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.

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 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 Need new seating in the living room, its not comfortable and outdated.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.

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.

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.

Lovely modern property in a stunning location. A few small things that need attending to but probably most important is to fix the back door which doesnt lock

Great place to stay

Everything on arrival was as described and we were more than pleased with the house. Photos don’t actually give it justice and was very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Lovely location and would have spent more time in Glenelg if weather had been a bit more accommodating. Would definitely use this house again hopefully when weather may be a bit more on our side and it is North West Scotland so nothing is promised.

Lovely stay

A lovely holiday home in a beautiful setting and a 40min drive to the Skye bridge. The house was peaceful and spacious. We cooked in most nights and enjoyed the huge selection of board games! The private garden with picnic table was a pleasant surprise. The beds were comfy and freshly laundered and the bathrooms were spotless- the only shower is in the master en suite. Overall the house was well equipped but in need to a deep clean and a lick of paint. We would stay again if back in the area.

ANOTHER AMAZING WEEK AT SOLAS

Our 3rd year running now at this property and it never fails to satisfy. The location, the open plan nature of the house, the faclities provided are all perfect for us. We love the kitchen with its range cooker and large dining table in front of the stunning views, relaxing in the living room and watching the world go by in front of the log burner in the evenings. Walks form the property are lovely, but most days we're happy just in the local area, getting the kids off the beach is almost impossible, and nly a stones throw from the front door, which allows them a freedom they dont get at home. We'll definitely be back! Thanks to Manuela for allowing us the week, and for being a considerate host.

Interesting house in lovely location

This was our first visit to this area. The property is a smart detached timber clad house by the shore in the pretty village of Glenelg with private garden to rear. Unfortunately views from the ground floor are restricted by gorse bushes opposite. Glenelg Inn is a 5 minute walk and does good food - booking essential. Short drive to ferry to Skye. Good local shop in village. Some of the other holiday properties have better views.

Incredible spot in a lovely house

We spent a week here and seen dolphins, otters and seals on a daily basis which was amazing especially for the kids! The house is fantastic with a properly enclosed garden for the dog and plenty of lawn to play football around. The house was clean and tidy however unfortunately felt a little unloved if we're honest..... doors sticking and not painted, cupboards dusty, no toilet roll holders, damp patches in roof obviously fixed but not repainted etc which was a shame. Despite this we'd still return as the space and the location was excellent!!
