Absolutely beautiful
Its just exactly as advertised. Four on-suite double bedrooms and another room that comfortably has a double bed. Spectacular views over the Loch, seen an otter one morning going about its business just by the shore next to the house. House very well equipped and clean, great showers and a bath in the downstairs double room. So much to see and do around the area, property is in a woodland with walks marked out. Just cant recomend this holiday home enouhg.

It was hard to leave...
After a windy day and trying driving in the highlands, there was no better feeling than sitting on the sofa, fire burning, gazing out at the light and wind dancing on the sound as the sky dims -- a perfect house for a perfect holiday.

Wonderful stay right by the Loch!
What a fantastic property in a stunning location. This stay exceeded all our expectations, and the real game-changer was each bedroom having an ensuite bathroom! We also saw dolphins and seals in the water from the living room window. A real gem of a place. Thanks again Colin!

superb property with outstanding views
We loved this holiday and everyone said it was the best place we'd stayed as a 3 generation family. We really appreciated having 4 very comfortable bedrooms, well soundproofed from each other and all ensuite. It's hard to find large, quality double beds in all rooms so this was perfect for us. The whole house was cosy and there was plenty of hot water. We made good use of the lovely, large dining table and loved the views both from living rooms and bedrooms. The location worked really well, being able to walk through local woodlands and drive easily to Coral Beach, Plockton, Eilean Donan Castle and across for day trips to Skye to enjoy walks. Having chosen to eat at home most days (we had two young children) the only criticism was the poor state of the 'non-stick' cookware which we avoided using, making cooking for 8 of us a bit tricky - in fact we bought our own frying pan! Apart from that the kitchen was very well stocked. Many thanks for the best holiday and we hope to be back!

The West Highlands at their very best
Perfect location, waking up and looking out at the views every day was a joy - we saw otters twice from the lounge window! Location is tranquil and quiet, but not remote - 5 min drive to Lochalsh for a decent co-op with a great range. 10 mins and you're over the bridge and onto Skye. The rooms were spacious, kitchen well set out and standard of decor was superb. If I could find one tiny criticism, it would be the water pressure, but given this is a rural location, Im not sure anything could be done to improve it. I would highly recommend and hopefully will be staying there again in the future.

Lovely house in a superb location.
The house is beautifully furnished and decorated and well appointed, giving us a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Comfy beds, apart from the sofa bed in the study, which we needed to use due to the size of our family group. The sofa bed needs a proper mattress and efforts could be made to make the study more attractive as a sleeping space. The views are stunning and the location, just minutes away from Skye, was perfect. The local walks in the woods were beautiful and allowed us to take our dogs out without getting in the car every time. We had a few issues with the heating, but a quick phone call had these resolved instantly. The only other small negative was some dirty plates and a dirty pan in the cupboards. This is probably due to there being a very large amount of crockery in the cupboards and I assume the cleaners don't check all the way through it. It was only a small inconvenience to wash these items before use, but not ideal. Overall, a very lovely place to stay.

One of the best houses we’ve stayed in.
Gorgeous views, well stocked kitchen (the best stocked in over 30 years of visiting Scotland), great access to Skye, good dark sky location (we were lucky with the weather and had very clear skies on our last night).. There were 8 of us in our party and there was plenty of space for everyone. Would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic house
This house is a perfect base for exploring Skye. The house is better than it looks in the photos, total luxury. The location is amazing, we regularly saw dolphins from the window, the bay is good for paddle boarding with very clear water, and parking right by the beach for unloading all your gear, and local services in Kyle of Lochalsh are only 5 minutes away. The woods behind the house are beautiful and perfect for dog walking.

Beautiful house - perfect holiday base
Great house and wonderful views. Took my 95 year old dad and the downstairs bedroom and en-suite were perfect for him - not advertised as for disabled so no grab bars but large enough for him to use his mobility aid and we brought a seat for the shower. The rest of the house was superb with comfy beds, great linen and wonderful views. Best equipped kitchen for any holiday house!

Spectacular views from a spectacular house!
We were blown away by this superlative house on the edge of the loch. The views from the front of the house are breathtaking. The location is perfect, allowing you to explore the areas around Kyle and giving you easy and quick access to the Isle of Skye. But the views and location are not the only positives of this house. It is beautifully designed, tastefully decorated and full of absolutely everything you would need for your holiday: from the good quality sharp knives in the kitchen (and every other utensil you might need); to the super comfortable beds and bed linens in the bedrooms; to the underfloor heating in the 4 bathrooms (so cozy!); to the light and airy communal spaces; to the….well, the list goes on and on. Colin was a great host, replying immediately to any questions we might have. We were 9 adults and teenagers in total, and we had loads of space. We can’t wait to come back!

Just a good as last time
It was almost four years to the day since we last stayed at Lochalsh Lodge and it was every bit as good as we remembered it. The house is spacious with lots of storage space for coats and boots in the hallway. The kitchen is very well equipped and the bedrooms were all good sized with clean, modern en-suites. Even although we did not get the best of weather every day the views out the french doors in the lounge are good for the soul and we had a really relaxing stay.
