A great property with views to die for! Kay was super helpful and great and speedy with answering queries!House had everything we needed! Local shop excellent! Pub great for night off from the cooking! A wonderful time was had by all! A lovely remote getaway with amazing mountains and hills! Just be careful of the ticks when walking through bracken and long grass! Ticks and Midges... A small price to pay for such a lovely time in the Highlands!Thanks Kay!

Great beach walks and trips over to Skye on the Ferry. A lovely shop and pub in the village - and even a nearby brewery, which we visited a few times too. Plenty of Cycling/ paddle boarding done - and loads of wildlife to see. We will definitely go back.

My family and I spent 5 nights at this beautiful house.The location is lovely with amazing views across to Isle of Skye.From booking to check in the experience was good as the host responded to messages quickly through the website. Facilities within the property are good with lots of extras for families with small children The village itself has a small shop and a local pub. I would highly recommend having dinner at the pub, food is really good.Ferry trip over to Skye was also a really interesting experience.

We love this property. It is a great space for sharing with family and friends. Fabulous views over to Skye and close to the pub. What more can you want ? Great facilities. Laundry room and a huge boot room at the entrance so plenty of room for jackets and walking boots etc. Four good size bedrooms and a downstairs lounge. Upstairs is such a wonderful space and it really makes the property a great place to be. Good communication with the owner which always helps.

We found An Gearasdan to be a wonderfully comfortable, warm and modern house. In the most stunning location with views from the house both restful and inspiring. Lovely walks locally and fabulous scenic drives when venturing further afield.

We booked this house for our friends and then our family to stay in for our wedding in Glenelg. Everyone was really happy with the accommodation and facilities. The views are incredible and the things provided are very thoughtful and give you everything you need for a stay in the area.

We have stayed in An Gearasdan on a number of occasions and have been visiting Glenelg for over 24 years. The property is lovely, very well set out and perfect for groups and a couple of dogs. The view down the sound is spectacular and the locals are lovely. We cannot fault the house or location and hope to return for many more years.

Our fourth stay here and we just love it. The scenery and tranquility is fantastic. The house itself offers everything we could need and the local pub is so close. We did some paddle boarding this year which was new to some of us. Apart from that we did some walking, geo-cashing -again, new for some of us - and general lazing about. Another great week and next year to look forward to !

The property is perfectly situated in the wonderful village of Glenelg. Well fitted out with all your needs covered . My only suggestion would be a 4 slot toaster, not 2 , considering the property sleeps 8! Wonderful upside down house, amazing views and a wonderful living space icorporating, kitchen, dining and lounge with lovely log burner. Ample parking and amazing boot room keeping all coats, boits, rucksacks etc out of the way. Thank you

The property is in a beautiful location overlooking the Isle of Skye. Check in process was easy and communication with the host was very good. Our queries were answered quickly and they were able to accommodate our stay to fit in with our tour of Scotland. There were a couple of issues whilst we were there but we communicated with the host over these and Kay was quick to come back to us. We wanted the first leg of our holiday to be somewhere remote and this is most definitely it. The village shop and the Glenelg Inn are very useful village amenities as the closest Coop is a 40 minute drive. Amazingly peaceful and relaxing!

10.0 / 10.0

Glenelg is a beautiful place and the house is situated in a very tranquil spot overlooking Skye. The upstairs of the house is beautiful, great set up, well equipped kitchen and lots of games and books for the family. Kay was great to deal with and very quick to reply which was appreciated. Highlights for us; Sea kayaking in Plockton Pony trekking in Glenshiel Mam Ratagan Also coming back to the beautiful house after a long walk was great- the fire stick in the telly worked really well as did the wifi. Only things I would highlight are we found the sliding doors downstairs difficult to open (some blinds do not stay up) and the bedroom level could maybe use a wee freshen up (some stains on carpet in ensuite etc). Just small things which didn’t spoil the stay at all but maybe things to do in quieter periods. We would definitely return though- it is a very special place.

Beautiful house, fantastic location, 200 yards to a Wonderful pub that serves the most fantastic food ! Even the weather didn’t let us down What more could we ask for? That the house was cleaned before we arrived! Thick dust to all the roof supports, cobwebs on the toaster! Dirty windows Half the blinds didn’t work And tank tape on all the front patio doors And all the walls desperate for a lick of paint

An Gearasdan is a fabulous property in a stunning location. Glenelg is one of our favourite places to visit & this is the first time we have stayed at this property and we will definitely return. The host has been so helpful during all the covid cancellations & we were just so pleased to be able to make it this year.

This was our third time at An Gearasdan. We find the house to be ideal for housing us and all the kids who are now grown up. The house has everything you could possibly need for a week away. The kitchen is well equipped with various sizes of pans, bowls etc., lots of cutlery as well as food mixer, coffee maker, roasting tins etc. A short stroll to the pub for a lovely meal and the beach is close by for picnics.

10.0 / 10.0

A great location and brilliant communication and support from the owners. The house is in a great spot, with stunning views of Skye from indoors and outside. The local pub was a delight, for food and atmosphere. We kayaked around the Sound of Sleet, enjoyed the beaches and the tranquility. We’lll definitely be back.

The house is in a beautiful location, looking out on the Isle of Skye. The famous local ferry in Glenelg is perfect to use to explore Skye. Glenelg is peaceful. The house suits a group splendidly but also great for a small family. The kitchen is well equipped and laundry can be done, just buy or bring some detergent. Very enjoyable!

A perfect holiday

A perfect holiday

.An Gearasdan was an amazing place for our extended family. The setting was so beautiful,and the area around had so much to offer. We loved our visit to the Brochs, visited on foot by most, the waterfall up the glen was spectacular and the afternoon spent in the sun at the brewery a special memory. Arnisdale and Corran are charming villages with the Postie's walk. at the end and the goodies served at Sheena's Tea Hut a perfect reward.We walked to the ferry but did not feel the need to cross to Skye. The only outing not undertakenby the oldies was the walk to Sandaig, greatly enjoyed by the family.Unfortunately that we had a flat tyre but the service from the local garage in Kyle was superb. The house had everything we required and more as did the village shop.. In our ten years of holidaying as this extended family the proximity of the very friendly local pub was a first and greatly appreciated.

This was our second trip to An Gearasdan and we loved it just as much as the first time (have also booked for next year). It is a great house in a great, peaceful location. Close to the village shop, cafe and The Glenelg Inn for dinners out. The Glenelg Ferry means that you are only minutes from the Isle of Skye and all it has to offer. Just a wonderful place to switch off from the stresses of daily life.

Our week in Glenelg featured much heavy rain and high winds, so it was great to have such comfortable warm accommodation to relax in. This modern house has outsatnding views over the water to Skye, and the generous windows make the most of this aspect. The upper floor is given over to a spacious and comfortable sitting room/kitchen, with modern appliances and all the equipment we needed. There is a wood-burning stove but because of the efficient air-source heat pump, we were easily warm enough without it. Glenelg Inn, five minutes walk away, offererd us excellent meals on two occasions. We knew the area already, but enjoyed revisiting Arnisdale, Sandaig and Gleann Beag. The only disappointment was the otters proved elusive. .

Enjoyed our stay in this lovely location. Cleanliness of the house was disappointing, really needs a deep clean and some internal attention. We understand the owners are visiting soon and plan to do a few things. Cleans between stays need to be better too though. Lovely area to explore and very peaceful.

Secluded Family Getaway

House and location were idyllic and perfect for a much needed getaway. Size of house was ideal for our stay. Kitchen appliances were fantastic however cooking utensils and pots and pans needed to be of a better standard or replaced for doing family meals when deciding to eat in rather than going out. Kitchen cleaning products etc were rather sparse which was disappointing. Laundry facilities were excellent. Lovely host who always responded to any queries promptly.
