Lovely cottage to get away from it all
This is the 4th time we have stayed at Tigh-na-Camus. It is in a beautiful location and an excellent place to get away from it all and relax. The cottage is very comfortable and has the best sunroom on the front overlooking the water. Will definitely book again.

Very restful holiday
Having holidayed in the Highlands for 50 years in rented accommodation Tigh-na-Camus rates as one of the best, most particularly the wonderful sun room with spectacular views. A great way to unwind was just to sit and take in the great scenery.

Thank you Peter for you comment, "Having holidayed in the Highlands for 50 years in rented accommodation Tigh-na-Camus rates as one of the best" That was really lovely to read. We had a lot of interesting correspondence with Peter prior to their arrival due to storm Babet and the severe flooding down south which meant they couldn't arrive until later. Fortunately for them we ourselves were due to be in Tigh-na-Camus the following week for a wedding. We delayed our own trip to allow them the possibility of some extra days at the end of their holiday. Thank you for leaving Tigh-na-Camus so tidy for us, which was much appreciated and hopefully we will see you again in the sunroom enjoying the view.

You Won't Be Disappointed
When we originally made our choice of which home to stay at on our trip it was based more on location that it was the actual house. Because of that this was likely more house than two of us needed. Even so I would pick Tigh-na-Camus every time even if it was just me. The house has everything you need to be comfortable. The eat-in-kitchen is large and fully stocked with modern appliances and kitchenware. Greatly appreciated the washer and separate dryer. We only used them a couple of times, but really helps when reducing what you need to pack for a two week trip. There are plenty of different areas to relax so you don't feel on top of each other and then of course there is the sunroom. We spent many hours in that space appreciating the stunning views. While we only got to see one seal out on the water, the daily parade of comical sheep kept us entertained. Glenelg itself is a beautiful, somewhat remote village (which we appreciated). The local shop has plenty of options and is very competitively priced given it's the only option for some miles. The Glenelg Inn has wonderful food and the staff are amazing. Plenty of places to walk and fun finding shells and unique rocks on the shoreline. One warning. Midges!!! On our first night we walked to the pub and came back with about 100 midge bites. Wear long clothing and get some midge spray if you plan to be outdoors. The host was very helpful and easy to work with. We will definitely be back. Already miss it.

Thank you Steven for taking the time to write such a lovely long review. It is very much appreciated and we were also so glad to hear that you had a great holiday in Tigh-na-Camus because holidays are just so important. Tigh-na-Camus's kitchen is well stocked with appliances but then EVERY self catering house SHOULD be in my opinion! Hopefully we will see you again in TnC.

A peach of a place in a fabulous location
Having stayed in numerous self catering cottages over many years, this has to be one of the best that we have stayed in! The cottage is in amazing location with wonderful views of the Isle of Skye across the water. The cottage itself was amazing, it had everything that you would ever wish for and more. To add it is well maintained and spotlessly clean which is a credit to Myra the host, who kept very good communications with before, during and also after our stay. I would honestly recommend this property to anyone I know. Myra thank you and we will most definitely becoming back.

We are on our way home from the most wonderful stay in Glenelg. The house is so welcoming and homely with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. We spent two days exploring Skye and a further few days exploring the local brochs and view points, Nevis range gondolas and landmark adventure park. The sunroom of the property is a real feature and we were fortunate enough to see a white tailed eagle on two occasions during the week as well as sea otter and seals on the ferry over to Skye. We Would highly recommend this property to family and friends wishing to explore this beautiful part of Scotland!

Highly recommended house and location
Just a fabulous location, amazing view from the sunroom, good local walks (low and higher hill level), lots of wildlife (including otter and sea-eagle appearances); and the house is a good size for 6 and very well provisioned. We all had a really great week, in spite of some pretty wild and stormy weather. Didn't quite manage the wild swimming over Hogmanay!, but a summer visit would be enticing for this. Also close to Skye in the summer months. Would highly recommend the house and communication with Myra who is very helpful. Thanks from all of us.

We had the loveliest week at Myra’s place, we are the kind of family that likes to cook and there was an incredibly well stocked kitchen with every pan and utensil you could think of. The house is beautifully situated in quiet Glenelg with amazing views from the sun room and everything was immaculately clean on arrival.

Nancy, thank you so much for your very kind words about Tigh-na-Camus and I am really glad that you appreciated the kitchen as well. It is my own personal pet hate in holiday accommodation when you have a poorly stocked kitchen. It is great to go out for meals but equally after a long walk or touring all day its lovely to be able to stay in and relax and with the extra large dining room in Tigh-na-Camus you have a bit more space to sit around the table to chat & unwind after your day.

Cottage was beautiful and clean with everything provided and a location to die for. We spent a lot of the week staring at the water from the conservatory window willing the dolphins to pay a visit however it must have been their week off too! We did finally get to see them in Oban so all is not lost. Visited lots of places and saw some wonderful sights , highland cows were very special as I just love them. Long drive ,9 miles each way, from the main road over the hills to the cottage but the views are spectacular.

I was so pleased to read that Pauline and her sister had such a good week after their nightmare journey to TnC due to a horrendous accident which closed the road to all traffic. I am still looking for the dolphins too but my neighbour watched them for over twenty minutes playing in the bay! But we did see the otter who uses the burn next to us to get to the sea A very big thank you to Pauline for being so kind in how she left TnC, as it was just immaculate. We hope that she will return & see the dolphins.

Fabulous Holiday Location
We had a fabulous time staying in Tigh na Camus 15th - 20th August. The location was sublime and we were very fortunate to have glorious sunshine, high temperatures and flat calm conditions. We launched our canoe and paddleboard just a few steps from the garden gate each day and had a great time on the water being watched by seals and enjoying the lovely beach which was never busy. We didn't use the lounge at all, as we spent our down time relaxing time in the sunroom at the front of the cottage watching the ever changing seascape. We even saw a pod of porpoise swimming past the cottage on our first evening. The locals / neighbours were all extremely friendly and the cottage was very comfortable and well equipped and we had excellent communication from the owner. The ferry to Skye from Glenelg wasn't running due to Covid so we had a drive over the bridge to Kylerhea (the opposite side) on Skye, but to be honest the Glenelg side of the ferry was more accessible and better to view the wildlife. At the turn of the tide each day the water races through the narrows at Kylerhea causing seabirds and seals to have a feeding frenzy which is a sight to see! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return. Thank you very much.

Lovely house with an authentic feel
A lovely spacious house with a stunning view out front. Clean and bright but still with a heart - it feels authentic. Lovely sun room at the front meant the living room barely got used. Well equipped kitchen. Owners were very responsive when there was a minor issue. Do note that there are 4 bedrooms - 2 doubles, 1 twin and a small single........the listing isn't totally clear. Glenelg itself had the essentials. The shop is counter service during Covid so harder to see what it had but seemed to have the basics and more. We had a lovely meal at the pub and next door to it at the BBQ shack.

Thank you Lynne for your very positive review. We get regular feedback that Tigh-na-Camus has a very special feel to it, or as Lynne said, it has a 'heart'. We are also very glad to hear that Lynne and her party had a great week in Tigh-na-Camus. We also found Lynne to be really lovely and a pleasure to deal with and hope to see them again in Tigh-na-Camus. One thing though is that the listing is correct on HomeAway. Tigh-na-Camus has only 3 bedrooms and the maximum amount of guests allowed is 6. The small room that Lynne mentioned is not large enough, 'in our opinion' to be classified as a proper bedroom, as it has no wardrobe, no chest of drawers, no chair etc.

C ottage in Glenelg
A good sized property, on the seashore, so ideal for those who want to kayak. The kitchen is well equipped which is a big bonus, although the local pub is only five minutes walk away. There's plenty of hot water, but we found the shower to be lacking in power. We did not find the heating system easy, primarily because the dials for the timers for some heaters, were small and difficult to read. There was an additional heater in the living room which made it cosy but not in the kitchen. We tried contacting the cleaner over another issue, the lack of dishwasher tablets, but she did not respond so had no one to help resolve the heating. The kitchen was therefore colder than we would have liked. We had fun watching a sheep head butt the latches on the gates to gain access to the garden. She did not succeed at the front, but she did at the back.She gave our dog the shock of his life when he came face to face with her one evening after dark, and he's a border collie! Maybe an elasticated luggage strap or some such device would help to keep her out. The surrounding area is beautiful and we were lucky enough to get a close sighting of a golden eagle. We were caught out by the ferry coming back from Skye as the operators seem to have no way of warning potential passengers at the Broadford end when they are shutting early. It might be worth checking at Glenelg before you set out

We were very pleased that you liked the house and the location right next to the sea so much. Thank you for your 5 star review but we were so upset that you found the heaters confusing and missed the A4 explanation guide on the notice board. It is so unfortunate that our caretaker was also in bed sick with a stomach bug and it was also a shame that the heating wasn't mentioned in your call as I am 100% sure that her husband would have rushed round to help. The water pressure is indeed slightly lower in Glenelg but i always feel the softness of the highland water makes up for it. Our back gate always has a tie rope on it as we are aware of the sheep problem. Unfortunately it seems to have disappeared but a new one has already been purchased to keep the pesky sheep out. We were delighted to hear that you got a close sighting of a Golden Eagle, they really are so beautiful and BIG. Thank you again for your five star review. Kind regards Myra

Very pleased to hear that you found Tigh-na-Camus excellent and had a great holiday. Sorry to hear that you missed the hairdryer as it is always stored in the unit in the dinning room to enable everyone to access it. Downstairs bedroom as well as the upstairs ones.

Superb, could not be better.
This house is as described and more, I would give my right arm to live in Glenelg in this house. We all had a fantastic time, the house had every available amenity and was beautifully clean and fresh. We really could not have expected more, even the internet was useable! The location, as always, is idyllic in Glenelg and just a short walk from the lovely Inn. We've stayed in three houses in this area over the last 2 years and this is by far the best. Thank you for having us, hope to stay again soon.

Great place for a holiday
This house is fab. Clean, tidy and warm. Great sunroom on the front where we spent most of our time. Beds comfy and kitchen well stocked with everything you might need, even a slow cooker! Location is also wonderful, looking across to Skye and also down the sound. Also a bonus of a decent size garden which we got to use as it was sunny whilst we stayed!

Tigh-na-Camus had everything you need for a relaxing holiday.
Tigh-na-Camus was very clean,warm and beautifully presented. Lovely sized kitchen which was well equipped with everything we needed. In the evenings, after a visit to the glenelg pub, which is a five minute walk away, we sat in the sun room looking over to Skye until dark, it's a beautiful view. We will be coming back to Tigh-na-Camus and will highly recommend it.

Comfortable place in a beautiful location.
Great house in a beautiful location, we were very comfortable, views from the sun lounge were stupendous. The waterway between the shore and the Isle of Skye was lively and interesting, the village was friendly and relaxed, the area offers a lot of interest. The local Inn provides great food, great beer, live music and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the village shops caters for all basic needs. The only anomaly was the lack of bath towels, it does say in the property description that 'only hand towels are provided' however this is so unusual , in my experiance, that it did not penetrate. Suggest that this is made more obvious in some way. However we managed and reccommend this property wholeheartedly.

Idyllic location - stunning stunning views
Great time had by us all during our stay - four adults and our dogs. The cottage is an ideal base for exploring the Scottish Highlands. It was lovely to wake up and go to sleep listening to the water lapping in the Loch. The kitchen was well stocked with cutlery, crockery and lots of cooking essentials. We ventured to Skye a couple of time using the Glenelg to Skye Ferry - some spectacular scenary. Lovely meals in the Glenel Inn. Would highly recommend and would visit the cottage again when visiting the Scottish Highlands.

Property was spacious and well-equipped. Only disappointment was no provision of bath towels.
A magnificent week; Mediterranean weather (30 degrees); great wildlife; good food in local Inn; wonderful boat trips out to Canna.

excellent holiday
We had a beautiful house with stunning views in the village of Glenelg, we used the ferry when we went to skye, we also visited the tea hut at the very end of the road which was a nice little run. We had great weather which also made the places we visited even more beautiful. will definetely be back

Amazing location
We stayed for a week in April with our little dog, the weather was mixed but plenty of sunshine, we saw Golden Eagles, White Tailed Eagles, Porpoises and Otters. The cottage has everything you could need and whilst we had a problem when we arrived it was sorted out very quickly by Myra who couldn’t have been more helpful. The sun room is just the place to sit and watch the wildlife we spent most of our time in there. If you want a holiday away from it all with fantastic views this is the place for you. Thanks to Myra for such a quick response

Fabulous location with everything you could need
This was not our first time in Glenelg but it won't be our last either. We had forgotten how wonderful the views are over to Skye. The house is well equipped and has a lovely view over the water to Skye. The kitchen now boasts an induction hob with lovely new pots and pans too. It was really nice to use. The bedrooms are nice and comfortable as is the lounge. We ate in the kitchen so didn't use the dining room. Great house and not too far from the Glenelg Inn !

Thank you so much for your kind words and we are really pleased that you loved your holiday in Tigh-na-Camus. Gillian and family were super guests and left the house in a very good condition and we look forward to welcoming them back another time.

An absolute jewel of a house! We felt comfortable and at home as soon as we entered.
I wanted a few days of peace and tranquility, but what I got was SO much more!! This house is a real find, actually larger then I thought and situated directly next to the seashore in a wonderful location overlooking the Isle of Skye. the large bright kitchen, dining room and the lounge were comfortable and well equipped but the jewel of this house is the sun lounge! From here one has a wonderful, unrestricted and breathtaking view of the Isle of Skye. It was an absolute delight to get up, enjoy a coffee in the sun lounge whilst watching the sun rise or relax in the evening and watch it set. We also found the contact with the owner to be very positive as we had some questions. which were very swiftly and satisfactorily answered. My only regret was that we hadn't booked a longer stay, however, I am already planning another, longer visit to this lovely house.

a cosy home at the sea
A very cosy home at the sea. A great view to the Isle of Skye - forever changing with the weather. We much enjoyed the Glenelg Ferry, watched sea otters and seals, got friendly with some of the sheep, did some hiking in the neighborhood and on the Isle... It's a great place to be!

Thank you for the very detailed 5 star review as it is always great to hear what our visitors enjoy while in Tigh-na-Camus. What contact we had through WhatsApp was very positive & thank you both for how beautifully tidy Tigh-na-Camus was left.

Ein sehr gemütliches Ferienhaus in einer traumhaften Kulisse
Wir haben uns in dem gemütlichen und mit Liebe eingerichteten Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Unsere Gastgeberin Myra war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der gemütliche Wintergarten versüßt einem die Regentage, von hier hat man einen tollen Blick auf das Meer und die Insel Sky

Geniales Haus um Schottland zu genießen
Tolles Haus mit vielen Zimmern und absolut genialer Sicht auf Sky. Ein bisschen abgelegen (nächster Supermarkt ~20Km weg) aber das macht auch den Charm aus! Ideal für jeden, der nicht die großen Attraktionen in Schottland sucht, sondern das Ursprüngliche und die "kleinen" Details. Was nehmen meine Kinder mit: eine Irre kleine Fähre auf Sky, die von Hand gedreht wird,, ein total verrückter "Single Track" auf Sky, auf dem das Auto zweimal aufgesetzt hat, Tümmler, die man vom Haus aus sehen kann, ein knallroter Seestern am Strand, Robben in freier Wildbahn, ein kleiner "Tante-Emma-Laden", der so groß ist wie die Kinderzimmer und im Angebot an gute alte DDR-Tage erinnert, das kleine Caffee im Ort geführt von zwei jungen Damen, die für einen Spottpreis einfach super Essen in der Umkleide einer alter Turnhalle anbieten und natürlich allgegenwärtig der recht eigenartige Humor der Schotten. Mallorca ist bestimmt viel spannender .... Also wir planen wieder unseren nächsten Urlaub in Schottland und hoffentlich klappt das wieder mit diesem Haus.

Empfehlenswert
geräumiges, sauberes und sehr gut ausgestattetes Haus, super Lage mit Blick auf Skye, in der Nähe alte Drehfähre nach Skye mit freundlichem Team, guter Ausgangspunkt für Entdeckung von Skye, coole Kneipe (Glenelg Inn), Hielan Coos drumherum auf Weiden, auch für Familie super geeignet
