Westhaven

We had a wonderful time at Westhaven.

The house was so comfortable and the view from the large living room window was stunning. Homeowners were very helpful. Lots to see in this beautiful area of Scotland. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved the house, the area, and the local people.

We had a wonderful holiday, I ticked off a bucket list item in walking on the beach they filmed 'Local Hero' which was a just across the bay. I would love to go back.

I booked my first time with you, and this is my best choice.

Your property is really nice, peaceful, and very clean. Thanks to you makes my holiday enjoyable and peaceful.

Please provide a potato peeler, otherwise great.

There are very few faults to pick here, however I do have three small improvements to suggest.

It would be great if there was a small light out on the patio area where the picnic table is. This would be useful to light the way down to the garden in low light or for sitting out there. A washing machine is great to have, but if it was a washer drier this would be even better. The paving of the approach to the main door (with the keysafe) is a little loose in places and is a tripping hazard.

Westhaven is in a stunning location with fabulous views from the large lounge windows.

The dining table easily accommodates 8 and there is a plentiful supply of crockery cutlery and glassware. The beds are comfortable and the linen is luxurious. This was our fourth visit and we have already booked next year. Highly recommended.

Ideal location for trips in loval area and Inner Hebrides.

House was huge. Comfy beds and lovely views. Lots to see and do.

Morar is a gem of a place, beach outside of house is amazing.

2 miles from Mallaig where shops, trips, ferry are. Lots to see and do. Rode ScotRail train Mallaig to Fort William across viaduct. Location of house is excellent.

A very well presented property with fabulous views across the bay.

The property had everything that we needed and is located within 5 mins of amenities.

Had a relaxing week in such a beautiful location.

Clean, comfortable, spacious property. Peaceful with fabulous views of the morar estuary. Would love to return in the future.

Most beautiful view of any holiday house we’ve had!

You could just watch that view all week. Really comfortable house - bigger I’d say than the pictures look. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed feeding the garden sparrows all week. Lots of secluded beaches all around this area. Boat trip from Arisaig was a highlight as we saw a whale and loads of dolphins. Friendly, helpful owners. All in all - fantastic.

We had a lovely stay at Westhaven, what a stunning location and superb accommodation.

It had everything we needed. The owners are very attentive and kind. Thank you!

Once again an excellent stay at Westhaven although the weather was not so kind this year.

Enjoyed wild water swimming in the river for the first time and watched otters from the decking! Have already booked again for 2026. Roger

We’ve stayed in lots of holiday properties over the years and this was very well equipped and comfortable - a real home from home.

The waterside location and views were superb and it was very easy to enjoy day trips to Skye and Knoydart via ferries from Mallaig, not to mention the wonderful beaches all the way from the house to Arisaig. NOT FOR PUBLICATION: I think the only thing missing was a hairdryer (maybe I didn’t find it) and for us it would have been better if the heating had come on earlier as we tend to be up before 0730, which meant the bathroom etc was a bit chilly and towels not dry from night before.

The cottage has everything you need to enjoy your holiday.

The view is stunning. Very peaceful. Rooms are large and airy. The bedrooms are comfortable and plenty of storage space. I would definitely recommend this property.

Fantastic stay at Westhaven.

Such a lovely property and the kids loved the bunk beds and all the toys they had to play with! Really well equipped property and the views were just so beautiful.

Excellent.

High quality, comfortable accomodation in perfect spot. Check out time of 9am was a little early.

Return trip.

Love this property, great location, great views, warm welcome, a real home from home. The only downside for me is the bed in the main bedroom is too firm for me but the other double is much better.

Westhaven is the ideal property for our group.

The location is excellent, very well provided kitchen and luxurious bedding and towels. There is so much to do in the area - kayaking, walking, golf and the Small Isles. So good we have already booked for next year, which will be our fourth!

One the most enchanting places to stay for location and facilities I have encountered.

Very lovely accommodation with wonderful amenities throughout. The owners are to be congratulated for their imaginative provisions for a family vacation. They were very helpful pre-arrival and made sure our holiday was enjoyable. We can give the highest recommendation for this adorable venue.

The house was fabulous.

Very comfortable, clean and spacious for the six adults who were staying. It was lovely to be able to use the wood burning stove and the wood and coal was provided. The house had easy access to some wonderful beaches and a great location for discovering the wider area and for getting ferries to the islands. We visited Eigg and Skye. The view from the living window was amazing.

Well equipped property.

Unbeatable location, quiet with outstanding views from lounge window with seats to take it all in. Very helpfull owner. We will be back.

This is a superb property in a fantastic location,with good local access to hiking,beaches,boat trips etc.

We would highly recommend this property and would happily book again in the future.

Excellent.

Great property. Great location. Wonderful area. great views. Westhaven has all you need of a holiday home and great for a family holiday.

Absolutely beautiful setting with fabulous view and gorgeous coast within walking distance.

Incredibly cosy, comfortable, well equipped; furnished and maintained to a high standard, the bungalow has a well cared for and generous homely feel. We had a very relaxing holiday with our baby and toddler, who also loved all the touches around the house. We felt that it very thoughtfully combined everything a family needed with a spacious and restful setting for adults! Thanks again :)

We had a wonderful week here.

The views from the cottage are amazing what ever the weather. Managed to find a different short walk everyday near to the cottage . The cottage was very comfortable and spacious. Will definitely come again.

A great place to stay with the family, can't wait to return ASAP.

Had a great time at Westhaven.

The owners communication was really friendly and relaxed which helped put us at ease even before we arrived. Felt like a real home from home, spacious, bright and well equipped. Views are stunning. Great places to walk and swim in sea nearby. My only issue was I found the bed on the hard side and it would be great to have a mattress topper to make it a bit softer as an option for people like me with multiple aches. The others without aches found the beds ok. Booked to return again next year which says it all.

Beautiful clean house with awesome views across the bay to silver sands beach.

The bedrooms are well appointed with plenty wardrobe space and beds very comfy. Kitchen just the right size for property. Living room is huge with large patio doors and a wood burner which was well used during our stay. Comfy sofas and chairs.

What a beautifully located and immaculately clean house.

Had everything we needed. We could have just spent the whole week watching the tide go in and out from the front room. A really lovely place.

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at Westhaven - the pictures don’t do it justice!

The accommodation was spotless and beautifully presented, and the children’s toys and books were a welcome surprise! We were very lucky with the weather and the beaches in walking distance were outstanding, but we’d have been just as happy watching the tides go in and out from the comfort of the front room. Everything has been thought of and we’re already planning a return trip.

What a fabulous property, far exceeded our expectations.

The view is stunning and it was hard to drag ourselves away. Great location and we found lots to do round and about. Loch Morar and Silver Sand beaches so close. The owners are so helpful, and have thought of everything you might need. Loved the stained glass window in the cloakroom. One of the best properties we have stayed at in a long time . We were so lucky with the weather too. Hope to be back one day.

We had a wonderful week at Westhaven.

We were really able to relax in your beautiful comfortable cottage with the best view ever overlooking the Loch. The cottage was well equipped and nicely decorated. All our needs were catered for including teddy bear blankets! We enjoyed walks, runs, boat trip to Inverie, swims in the pool at Mallaig and in the sea! We hope to return again soon.

We’re just back from a fantastic stay at Westhaven.

Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location, the views of the estuary from the lounge and deck are incredible. Lovely coastal walks and beaches on your doorstep. Shops and restaurants all very short distances from the house. Didn’t want the holiday to end.

A wonderful house in a marvellous location.

This is the second time we have stayed at Westhaven and we certainly hope to be back.

Fantastic house in fantastic situation .

Very comfortable and in easy access to wonderful coastal walks . Owners very helpful . Local shops short drive away and well provided . Loved being there and hope to return .

Awesome property, very helpful owners, great communication, stunning views and would definitely recommend.

Fabulous location and property.

The place was perfect. All our guests thought the same.

The owner responded quickly and helpfully to a query which we really appreciated.

The property is comfortable and spacious and in a stunning location. It's a perfect holiday cottage with thoughtful, homely touches.

Fantastic cottage in a fantastic location, even if you haven't got the weather there's so much to do the the surrounding area, the cottage itself is very spacious with a lovely sitting room overlooking the estuary, the grand kids loved the garden and the walk around to the small beaches, overall this is a cottage which is one of the best I've ever stayed in.

Westhaven was everything we hoped for in a holiday home, perfectly positioned on the water’s edge and really well equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need, which is why it was rather a shock to find there was no hair dryer,rather basic I would have thought !

We went out and bought our own . I telephoned the owner, who informed me that there had been one but it had been stolen which is rather unfortunate but shouldn’t mean that future guests are penalised. It was my only gripe though apart from that,our stay was perfect.

Beautiful property situated in a fantastic position overlooking the Morar estuary.

The owners were really accommodating when I contacted them before we set off regarded a couple of questions about parking and our son wanting to spend a couple of nights in his little tent even though there was a perfectly comfortable bed in the house for him! I wish we could have met them to thank them in person, but as luck would have it they were taking a holiday at the same time (ps... Google has informed me that the grass will be green again quickly with some sunshine and rain, although I'm not wishing rain on anyone who holidays after us!) Speaking of rain, we did miss a tumble dryer to get though all that damp clothing for a family of 7 and an additional shower would have been heaven speaking as the mum who always seemed to be at the back of the queue when it came to getting ready to go out for a meal etc. but, there was always plenty of hot water even for the last one in and the lack of both these luxuries didn't put a dampner on our week away. I've been holidaying in and around Arisaig/Morar annually since my parents started bringing us over 50 years ago to stay on Peter's campsite, passing the bug on to my kids and I can honestly say that in recent years, Westhaven gets my 5 star rating compared to any other self-catering accommodation.

Photos do not do this place justice.

The house has an impressive amount of space, a great garden and only 5 minutes away from a secluded beach. Absolutely phenomenal and I look forward to booking again.

One of the best equipped, cleanest and comfortable cottages we have ever booked in our 14yrs of visiting all corners of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.

It outshone our expectations and the description and pictures. Would highly recommend. Host super efficient too.

Absolutely beautiful and clean place.

Well equipped and well laid out. Gorgeous scenery, didn't need the TV, watching the ever changing views of the estuary and all the wild life. Would recommend 100%

Back again.

Not only the property is outstanding but the scenery from the living room window showing golden sands. Plenty walks including from the doorway, plus ferries from nearby Mallaig.

Fabulous holiday house in a great position.

The lounge was huge and the feature of the patio window overlooking the sea was wonderful. A great place for a family holiday as children are obviously catered for. Would definitely return if in the area

Westhaven is in a stunning location, perfect for exploring the local area.

The cottage is beautiful, has everything you could need and the perfect location for paddlers. To wake up to such a view every morning was just a delight. The owners were so helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend and return.

Westhaven is a little slice of paradise, the location is fantastic as is the cottage.

The hosts Nancy & Willie were also really helpful.

Wonderful cottage in a beautiful location.

This was our second visit to Westhaven and we loved every minute of it.

The cottage is well-equipped, spacious and comfortable, beautiful location and cannot fault the view. Nancy and Willie are great hosts, keep in touch and clearly care about Westhaven and the guests that visit. We can't wait to come back again in the future.

We had a lovely holiday in a great holiday cottage.

Easy access to beaches and a beautiful view from the house!

Brilliant cottage excellent sea views amazing beaches and walks Morrison delivers comfortable well equipped can’t fault it had a boat trip from Araisaig

We love this place and return annually.

Absolutely stunning location, swam every day from in front of the house and the kids loved the beautiful quiet beaches which are a short walk away.

Even on a stormy day it was great just to watch the waves from the sitting room.

We love this house.

Third visit and booked for next year!

Brilliant holiday cottage.

The cottage was very clean, well equipped with everything we needed and had fantastic views. The owner was very helpful and gave us lots of suggestions and tips for the area. We will definitely be back.

Nice house!

Good facilities. And the communication was very good. The heating did not work but after a call, the owner was there in a few minutes. Great!

What an amazing place to stay,cottage comfortable slept 8.

very well equipped,cosy and with the most spectacular views. Quite possibly the best holiday for all our family to enjoy. Can't wait to book again. Would highly recommend it.

The information given does not give any idea of just how picturesque the location of the cottage is.

There are simply stunning views through the picture window in the lounge

Overall the property was excellent, however, we thought that parking for only two cars was too limited for an eight birth accommodation.

The situation of the house was ideal for children to enjoy a beach holiday.

The view from the picture windows was beautiful. We have been in many holiday lets over the years but this was the best ever for being stocked with activities for children for the days of West Highland rain as well as being one of the best in general terms. The owner was particularly helpful in providing an extra high chair, cot and buggy for our 1 year old twins.

Fabulous, well equipped cottage with amazing views in a great location

Wonderful property amidst stunning scenery Property very convenient for sightseeing and touring Property would benefit from a tumble dryer

A very well equipped comfortable house ,on a beautiful location,catered for all ages.

Would recommend it an certainly go back again.

Think all properties should have a First Aid box, sticking plasters included.

Fantastic location and holiday property with the most amazing view to the Silver Sands Great house.

very comfortable. Had a week of fantastic weather. Recommended

Great location and house very comfortable.

All good!

A very warm fully equipped and very clean house, I would go as far to say, it’s one of the best we have ever stayed in, the views where stunning as well.

The property was very pleasant and well equipped.

We had a lovely time.

Westhaven is a very spacious, warm and comfortable house with great facilities.

It is very well equipped, plenty of toys, games and fun for children. There is lots to explore in the area. We loved the views and being cosy in front of the fire. It was a great place to have a family holiday.

A great, family friendly house.

Lovely views. Easy access to little visited, nearby beaches. Very warm and comfortable. Well equipped, including toys and books. Very comfortable beds. Utility room with a pulley for drying clothes, very useful in the west Highlands! Highly recommended.
