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.

We were unable to stay, the only entrance door was unsafe. It had to be kicked open and was extremely difficult to lock, practically impossible.House keeper told me that it had been a problem since being fitted earlier in the year and they could not get anyone out due to being 2 days before Christmas.Owner refunded the rent immediately but VRBO have not refunded the booking fee

Fabulous views and wildlife

The cottage location is perfect it’s well equipped and homely. Would prefer more comfortable seating in the lounge area and more attention to cleaning especially cobwebs above stairs and bathroom window. We saw minke whale, seals and white tailed eagle from the cottage!Would not hesitate to stay again.

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.

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)

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!
