About this property

Stunning Individually Designed Property On Shore In The Village Of Glenelg

Our house is called Solas, which in Gaelic means solace, comfort. It is a fantastic 2 bedroom house constructed at the end of 2009, situated beside the shore in the village of Glenelg. Glass screens downstairs with atrium above are a feature of the house and allow wonderful views across the Sound of Sleat and to the Isle of Skye. Ground floor is open plan with living area to one side of the central staircase and dining/kitchen to the other. The luxury bespoke kitchen includes a 5 ring combination gas/electric Lacanche cooker, American fridge freezer with ice/water facilities and dishwasher. There is a separate utility/boot room to the back of the house with washing machine and tumble dryer. The sitting room has a Jotul stove, TV/Freeview/ DVD player and has a good selection of books, local maps and DVDs. Free Wifi. The nearby Glenelg Inn offers lunches and dinners with a great menu in both its atmospheric bar and separate dining room; try the Shore Cafe at the Glenelg Ferry station for a selection of delicious homemade cakes and savoury snacks. Do your shopping locally at the wonderful Glenelg Shop. Horse riding and boat trips available nearby, kayaking in the village of Plockton.
We welcome well-behaved pets.

Beautiful Location

Loved the style of the property, plenty of space, nice enclosed garden. Spectacular views across to Skye. Just needing a bit of tlc, chipped cups and plates, gutter hanging off the and one dripping at the back door. Need new seating in the living room, its not comfortable and outdated. But saying all that it is a great place to relax and escape city life.

FANTASTIC VIEWS AND PLACE

We loved this place - right opposite the sea and with amazing view of Skye from nearly every window. Friendly village- especially the shop. Loads of parking. House had a nice woodburner, good bathrooms and everything you need in the kitchen. The house was warm and cosy even in a storm. Really lovely get away. Will hope to visit again when the ferry is on and the pub is open (from April onwards I think)

Beautiful lochside chalet

Beautiful accommodation and location. Well equipped house, which needed a little decorating. The house was warm and cosy. We loved the drive over the pass down to Glenelg. The lock and view of Skye were spectacular. I loved watching the seals just off shore.

Such a beautiful place to stay

This was our 3rd visit to this house and Glenelg - we love it! Gorgeous house with everything you could need. The local pub is well worth a visit - especially the Sunday lunch, very dog friendly and lovely staff. The local shop is well stocked - not open on a Sunday so take some milk and some dinner for when you arrive Glenelg is beautiful, remote and quiet.

Honest review

We have stayed in many holiday homes throughout the UK and consider we are experienced in this subject to comment. Great location, pub was great (and very friendly). Scenery was amazing.Overall cleanliness needs improvement, including kitchen cupboards (put us off using pots & pans, especially with no dishwasher).Seating in lounge is extremely uncomfortable Back door does not lock Fire wasn’t cleaned out and no papers or kindling to light the fire ( the shop was closed), the firefighter didn’t work.Dishwasher didn’t work on any cycle

What a nice place to stay! The water is on the other side of the road and you can walk alongside the water and enjoy the view. The house is great with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a very spacious kitchen.

The property is very much as attractive and comfortable as shown on the photographs. Views of the sea could be improved by some taming of gorse bushes in front of the property, but lovely regardless. Within walking distance of the Glenelg Inn.

Why they chose this property

As a family, we fell in love with this house while holidaying in Glenelg. We bought it in 2012 and have been renting it out since 2013. In the summer, we recommend sitting on the beach and read a book, canoeing in Plockton, going to the cinema in Portree; during autumn and winter, you can spend most of the day near the fire watching the world go by. Enjoy the open plan kitchen/dining room/living room, which brings everyone together and is great for entertaining!
