Taigh Na Talia - 2 Sandholm

A beautiful place if you don’t mind the steps.

A spacious property for the 2 of us which was also comfortable to return to.

Simple and no fussy items inside which is how we like it. We were incredibly fortunate with the weather and the accommodation was perfectly located to enable us to get out and about and explore the local area as well as visit 3 of the small isles.

Lovely house for our stay in Morar.

It was very comfortable and cosy. The location was great with the most amazing views of the sea with the islands of Rum and Eigg from the windows. Very good location to go on boat trips and the railway station for trips to Glenfinnan and Fort William. Some beautiful silver sand beaches along the coastal route between Morar and Arisaig.

We had a wonderful week in this very comfortable cottage with an amazing view of the sea and the islands.

It is ideally placed for walks, boat trips and the Fort William to Mallaig train( via the Glenfinnan viaduct) with Morar station only a 4 min walk away. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore this stunning area. Communication with the host was excellent.

We had a wonderful week, even with storm Amy causing a power cut on our last evening & departure morning.

The view from the house alone will make us want to return, but everything we needed had been thought of and was supplied making it a home from home. Many Thanks!

Lovely cottage, comfortable and clean Great situation with access to beaches and other walks from the property.

Amazing view from front windows. Easy access to Mallaig and Arisaig for boat trips to the small isles.

A cosy, clean and comfortable cottage in a beautiful area.

It was perfect for our stay. Many thanks.

This was our 3rd stay at Taigh Na Talia.

We know the area well and this is a very good place to stay to explore Morar, Arisaig, Mallaig and beyond. The cottage is clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The recent addition of WiFi is a big advantage. The owners provide lots of useful information and are very helpful and responsive to queries. Taigh Na Talia has one of the best views in Scotland - you can see the Isles of Rum and Eigg, and look across to the Bourblach Beach and the far side of the Silver Sands. Sunsets were beautiful most nights we were there. Decking and a bench, plus chairs and a table are lovely additions to the cottage. We were able to take the ferry from Arisaig to Eigg and saw dolphins and minke whales close to the boat. On Eigg we found plenty of good walking and excellent refreshments at the cafe. We also visited the Silver Sands, Bourblach Beach and the shell beach at Traigh. We found some good walking from Arisaig, We were able to get all our shopping from the Co-op in Mallaig and the Spar in Arisaig, Good fish and chips can be had in Mallaig (not cheap these days! ). In previous years we’ve been over to Rum and to Skye. The ferry to Inverie In Knoydart for a bit of a walk in beautiful remoteness is also a favourite. There are many other possibilities, and once again I left the place hoping to return one day and carry on exploring.

We had a very comfortable 2 week stay.

Cottage is well-located, and close to many walks, amenities. Lovely place to relax on a summer evening, with the garden decking providing views across the bay to Rhum. Only issue we encountered was with the fridge. We arrived during a very warm spell, and the area around the ice box developed a lot of ice which prevented the ice-box cover from closing properly.

Lovely bungalow, with stunning views and changing sunsets.

Warm and snug, and all the equipment worked well. Clear instructions for arrival and departure, and useful folder of things to do and tips. Lovely to hear the steam train chuffing up the hill behind the cottage!

Cottage very clean and comfortable Stunning views great as a base to explore, a train station 5min walk Ferry’s 10min drive

Accomadation and facilities are excellent Does everything it promises.

completely relaxing time .Great for walkers and be aware there is no law of trespass in Scotland. However access and possible damage must be considered at all times .sea fishing from the coast is ready available, canoeing etc .island visits are easy to do.

The cottage was clean & comfortable and in a stunning location.

It had everything that you need for a relaxing week away.

Very clean and comfortable.

A dishwasher would have enhanced the experience.

Great facilities a house with everything you need for a holiday easy to get around the islands an the area

We had an excellent stay in this beautiful place.

The cottage is wonderfully situated and has everything we needed for our week in the Highlands.

The cottage was great!

It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything we needed. The location was super and the views from the living room window were fantastic! There was also the added bonus of seeing the Jacobite steam train passing just behind the cottage. We really enjoyed our stay.

The apartment was lovely and clean with beautiful views and all appliances and utilities provided.

the only downside was the double bed it was so uncomfortable but could not fault anything else I would recommend this apartment

Lovely property with great views, & comfortable.

Well run - everything worked!

The cottage is set in a fantastic location with ever changing views of the sands.

The cottage is well equiped and comfortable with parking for 2 cars and additional storage in the garage.

Very comfortable and well appointed, with lots of helpful info from the host.

Location excellent too.

The first contact was amazing and really useful because I had not really had time to research things.

A nice and thoughtful touch.Instruction and advice clear straightforward and useful. The cottage lived up to all expectations and more. I think the owners take their responsibility seriously and have thought of everything that might be useful. We had no need to contact the owner but i'm sure if we had, they would have helped out immediately Well done!

Absolutely stunning from start to finish.

The views are beautiful and the cottage has everything u could possibly need. It really was a home from home. Can’t wait to go back

Very well equipped, spotlessly clean comfortable cottage with wonderful views and in a great location.

Everything worked in the cottage and communication with the owner was superb. Thanks for a great stay.

Taigh na Talia is an excellent holiday cottage in the most wonderful setting.

The view of Eigg and Rum from the window is incomparable. We spent a happy week here exploring the area and returning to the comfort of the house in the evening. The house is well-equipped and the owners are very helpful and respond quickly and helpful if you have any questions or problems. We visited Eigg by ferry and pootled about in Arisaig, Morar and Mallaig. We visited the beaches at Camasdarrach, the Silver Sands and the Bourblach (just a short walk away). There is a lot to see and do, but it’s also wonderful to just sit and take it all in.

We were utterly delighted with Taigh na Talia, as we wrote in the visitors' book.

The view out to Rum over the bay was stunning. The cottage was roomy, well-equipped (though I did once need a whisk, which I couldn't find) and comfortable (apart from a slightly harder mattress than I find desirable) and I was more than pleased to find a real BATH in the "bathroom" to ease aching muscles after walking - and climbing An Sgurr on Eigg! The situation was perfect for planning walks and boat and train trips. It was very obviously a loved family home and we felt privileged to share it. A Thai takeaway from "Sunset" made an excellent last night meal but the lack of a garage (petrol) and shop in the village should be noted.

Superb service provided.

Home was faultless, had a wonderful holiday and Graham was very helpful.

Fantastic views and a very convenient location for the beach, train, and local amenities.

Very quiett even though its next to the trainline. Private parking and access to the shed added to the ease of the stay.

This was our second visit and we weren’t disappointed.

Loved every minute. The cottage was a home from home, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The views from the front window are unbelievable, and we spent many an hour just staring at the beach, sea and islands. We used the train again to Glenfinnan and did plenty of walks as the weather was sunny but cold. The highlight was watching the Northern Lights from the front garden. What a show.!! We will never forget our stay and will be back!

A great little holiday home that was perfect for our needs.

Spotlessly clean, great beds, wonderful view (obviously). We were left wanting for nothing and will certainly be back. Thanks for the cake too, that was much appreciated.

A lovely comfortable property with extensive views over the beautiful silver sands of Morar.

It is a real home from home and is exceptionally clean and warm. It is a perfect base for hiking in the hills, mountains and beaches around the property and for exploring this scenic area by train. We visited Fort William and Glenfinnan from the station in the village and watched the Jacobite steam train pass by the garden. Fabulous! We would highly recommend this property and are going to book again.

We loved it.

However, we found the bath slippery when showering. A bath mat would be a good addition. Really lovely, well equipped property. Will reccomend.

A stunning Cottage.

The ever changing views across to the Isles of Rum and Eigg are wonderful. And the beaches in walking distance are sublime!! The property has everything you need for a relaxing holiday We loved seeing the Jacobite Steam train puffing it’s way past the cottage each day And we saw a rare and very beautiful Pine Marten in the back garden one evening A wonderful stay

Absolutely beautiful part of Scotland and I am definitely returning.

Graham was brilliant in keeping in touch and the place was warm with the most spectacular views of Morar bay …. Sax to come home really and already planned another trip as I have fallen in love with the area and the people! Thank you. Two years waiting to visit and I kid you not it was amazing. Get it booked. You won’t regret it.

This was our first time using Sykes cottages to book accommodation and every went smoothly.

The cottage itself was lovely ,in a great location with a wonderful view out to sea. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had every thing you would need for a holiday break.There was lots of information on the local area in the house and communications from the owner were very friendly and helpful. AS an added bonus we had the use of the garage and we used that to store our bikes.The owner (Graham) was very helpful when we left behind a couple of cycle helmets as he arranged to return them to us. We would hope to be able to book this property again in the future as we loved the time we had in the cottage in spite of the wet weather.Thank you.

We had a lovely stay in this cottage.

The views to Rhum & Eigg from the cottage were wonderful. The owners had provided lots of helpful information. We would definitely visit again if in that area. PS one of the patio wooden chairs was broken on our arrival & would require to be replaced

Cottage was lovely.

Superb views. Steep steps tho so not good for anyone with disabilities

Everything was utterly perfect for our holiday in Morar.

The house was lovely with spectacular views, really comfortable and toasty warm. Was heaven to come back to it after a long day out exploring this beautiful region. Hopefully we'll return to it ourselves one day and I'll certainly recommend it to friends and family.

The bungalow is very nice , with great views (when available !

) ....unfortunately , our stay co-incided with "STORM ?????? " and there really isn't a great deal to do in this area if the weather is as bad . ps we are LAKE DISTRICT veterans , so used to iffy conditions . None of that was the bungalows fault , however , and we really couldn't fault that .

Beautiful cottage, very well presented and stunning location.

The view from the living room is a huge selling point and we enjoyed the steam train going past. The rooms in the cottage are really generous sizes, neat and clean. Owner's information was very helpful. Would happily book again.

The owner was very welcoming and made it that little bit more special.

Lovely cosy cottage with great views which was a perfect base for exploring the area.

Very close to great coastal walks, the local beaches and Loch Morar. The cottage was spotlessly clean throughout, bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was very well appointed with everything you could possibly need. Would definitely return again in the future.
