Amazing Place

We had a wonderful time in this amazing location staying in accommodation which in our opinion was fantastic. The house is unique, spacious and very comfortable. The design maximises the idyllic location on the bank of Loch Lundie with views of the loch and surrounding hills. We particularly enjoyed walking to Plockton and around the nearby forest. It was great to relax in the hot tub and admire the scenery. Using the rowing boat to cross the loch was also memorable and fun. We were so impressed that we booked to return in 2026 whilst we were there.

One of the best places I have ever had the pleasure to stay in, genuinely a luxurious treat :)

Our work requires that we stay in a lot of hotels and B n B's and after soo many years of doing this we try and book 'better' places ranging in the 4-5* category as constant travel can wear you down. More often than not, especially among the 4* tier the properties don't often live up to expectations. The Sheiling thankfully is not one of those places. It is one of those joyous delights in life that meets and exceeds what you were hoping for. The pictures don't do it justice and even in poor weather the design, layout and ambiance of the place is stunning. We were lucky enough to stay for 2 weeks of which we only had 3 days of bad weather and even then we wish we could have stayed longer. The Sheiling is incredibly private, peaceful and beautifully laid out. Well equipped to a high standard and with well thought out extras such as hot tub, outdoor fire pit, rowing boat and barbecue. The rooms are well heated via and underfloor system and can be independently adjusted to your tastes and fans for when its gets too warm. There is soo much to love about this place, the setting is incredible, the solitude is refreshing and wildflie is stunning (pine martins, eagles and much more). We will definitely return in the future as it is a venue that feels worth the expense and for equivalent prices in the cities you get significantly less. It's also a great location for visitng Skye and a lot of the Western Isles. Martin and Mairi were also lovely and professional hosts and provide just the right level of assistance with whatever you need. If you stay here you will not regret it, other than the fact you wish it was longer :)

Excellent stay in every way

We had an excellent stay at The Sheiling. The property is amazing - location is spectacular, everything about the property is really high-end, and ending each day in the hot tub with those views was just perfect. Lots to do in the surrounding area as well which is an added bonus. Highly recommended.

Wonderful relaxing break

What a beautiful location to enjoy a perfect relaxing break. We were fortunate enough to have glorious sunshine and spent most of the day either on the decking or out on the loch in the rowing boat. This wad our second visit and I was delighted that the Shieling has retained its high standards of comfort. The nightly visits from the pine martin were a joy and the solitude of this beautiful location allows you time to breathe and de stress. I would definitely recommend a stay to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Beautiful house in sublime location

Just returned from a weeklong vacation at the Sheiling, the house is magical in a setting that is fantastic. Our stay was excellent from arriving to find the welcome basket to unfortunately having to leave a week later. The house is very well appointed with great kitchen and bedroom fittings and. brilliant showers. Went out fishing on the loch from the little rowing boat and caught a couple of brown trout and some good sized perch. Hot tub was great to relax in at night after a days fishing. Hosts were very helpful when contacted and we will hope to return next year

Chill out holiday

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sheiling despite the very disappointing weather. 5star accommodation in a 5star location. My husband summed up our stay. Who would have thought I could cast my fishing line from the decking, come back in to a lovely room and watch the Olympics whilst keeping my eye on my line. You have got to make the most of the situation when the weather is rotten!

Living the dream again

The Sheiling is an outstanding build on its very ‘own loch’ with spectacular views in all weather conditions. Martin & Mairi have created a unique and stunning property. Design and quality exceptional, furniture & fittings first class. Decking area with hot tub, barbecue & fire pit great place to relax and chill out. The added bonus of the wee rowing boat to explore the loch just makes this place so special. This was our 4th visit and already booked to return next year. I would highly recommended this accommodation, great base also to explore Plockton & Skye Lived the dream again

Stunning location for peace and privacy

We have wanted to visit The Sheiling since it won Britain's best holiday home award in 2021. It was well worth the wait. The location on Loch Lundie is surrounded by stunning views of the loch, forests and hills. We enjoyed total peace and privacy. There are many places to visit within a short drive. We enjoyed many long walks on Skye and driving our classic car on the quiet highland roads. The house was immaculate and exceptionally well-appointed. We loved our visit to celebrate our silver anniversary and highly recommend The Sheiling.

Return visit..........

This was our second stay at the Sheiling and once again we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We were lucky enough to experience the Northern Lights on the Saturday. This time we were also treated to several visits from the Pine Martens, we counted three different ones, the last being a kit probably one year old, they provided great entertainment. Again we made good use of the BBQ & Hot Tub. The location is fantastic and a great base for exploring the area. Thanks again to Martin & Mairi.

Exceptional accommodation and amazing location

The Sheiling is an amazing find, beautiful setting, great accommodation and the private loch was great for wild swimming, boating and fishing. Plockton is a 5 minute drive away and this picturesque village has a great range of amenities, in particular Plockton Shores which has an excellent of seafood. Now we’ve experienced The Sheiling we will be definitely be back for more.

A Blissful Escape: Our Stay at The Sheiling

What an amazing house and location! There is very little that hasn't been mentioned in previous reviews but this place is an absolute gem. Undoubtedly most people will return again and again - our next visit is already being planned. If the weather plays ball then I can't think of a better place to spend time than on the decking taking in the views or chilling in the hot tub. As an avid fisherman being able to catch wild brown trout is an added bonus. The surrounding area and Skye offer everything that you would expect from the Scottish Highlands. There are plenty of walks right from the doorstep and Plockton is beautiful. All in all the perfect week.

The Sheiling is In a class of its own

Everything about the Sheiling is just beautiful - the unique build, fantastic location and stylish and well equipped interior. Stunning views and peaceful location come as standard here. We loved taking the boat out for a picnic, and relaxing in the hot tub looking at the stars. This was our 2nd visit and we're already planning the 3rd.

Beautiful, Amazing, Heavenly

Martin & Mairi have provided a perfect getaway with the most majestic of settings. The quality of decor is second to none! Impressive kitchen and bathrooms with everything you would ever require. Towels/dish towels/cleaning products - Even down to salt & pepper mills to the cling film in the drawers in the kitchen! The outside decking area boasts relaxing seating with table fire and hot tub but with plenty space and safety in mind for young kids. There is even use of the owners rowing boat with life jackets available. Also a gas bbq which would be amazing in Summer. The location is stunning - it was “blowing’ a hoolie” when we stayed but this didn’t mar our stay in the least. I didn’t get to use the hot tub much but when I did, it was amazing and so relaxing to watch the incredible views - even in the baltic weather! They have thought of everything - from the beautiful welcome pack of wine, chocolates, oatcakes, cheese and milk … to the toiletries, bathrobes, slippers and towels. Those little things mean so much and they are very much appreciated. Communication was excellent and we were made to feel so welcome. We will most definitely be back this Summer… and the Summer after that … Thank you so much.

Wonderful place

We had the best time at the Sheiling. Icy beautiful days, clear starry night skies. We spent evenings in the hot tub pondering the meaning of life!! Feeling very blessed and very small. It’s very well equipped, toasty warm and the shower is fabulous. Stay here. You won’t regret or ever forget it. THANK YOU

An absolute haven of luxury

We loved our weekend at The Sheiling - wish we could have stayed for longer! We loved looking out over the water under the moonlight, relaxing in the hot tub, taking the boat out on the loch, the most amazing showers, and every home comfort you could wish for. We filled our days with walks, cycles, exploring, shopping and eating and we didn't have to travel more than 4 miles in any direction. There are some great local food places with fabulous hospitality. Can highly recommend it to others - families or couples.

Sooper Dooper

We had a lovely stay at The Sheiling. Our expectations were high from having read other reviews and looking at the photos but we were amazed to find we had the loch to ourselves and the house even better than we expected. We arrived after a rather gruelling motor bike ride through wind and rain so to be rewarded with our own piece of heaven was marvellous. If Plockton is the 'jewel of the highlands', The Sheiling must be the crown jewel! We loved the rowing boat, great for exploring the loch but we didn't swim due to the weather - something for next time!

A private lakehouse dream

Definitely the best accommodation we've stayed in; your own loch with no other residence or people in sight, and fantastic views over the loch and surrounding trees which make it such a tranquil and peaceful setting. The house is spectacular, from the hot tub built into the deck to the modern equipment and furnishings, and all the extra touches such as robes and slippers, and welcome pack including wine and cheese. We had a week of all weathers but it was perfect from snuggling up in front of the fire on the cold days to rowing on the lake in their boat on the sunny days! The owners are also fantastic with communication, so we will definitely be staying again and would 100% recommend to others!
