About this house rental

Tigh-na-Camus (which means in Gaelic, House by the Bay) is a self-catering stand alone detached traditional highland cottage with a large extension on the back in a completely enclosed private garden. Tigh-na-Camus is situated in a fantastic rural location right next to the seashore & pier in the picturesque village of Glenelg, with uninterrupted and stunning views across the bay to the Isle of Skye. It is a very convenient five minute walk to the centre of the village, where you will find the local grocery shop and the Inn with its restaurant & bar, which throughout the summer months frequently has traditional live music.
Only a short drive will take you to the neighbouring villages which hold a host of other amenities.
We offer a reduction for your 2nd week, plus no extra cost for any four legged companions that week.
The location so close to the shore & pier is excellent for anyone who likes to canoe, paddle board and swim. Also the canoes and paddle boards can be easily stored at the back of the house when not in use.
Tigh-na-Camus is an excellent location for Munro climbing as it is very close to Sqritheall which has a height of 974 metres, with its stunning views, as seen from some of the pictures.
When i was growing up Tigh-na-Camus was the police house in Glenelg. We added a large modern extension at the rear. This incorporates a bright spacious fully equipped and fitted kitchen with a traditional pine table for breakfast or informal meals. Also on the ground floor is the modern bathroom with a curved shower as well as a double bedroom with twin beds. There is also a lounge and a large dining room plus the added bonus of the sun room.
On the first floor are two double bedrooms both with spectacular views over the Sound of Sleat and the Isle of Skye.
There is also an upstairs toilet.
With its comfortable separate dining and living rooms, large modern kitchen plus the sun room, it is an excellent & surprisingly large house right next to the beach to appreciate the wonderful scenery right outside its door.
The large bright sun room at the front of the house is a wonderful place to sit and relax at any moment of the day; the spectacular view across the bay to the nearby Isle of Skye presents a breath-taking vista of unspoiled beauty and can be appreciated in all weathers and is a great favourite with visitors who can sit and wonder at the infinite beauty of Mother Nature.
Tigh-na-Camus sits in the middle of a large private enclosed garden. On the patio situated just outside the kitchen there is a picnic table and on the other side of the garden a bench to relax and enjoy those uninterrupted views southwards down to the Sound of Sleat and across to the Island of Skye.

Two well behaved dogs are allowed (small additional charge per dog). No dogs are allowed upstairs, on the beds or on furniture and we would appreciate it, if dog owners would please remove any mess which is done in the garden so as not to spoil the pleasure of the garden for the following guests.
As there is a problem with sheep in the area, could both gates PLEASE be closed securely. This is another reason we ask that dogs do not go on the furniture as the sheep dung which dogs easily walk through gets trapped in their claws and then leaves permanent stains.

We stayed in the cottage for 2 weeks in July 2025 and had a very comfortable holiday, partly exploring and walking the different spots across the peninsula, on southern Skye and in Kintail and partly sat just watching the world (and the dolphins) go by from the super sun room. This is such a great find and particularly helpful to be allowed to bring our dog

A fabulous property with great views over to Skye. Perfect base for exploring this area of the Highlands. Beautiful countryside all around and a nearby local ferry service.

Another fantastic holiday in Glenelg, this time we celebrated my 40th birthday and I proposed to my girlfriend (she said yes). First time in this particular house and I have to say, it was perfect. Lovely big garden for our dog and beautiful views of the bay and Skye whilst in the front room. We’ll definitely be using this house again. Thank you so much.

Our family stayed at Tigh-Na-Camus for a week as part of a family wedding celebration. The cottage was a perfect place for us and Myra is one of the best hosts we have dealt with. A lovely house with beautiful views of Skye in a wonderful part of the world!
