A Perfect location away from the madding crowd, (Really!).
We arrived in the evening during storm Isha to a proper Hooley! But this did not dishearten us as the location and property were perfect. Located by the shore in Glenelg, we enjoyed the windy peace and quiet, only to be expected in January.
The property was cozy and well appointed with a washing machine & tumble dryer. (The tumble dryer is a condensing one so be aware and empty the water tank!). The kitchen was great with all the normal equipment.
We could not have wanted for a better place to stay.
There is a local shop within 1/4 of a mile for provisions and a pub. Unfortunately the was closed but probably it was just the time of year.
We stayed for 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed everyone of them.
A lovely retreat where we could re-charge our batteries, if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life, this is the place.
Would we come again? Most certainly!
Thank you.

Due to weather our itinerary changed so arrived in Glenelg earlier than expected
Attempted to contact owner to check if possible to check-in early, did not manage to get in touch so spent a pleasant hour in the Glenelg Inn
Got to property about 3pm and found the keys as described
The property is absolutely stunning, felt warm and welcoming and a fabulous location
Had a great few days exploring the area even with the attention from Storm Agnes
Thank you for letting us use your lovely home

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.
