Mandy M. Sep 25, 2024 12:42:33 AM

Summary: We were absolutely delighted when we arrived at the cottage. It delivered on wildlife and peace and quiet. The views were absolutely beautiful; we had a great week .

Andy L. Jul 13, 2024 11:20:10 PM

Summary: A superb week exploring the local area and Skye. What made it was the huge array of wildlife on our doorstep and back garden! Porpoises and Sea Otters in the Loch, all manner of shore wading birds, plus loads of garden birds. The best bit is definitely the Pine Martens and Badgers who visit every evening! And keep an eye out for the gorgeous bats who pay a visit too. The house is absolutely perfect, everything you can possibly need, plus a wee bottle of Whisky to enjoy. 10/10 for us, thank you for everything Paula!

Summary: This cottage is in a stunning located, surrounded by mountains and next to a sea Loch. Only stayed for a week but I wish it had been for longer. Brilliant place for wildlife, seeing Pine marten, badgers, bats, porpoise and seal and many birds. The cottage was very clean, cosy and spacious with plenty of windows for natural lighting. Paula, the owner was such a lovely person and made sure we had everything we needed. I will be returning next year.

Karen S. Jun 26, 2024 04:24:56 PM

Summary: The cottage has everything you need and the views with are stunning! The evening arrival of a Pine Marten and a badger added to its magic and there are so many garden birds to watch from the kitchen window. The cottage is placed so that you can access a great latte at Chocolates of Glenshiel or drive to Glenelg and experience a great pub but it is quiet and remote. We enjoyed plenty of walking despite mixed weather and loved discovering the beauty of 'the Ring of Bright Water' Sandaig. Paula and her husband were responsive and helpful hosts even when the heating failed (one of those things that happens to us all!) They were great!

Jane R. Jun 10, 2024 05:48:17 AM

Summary: Spacious cottage with everything you need. Bedrooms spread apart which we liked. Small garden to the back which is enclosed but does have steps. Also steps up to the main entrance. Cottage was warm and inviting but a little tired in decoration. It overlooks a loch so fabulous location about a 30 minute drive from the Skye bridge. Owner good communicator and helpful.

Debbie v. Jun 2, 2024 02:10:30 AM

Summary: Saraig is a hidden gem, in a lovely quiet part of the Highlands. The loch views are beyond description. Highly recommend a loch swim if you’re feeling brave (and have a wetsuit!). The house itself is full of character and with every possible home comfort. Plenty of places to visit nearby, easy to get to local amenities, restaurants etc. Top tip: if you can afford to buy a trail camera (around £50), you will capture some amazing footage of the pine martens and badgers in the garden at night! Thank you to our hosts, who were so welcoming and helpful. Can’t wait to come back!

Sarah R. May 7, 2024 09:27:29 PM

Summary: We had the best week in Scotland and will definitely return. The location of the property is fabulous. The scenery and wildlife were amazing. The Pine Martens came every night for the jam butties and eggs we put out for them. We even saw a Golden Eagle flying overhead. Walk down the path towards the Castle and there are seals on the rocks. Paula could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Sorry we could only stay for a week .
