There was nothing not to like, everything was literally perfect!!!

Location is incredibly good. Peaceful and quiet. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Sparkling and comfortable flat. Very comfortable beds and good equipped kitchen. Perfect place for relaxing and rest. Highly recommended!

Very comfortable accomodation. Excellent facilities. The "private beach" is amazing and vast.

The Apartment was beautiful with everything we could possibly need. Beds super comfy, but location was the absolute icing on the cake. Tranquility, breathtaking scenery and private beach - such a treat! Mark and Maria were lovely hosts.

The cottage was in a great location. It was spotless and had everything you needed and more. The views from the cottage were spectacular and waking up to them in the morning was amazing. Wifi signal was great if needed. The rooms were cosy and a great size. Only wish it hadn't been as wet but it didn't spoil our stay.

Very comfortable accommodation with everything you would need for a short or extended stay.

Very comfortable, Mark and Maria very nice and relaxed. Lovely views from the accommodation. Absolutely ideal for a quiet relaxing break. Also excellent for walkers, hikers, beach comers, and very good value.

The loft apartment is very well decorated and furnished. The owners live below and are on hand if you want any assistance, but are not at all intrusive. The location is very rural and peaceful with spectacular views. We loved the museum at Gairloch and would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely location, very quiet and peaceful. Very relaxing. Friendly hosts.ba

Everything. Both Mark and Maria were super friendly. The apartment was everything we could have wanted. The three cats were sweet. Will miss walking up to the amazing views and sound of sheep!

- When is the best time to visit your property for the perfect beach holiday?Difficult to say really - probably May/June, which is when we tend to have some nice sunny weather and also it is too early for midges (not that they are generally an issue on beaches). Having said that this is Scotland and the weather is unpredictable - we have had glorious days earlier in the year, and also in July / August. You never can tell!Answered on 10 September 2019
- Sorry to ask probably a silly question, but is the “apartment” the whole building in the 21st picture or does the property comprise of multiple flats?The apartment is the whole of the first floor of the building. We live on the ground floor of the building. The apartment has it's own entrance separate from ours, which leads to a staircase up to the first floor.Answered on 14 October 2022
- We are looking for a place where we are more likely to see the northern lights in the November time. Is this location a good place for that?.We have seen the northern lights from here on numerous occasions but they are extremely unpredictable, and so it is most likely that you would not see them at all. I suggest the most likely place in the UK would be the northern tip of Lewis.Answered on 29 August 2021
- We have no place to leave our new puppy. Could you please make an exception so that we could take care responsibly.Very sorry but we cannot accept guest's dogs at all on the site.Answered on 17 January 2021
- Do you accept pets ?We do not accept pets I'm afraid.Answered on 4 July 2021
