À propos de cet hĂ©bergement

A tranquil, wildlife haven with stunning loch and mountain views - pet friendly.

Set on the shores of Loch Duich, this delightful cottage is one of two, hundred-year-old, forester's cottages and plus a cabin standing in isolation and accessed by a single track road four miles from the A87. Enjoying a high degree of privacy, Saraig offers the best of both worlds basking in peace and quiet yards away from the water's edge, yet is only 25 minutes from the Kyle of Lochalsh which has a supermarket, medical centre, swimming pool and train station.

Within easy driving distance are a couple of restaurants, a welcoming bar, cafés and Kintail Crafts, which apart from being a craft shop, is well stocked with groceries.

Surrounded by mountain and loch, the ever-changing views from this cottage are truly spectacular making it a perfect retreat for those who want to get away from it all. On a clear night, the milky way is visible and in the distance, far enough away not to cause light pollution, the illuminated Eilean Donan Castle shimmers in the dark.

Saraig is perfect for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. It's wildlife-orientated gardens host a huge array of birds, including housemartins and swallows who revisit their nests in the eaves year after year. We supply birdfood and peanuts for all the birds and occasionally fatballs. There are pine martens and badgers, who regularly visit the back garden and are a delight to see. Peanuts are supplied for them. The pine martens also like peanut butter. Their food has to be put on the windowledge the other side of the kitchen table otherwise the badgers eat it all. Any contributions in the form of fatballs and peanut butter sandwiches are gratefully received. Seals, porpoises and otters are sometimes spotted from the lounge window along with a variety of seabirds, herons, divers and waders. Loch Duich is a sea loch and permission to fish it is not needed.

With 22 Munros in the area and miles of coastline, Saraig is perfect for hillwalking and rambling. It is also ideal for cycling, sailing, and touring. Whatever your passion, returning to this warm, welcoming, homely cottage is the perfect end to a perfect day.

There is so much to see and do in the area a week is hardly long enough. Within easy reach is Eilean Donan Castle, the iron age brochs of Glenelg, Attadale and Armadale gardens, the dramatic Falls of Glomach, plus boat trips galore including a glass-bottomed boat trip in Kyle of Lochalsh and Calum's seal trips in Plockton. At certain times of the year there are also whalewatching trips. There is a wide variety of walks from the challenging Five Sisters of Kintail and Saddle to a gentle stroll along the shores of Loch Duich right outside the front gate. Wander through deserted glens, alongside bubbling burns, through dense forest, past cascading waterfalls (numerous after heavy rainfall). The township road Saraig stands on is a very quiet, single track lane which gradually peters out. The walk along the lochside is wonderful, with stunning views, lapping waves and the chance of spotting otters and seals. Herons frequent the area and from time to time eagles, deer and dolphins can be seen.

The interior of this cottage is charming with a log burning stove at its heart. This spacious yet cosy cottage sleeps 6 people over 3 bedrooms - 2 king and 1 twin, two bathrooms, lounge, dining room, kitchen and pantry. The beds are wonderfully comfortable with good quality bedding. All bedrooms enjoy views of the loch.

All in all if you want a relaxing, tranquil holiday then Saraig is ideal for your needs; if you want a holiday packed full of outdoor activities then Saraig is perfect for the job; if you want to visit castles, historic sites, gardens, and tour much of the northwest highlands and islands, then Saraig is the base for you. Finally, if you love wildlife and nature, then Saraig is perfect.

One last note - it is possible to get married anywhere in Scotland including on the beach, and this is precisely what two of Saraig's guests did. With a piper piping the bride from the cottage, it was a fairytale wedding as the sound of the bagpipes echoed around the mountains. The bride herself described it as magical.

Spacious, pet friendly cottage in stunning loch-side location with mountain views

Paula and Rob were the perfect hosts ensuring our stay was as comfortable as possible. The cottage is essentially in two sections, each with its own bathroom & meeting in the kitchen which allows plenty of space for everyone. It was very clean & peaceful with the sound of the birds & loch heard when the windows were open. We were so lucky with the weather, perfect sunshine and clear blue skies for 2 weeks (we have never experienced this in Scotland before!) so we could explore the area from the Brochs in Glenelg to Dunvegan Castle on Skye. Sandaig bay was stunning with white sands and turquoise sea, and from the top of Sgurr an Airgid we could see the Cuillins and 360 clear views of the mountain tops. This is a wonderful place to stay for a fabulous holiday, I would certainly recommend it.

Lovely spot

Really enjoyed our stay here. Nice and cozy. Perfect for us and the dogs. So great to have Pine Martins, a Badger and a vast array of birds outside the kitchen window. My eldest son loved sitting out the front on the bench next to the Loch gazing at the stars. Great stay.

Beautiful location on the shores of Loch Duich. Numerous places a short distance away to visit or go hillwalking, paddleboarding etc. Isle of Skye accessible in around 30 minutes. Property was very peaceful, comfortable and well equipped with a fantastic array of flora and fauna on our doorstep. Would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely location with plenty of wildlife about.

Spacious cottage with everything you need. Bedrooms spread apart which we liked. Small garden to the back which is enclosed but does have steps. Also steps up to the main entrance. Cottage was warm and inviting but a little tired in decoration. It overlooks a loch so fabulous location about a 30 minute drive from the Skye bridge. Owner good communicator and helpful.

Great cottage in a beautiful location

Saraig was a perfect place for our family to spend a week in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. The house was very clean and spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was wonderful! Beautiful veiws of the lake and mountains and close to so many places we wanted to see on our trip. We travelled with 3 kids and there was so much for them to explore in the nearby area and they loved spotting otters and porpoises in the lake. I definitely recommend Saraig if you are looking for a great place in the Highlands.

Perfect cottage in beautiful surroundings

Saraig is a beautiful, clean and very comfortable cottage. Very well equipped. Especially the wood-burner and wifi are excellent. The views of the five sisters of Kintail are stunning and the house is a perfect starting point for many breathtaking hikes. If you love tranquility surrounded by beautiful nature, this place will fit your needs and more.

We had the most wonderful time at Saraig. Within an hour of our arrival we had a pinemarten on the kitchen window sill and two badgers outside the back door. The views over the loch were stunning and the cottage was warm and very well equipped. The beds were amazingly comfortable and the furniture so in keeping with a highland cottage. We will definitely return

Like being on the set of Springwatch!

A superb week exploring the local area and Skye. What made it was the huge array of wildlife on our doorstep and back garden! Porpoises and Sea Otters in the Loch, all manner of shore wading birds, plus loads of garden birds. The best bit is definitely the Pine Martens and Badgers who visit every evening! And keep an eye out for the gorgeous bats who pay a visit too. The house is absolutely perfect, everything you can possibly need, plus a wee bottle of Whisky to enjoy. 10/10 for us, thank you for everything Paula!

We had the best week in Scotland and will definitely return. The location of the property is fabulous. The scenery and wildlife were amazing. The Pine Martens came every night for the jam butties and eggs we put out for them. We even saw a Golden Eagle flying overhead. Walk down the path towards the Castle and there are seals on the rocks. Paula could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Sorry we could only stay for a week .

Excellent cottage in wonderful setting

The cottage is in an idyllic setting, with spectacular views across the Loch. We were blessed with good weather for the time of year, and enjoyed touring the broad area, particularly enjoying Plockton and Wester Ross. The interior is imaginatively and tastefully fitted with all necessary facilities. Anyone visiting the area would find themselves comfortably housed after a day's outdoor activity. An added attraction was the pine marten that visits the garden in the evening!

A wonderful escape to nature

The cottage has everything you need and the views with are stunning! The evening arrival of a Pine Marten and a badger added to its magic and there are so many garden birds to watch from the kitchen window. The cottage is placed so that you can access a great latte at Chocolates of Glenshiel or drive to Glenelg and experience a great pub but it is quiet and remote. We enjoyed plenty of walking despite mixed weather and loved discovering the beauty of 'the Ring of Bright Water' Sandaig. Paula and her husband were responsive and helpful hosts even when the heating failed (one of those things that happens to us all!) They were great!

Saraig, Nov 2023

What a wonderful place! From the most fabulous setting and views, to the peaceful & cosy cottage. We had such a lovely stay after settling in with a very thoughtful welcome package and visits from our inquisitive neighbours the badgers, pine martens & birds. Countless lovely places to visit nearby & further afield on Skye. Great local walks including along the loch to the broch & woodland walks at Balmacara. We can recommend the Dornie Inn (& the Clachan in Summer) for good food locally. Thank you to Paula & Rob for a wonderfully relaxing stay. We hope to stay again.

Image de profil de l’hîte
I have been in the self-catering holiday business in Scotland for over 18 years now and holidayed in Scotland many years before that. I am passionate about the country and its wildlife. As a fellow holiday-maker, it is very important to me that guests have a wonderful holiday. Therefore, I have done everything I can to ensure guests have the best time possible.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

I have been holidaying in Scotland regularly for over thirty years. I particularly love the Glenshiel/Loch Duich area and when I first saw Saraig standing just a few yards from the water's edge in breath-taking surrounds, I fell in love with it even before I ventured inside. Once inside I made up my mind there and then to buy it. It is a property with a strong feeling of history, a very tranquil and homely atmosphere, and incredible views.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

Saraig ticks so many boxes for the holiday-maker; it's in a remote, peaceful location yet not far from the town of Kyle: it's in an area of 22 Munro mountains and countless walks covering all degrees of difficulty: it's sea-lochside, yards from the beach (not a sandy one): it's below a forest with lots of paths for walkers and trails for the mountain biker: it's great for wildlife enthusiasts: it has breath-taking views. Last but not least, it is close to Skye, Plockton, Glenelg, Applecross, Loch Ness and other places too numerous to mention. As mentioned in the description, it is also perfect for small weddings!
