  • "This is a beautiful house in a fabulous location, and the people who look after it, mainly Alan, the estate manager, and the lady who cleans the property do a wonderful job."

    The house has everything you could ever need, but the state of the sofas and soft furnishings like cushions really let the house down. The sofas are all torn (I have photos, if you need them), and are so dilapidated that they are just very uncomfortable. Come on, spend a few pounds, and update the soft furnishings to the level if the rest of this lovely property.

About the location

GLENELG

Shiel Bridge 9 miles; Skye 46.2 miles; Uig 68.9 miles; Broadford 29.2 miles.

Just ten miles from the main route to the Isle of Skye, the small coastal village of Glenelg lies on the shores of the Sound of Sleat, surrounded by scenery deemed magnificent even by West Highland standards. The glen has preserved its unspoilt beauty and sense of isolation, yet remains within easy reach of the more well-known centres of attraction in the area. Overlooking the Isle of Skye, it is situated on the route once used by drovers from Skye to get their cattle to the mainland, crossing over the narrow Kyle Rhea straits. A couple of miles from the village on the Arnisdale road you will find Sandaig bay, named "Camusfearna" by Gavin Maxwell in his novel Ring of Bright Water, and where there is a cairn for his beloved otter Edal. Glenelg also has the best preserved Pictish Brochs on mainland Scotland. The ruins of Bernera Barracks, an 18th Century garrison for English government troops, still stand next to the village.
