About this property

Fabulous House with Stunning Sea Views to Skye. By NTS gardens. Great Privacy.

  • Standing above Lochalsh in its own secluded grounds and surrounded by the National Trust for Scotland woodland gardens. South facing and in a magnificent setting with wonderful views of sea and the mountains of Skye rising to over 1000m. Although extremely private, lying along its own track of around 300m, it is only 3-4 minutes by car to Kyle of Lochalsh which has a railway station (the scenic railway line to Inverness really is world famous!) a bank, shops and an excellent supermarket. There is also a smaller supermarket and Post Office about a mile away. Our garden has a large lawn and is planted with Magnolias and mature species Rhododendrons from Bhutan, China and Nepal and which flower from February until August.
    Doubled glazed with fitted carpets throughout; night storage heating and wood/coal burning stoves; both off-peak and instant electric hot water. If you want to keep in touch, we offer free Fast Fibre Wireless broad band WiFi. It is a wonderful location with great privacy. The skies above us in winter are ink-black and intoxicating - perfect for star-gazing! (when did you last see the Milky Way .....?!)

The view from this property was stunning!! This VRBO was clean and comfortable. We loved being tucked away from the city but still close to Kyle and all of the attractions in the area. We enjoyed many meals sitting at the table looking out over the water. Its a great place to get-away from it all.

This cottage was a bit tricky to find, in spite of the detailed directions given to us, but well worth the moments of confusion. The cottage is very quaint, comfortable and has a wonderful view of the inlet. We really appreciated the list of nearby attractions and restaurants.It was the perfect base for us to explore the surrounding area - especially the Isle of Skye.Anna was very helpful and responsive.

Stayed here 3 nights with my teenage son. Views were incredible, location was wonderful, and the house was very cozy. It is an older house with older facilities but there is a booklet that gives directions for everything and notes around the house to help as well. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit Isle of Skye!

Close to Kyle and Skye with Fabulous Views

The vintage cottage was quite charming. Our family enjoyed the close proximity to Isle of Skye and the tranquility of being nestled in the woods after a full day of exploring. As others have stated - the views were beautiful, even in the rain!Host communications was excellent. They provided clear instructions and a list of things to see and do in the area. Home is close to groceries and dining options. Kitchen is stocked with all of the essentials. Beds are comfortable and extra blankets are available.

Beautiful scenery, property very clean, spacious, cosy.only difficulty for us was the bathroom being on the main floor and bedrooms upstairs as the 4 us over 60 and 2 with mobility issues made it a little hard , otherwise perfect

Great Views and location

This renovated cottage would be best for a family rather than elder adults. We found the stairs daunting and the tub unsafe climbing in and out. All the furnishings are adequate , some updating to the lounge furniture, beds, pillows would certainly enhance the stay. Access to the closet in the second bedroom would help. The one call to the manager was never returned. Once we found our way in, the quiet, peaceful setting was greatly appreciated.

Peaceful, short stay

We only stayed for 3 nights but enjoyed our time. We easily commuted to Skye each day for wonderful hiking, returning to a cozy home by the water. Anna was wonderful, there was an issue with the internet, we didn’t even know was a problem until she reached out with a plan to have it fixed. Before we returned from hiking she had dispatched her local contact to fix the issue. We loved the efforts Anna took to maintain the original feel of the home, while updating where necessary - best shower!!! Thank you for having us.

Beautiful location, dated property.

The location of this property is nothing short of spectacular. The property however was disappointing. The owners have tried to maintain the property in the light of its age but sadly the world has moved on since the 1960's. The downstairs bathroom and toilet are a bit daunting if needed in the middle of the night and the single facility for potentially 6 people required one to form an organised line for ablutions. The kitchen was of its time with the feeling generally was that one had gone back in time. As mentioned the location is wonderful and that does help explain the price but I think a makeover is required and the presence of a toilet upstairs should be considered essential. The owners were really informative about the surrounding area with many suggestions of things to do and visit and where to eat and drink. Perhaps they have tried to maintain the 50's feel and in this I think they have succeeded. The house was in no way damp but there was a musty smell all through the house despite the use of night storage heaters and the log burners. One appreciates that the remote location makes modern facilities such as dish washers and central heating a challenge, however, it would be lovely to have the facilities that matched and complimented the natural surroundings.

A lovely 3 bedroom cottage with lots of original features. It is at the top of a narrow private driveway which we managed easily but it might be a bit tight for a large SUV or people carrier. All the amenities you need for a for a peaceful ,relaxing stay.

Pros: The view is absolutely beautiful and is the highlight of this property. The house itself is charming and full of character, and the heater works well once you figure out how to use it. The property manager was also very responsive and quick to answer questions.Cons: The beds are quite old and uncomfortable. There was no laundry detergent provided, and the information booklet is several years out of date, making it less helpful than expected. We've traveled extensively throughout the UK and Europe and have come to appreciate the small kitchen conveniences many vacation rentals provide such as tea, coffee, cooking oil, and basic spices but none of these were available here. Overall: If you're looking for spectacular views and don't mind sacrificing some comfort and amenities, this property delivers. In our opinion, you're primarily paying for the incredible location and scenery.

Great location, very comfortable cottage! We were 2 couples staying and found it spacious and loved waking up and overlooking the water! Check in is simple, the cottage well equipped and there wasn't anything more we needed. Anna is excellent about communicating and has great suggestions. A short drive to the bridge to Isle of Skye as well!

This was a wonderful place to stay in Balmacara, near Kyle of Lochalsh. The neighbors told us the history of the house. The area was wooded and quiet! I cannot recommend this place highly enough!
