our stay. The accommodation is in Morar village which is a couple of miles away from the hurly burly (such as it is!) of Mallaig.

Excellent cottage, immaculate condition.

The very best thing about the cottage was being able to sit eating my breakfast looking out across the bay at the islands in the distance, Glorious views. I hope to visit again.

Superb location and views.

Needs new shower, cooker and WiFi.

There were many positive elements to this accomodation, such as the location, the view, clean carpets and high standard bedding.

However there were quite a few niggly complaints. The double bed was very firm and small; the toilet seat was loose; the shower head was very small; the dining table and chairs were wobbly and felt a little unsafe. Having only one frying pan was tricky when trying to cook a Scottish breakfast for 4 adults, otherwise the kitchen was fairly well stocked for self catering. Overall, considering the cost, I would consider some areas to be tired and in need of refurbishment/ upgrading.

Great accommodation in a beautiful location with a lovely view,loads of amazing beaches only minutes away by car

Great wee cottage, that suited us fine.

Quiet location with lovely views, though only from inside the house, due to growing vegetation around. Well equipped and comfortable and would certainly recommend.
