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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!
