Seaview Cottage, Glenelg, Ross-shire, Scotland

This large holiday house is in an idyllic situation with the most fabulous views towards the Isle of Skye. It is perfect for 2 families on holiday together as it sleeps 10, with 4 bedrooms. Glenelg has a population of about 300, and is set in a very tranquil and peaceful part of Scotland with breathtaking scenery. Situated on the mainland, opposite the Isle of Skye, and an ideal base from which to explore the west coast. The local ferry over the sea to Skye is 3 miles away, or the bridge (now free of tolls) is 17 miles away. There is an abundance of walks of various levels nearby: from a 5-minute walk to the local shop or inn; along the coast or glen; and hill walking from gentle walks to the Five Sisters of Kintail. There are many other activities in the surrounding area including excellent fishing. Of historic interest are the Pictish Brochs, General Wade's barracks, and Sandaig (where Gavin Maxwell lived with his otters) and from which the film Ring of Bright Water was made.

Glenelg is a unique place where people return to year after year: because of the tranquillity, friendliness of the locals and the reknowned Glenelg Inn. The nearby beaches are stunning and children will enjoy a traditional seaside holiday - and perhaps view dolphins or whales from the sandy beaches. This is one of Scotland's special, hidden places.

A wonderful remote cottage for a holiday by the sea on the beautiful west coast of Scotland.
