Beachfront holiday rental in Highland Council

This is one of those Airbnb that deserve six stars. The pictures in the listing don’t do it justice. It sits on a hill above the sea such that all you see out the windows is water and mountains. They converted what had been a garage into a cozy, living, eating, and sleeping space. Everything is so well built and there is so much attention to detail that you feel like you are in a much larger space. There’s nothing that hasn’t been well thought out and designed. And Andy and Jenny are such warm and friendly people you immediately feel like you’re part of the family. I could go on and on, but I will leave it there and simply say I highly recommend it.

Great place to stay. Perfect location with walking trails, a beautiful beach, and a great little restaurant all minutes walk from your front door. Our host was wonderful and extremely helpful during our stay. 100% reccomend staying here.

Pictures of the view from the main living room/dining room was what drew me to the property and the reality did not disappoint. The house was very homely, comfortable and Isabella was friendly and accommodating. I especially appreciated that there was plenty of comfortable seating for the number of people the house can accommodate to sleep. The dishwasher did not work during our visit which was an inconvenience as we were a large family group who cooked regularly during our visit, so clearing up took significantly more time than we would have liked, but once Isabella was made aware, she did not hesitate to get it seen to as soon as possible. Unfortunately it could not be repaired during our visit but I cannot fault Isabella's reponse to the situation, it was just unfortunate. I would definitely recommend the property; it is clear a lot of thought has gone into the property to make it as comfortable as possible for guest. Thank you.

Our third stay in this wonderful house . Homely and cosy with a great log burner and everything you need . Stunning views and great access to the beautiful north coast . Bring a head torch if you arrive after dark . Logs are available at Bettyhill cafe and the Wee Shop on the way to Thurso . Can’t recommend highly enough as a great ‘getaway from it all ‘ place to relax and unwind .

The Oystercatcher is a truly special place - we loved the quiet location and the beautiful views. It was a perfect place to base ourselves for a few days of walking. The accommodation itself is perfect - every amenity necessary was provided. We especially liked the welcome pack with breakfast items including milk and orange juice - a lovely touch. Mags has thought of everything - thank you. We would definitely stay again if visiting Skye.

The location was perfect. It’s quite hard to find a place if you don’t make reservations in advance (even in April) so keep that in mind. The place was lovely. And Fiona was very responsive.

Ideal studio apartment for a holiday break. Everything had been thought of by Katie. It was clean and tidy and well equipped. Katie even provided the view! Stunning location - it sits directly opposite and very close to the harbour where there is lots of activity. A perfect place to stay.

Lovely few days away very relaxing Charlette was a great host. We hope to go back sometime.

My wife and our 2 little boys stayed at Gemma’s place for 3 nights. Instructions were great, check-in was easy, the place was spotless and within 50m walk of the beach. Helpfully, all of the things that you need for a short stay but don’t wish to buy especially were also there (eg buckets and spades, dishwasher tablets, toilet rolls, olive oil, soap, tea coffee etc) a great stay - thank you!

We enjoy this cottage so much that this is the 3rd time we have been. The perfect place to relax.

We had a wonderful stay at Jennifer’s caravan. The place was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the area. Jennifer was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and always happy to help. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely book again in the future!

Beautiful location and gorgeous surroundings to explore - Achmelvich beach not to be missed

A beautifully kitted out caravan which was spotless throughout. Lots of local info, right on the beach. All information was sent in advance and any additional questions were answered quickly. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back again next year!

There was nothing i didn‘t like

Sarah was a fantastic host and really friendly. She kindly delivered new garden furniture which was really appreciated given the lovely weather. A great caravan with everything you need.

Lovely stay at Shirley’s lodge. Caravan was really clean, beds super comfy and lots of games was a bonus. Great to have the bath, washing machine and dishwasher. Place was spotless and loved the decor. One row back from the beach and huge bit of grass at the front for the kids. Great communication from Shirley and we all had a fab time

We have stayed in this property before - it is very well maintained - easy to get to and parking. The location looking out to the sea one side and the marina the other is idillic. Kevin is a great host - highly recommend if you are that end of the country. Highly recommended

Last minute get away, the pod it’s self was absolutely beautiful, warm and well equipped. Easy check in, the private hot tub was a lovely. Shower wasn’t that powerful but it absolutely did the job! Check the safety information if you are allergic to horses. 🫣 it does state that there will be horses close (I clearly didn’t check this before booking, ooops) Although they were no problem at all!! They were far enough away from the pod apart from a blink in the morning so it was absolutely no issue for us really. Overall it is a beautiful place and we highly recommend staying here!! Thanks for a brilliant stay! xx

Beautiful and homely cottage in a stunning setting. We saw highland cows, seals, hares and of course sheep, practically right on the doorstep. So quiet and peaceful, with amazing views at all times of day/ no matter the weather. Cally was an amazing host and always very helpful and easy to talk to. We loved meeting her dogs too!

I booked Lisa & Kenneth’s yurt as accommodation for my wedding Photographer Kevin, so in full disclosure I didn’t stay there myself. But the communication and information I received from Lisa & Kenneth was great. Kenneth even went above & beyond, staying up late to welcome Kevin and show him around, after Kevin took a detour past Shieldaig up to Ullapool and back, after picking up two lederhosen clad German hitchhiking Carpenters! 🙈🤣 Kevin did say that he loved the yurt, that he’d definitely stay there again and he throughly recommended that my wife & I stay there the next time we’re heading up to the area.

What a lovely place! Surrounded by nature, it was the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect. The views from every window were stunning, and the peaceful setting made it easy to relax. The property itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Sarah was kind and responsive, making the whole experience smooth and welcoming. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and her warm hospitality really stood out. We’d love to return.

A brilliant spot outside of Fort William, easy to find and a stunning view of the lock and local mountains. Great shower, always warm, everything we needed for a few nights stay. Would definitely recommend!

A perfect weekend break ! Despite the rain, it was wonderful. The location on the shore is idyllic and our retriever was never out of the sea - until the tide went out ! We saw seals a few times which was lovely. The bothy is really well equipped and has everything you need for cooking and staying warm. The solar inside lights were super efficient and lasted all evening and we cooked a whole (delicious) chicken, bought from the farm in the oven. Dave and Alison are wonderful hosts. The island cafe is the perfect refuge from the rain for soup, hot sandwiches and lovely cakes. As advised on the listing, if possible, take wellies. We would love to come back !

We had an amazing stay at Ann’s pod. It is in a great location with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed for 3 nights, one night we walked into Mallaig for dinner and the other two we used the facilities in the pod to cook including the barbecue on the balcony. The view from the balcony is amazing and the hot tub is great to relax in. The pod is well located and is in walkable distance to a lovely beach. Would highly recommend a stay here.
