About this property

Comfortable property with ample space and views of the 5 sisters of Kintail

Situated in Glenshiel - one of the most hauntingly beautiful glens in Scotland - surrounded by the Kintail mountains and around the corner from Loch Duich, Woodlands is a warm and welcoming house with a 20ft square lounge and fantastic large kitchen. The mountainous views from the house are wonderful. Its huge lounge has a fabulous view of the Saddle, a mountain much revered by hillwalkers, and the Five Sisters at sunset are a sight to behold from the snug, a small room for anyone wanting some downtime. The kitchen, whilst not enjoying views of the Saddle and Five Sisters, does still have a great view and is extremely popular with its large table and warm atmosphere. Four bath/shower rooms ensure there aren't lengthy queues in the morning or evening. With large grounds to explore and plenty of games in the house, children love Woodlands (little ones will need supervising as part of the garden is steep and boggy as there is a spring running down the back).Please note for dog owners the garden is secure however goats and other wild life can sometimes breach the fencing without our knowledge. We would recommend checking the fencing out with the enclosed inner garden area before allowing your dog /dogs to run free within the extended plot.

With 22 Munros in the area, the Five Sisters ridge and the Saddle accessed directly from the house, Woodlands is perfect for hillwalkers. For ramblers there are countless mid and low level walks of all descriptions - lochside, forest, glen, waterfall (Falls of Glomach)l, river and sea shore. The house is also perfect for large family get-togethers and being on the A87, it is ideally placed for those wishing to tour by car.

There is pony-trekking a couple of hundred yards away and many types of boat trips from seal-spotting trips to glass-bottom boats. Attadale and Armadale gardens are within easy reach and Eilean Donan Castle is only 6 miles away. In addition to all this, the Iron Age brochs of Glenelg are some 11 miles away. The bridge to the Isle of Skye and all it has to offer is 16 miles away. Applecross (on the North Coast 500 route), Glenelg and Knoydart are within easy reach. Torridon and the Nevis Range are also within driving distance.

At the end of the day, Woodlands and its warm and welcoming atmosphere is great to get back to. Dinner around the large dining table is well appreciated as are the extremely comfortable sofas in the lounge. There is also an outside barbeque for use in warmer weather.

Finally, a car isn't necessary as buses from Inverness, Glasgow, Fort William, and Skye stop 100 yards from the house.

Nothing to complain about.
Large spacious and cosy house. Wonderful scenery around the village, the gateway to the Isle of Skye 20 minutes away, and what feels like the only chocolaterie in the whole of Scotland within walking distance. Of course, as almost everywhere in the Highlands, you should have a car with you, as public transport is not as frequent as you might be used to in cities.

Glen Shiel
Das Haus ist sehr gut für eine große Familie. Auf den Bildern sieht es oso aus, als ob das Haus in ziemlich abgelegener Umgebung ist. Allerdings liegt es genau an der Hauptstraße. Dadurch kann es manchmal ziemlich laut werden und ein sitzen im Garten ist nicht angenehm. Aber ansonsten war alles super, sauber und perfekt. Der nächst größere Einkaufsladen ( Coop ) ist allerdings in Kyle was ca 30min weg ist. Es gibt aber kleinere Läden davor.

Perfecte vakantie
Het huis is een perfecte uitvalsbasis om Ilse of Skye te verkennen. Op amper 25 minuten rijden van Kyle of Lochalsh waar je de brug naar Skye overrijdt. Het prachtige Eilean Donna kasteel ligt op 20 minuutjes rijden. Je kan ook mooie wandelingen in de buurt maken en inkopen doen kan bij de Spar op 20 minuten rijden of de co-op op 25 minuten rijden. Een lokale “kruidenier” vind je op wandelafstand evenals het heel aangename “ pitstop@kintail”. Het huis is heel goed uitgerust met 5 ruime slaapkamers, 4 propere badkamers een goed uitgeruste grote keuken en een hele grote leefruimte. Overal ligt aangenaam zacht vast tapijt. In de tuin is een barbecue met alle nodige voorzieningen om dadelijk aan het werk te gaan. Twee grote tuintafels, twee tuinzetels en een voederplaats voor vogels,waar heel veel volk op afkwam, zorgen voor een gezellige tuin. Een basketring en bal en een tuinhuis met pooltafel, darts, kegelspel en petanque zorgen voor voldoende spelplezier. Due is een zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame host. Er was een warm welkomstpakket voorzien en alle communicatie verliep vlot en amicaal. We zijn net een week terug thuis en hebben nu al heimwee.

Sehr einladend es Haus in traumhafter Umgebung
Unser Aufenthalt war rundum gelungen. Das Haus und die Vermieter haben uns sehr liebevoll empfangen. Alles nötige und viele nette Kleinigkeiten standen für uns bereit. Das Haus ist schön und zweckmäßig eingerichtet und bietet viel Komfort ( Spielscheune und Spiele, ausreichend gemütliche Sitzmöglichkeiten). Die Lage des Hauses ist wunderschön,mit einem tollen Ausblick auf die Highlands aus allen Fenstern. Wir haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt und würden gerne wieder kommen.

Amazing location
We chose this location, as it gave us access to the Kintail mountains and Fort William in one direction, and the Isle of Skye in the other. The home was very well maintained and offered us the flexibility of quiet outdoor space and an amazing floor plan inside. From the little goody basket Sue left us, to the use of 2 refrigerators and a washer/dyer, we had everything we needed for the week. The kitchen was the main dining area and we had plenty of seating. The bedrooms and baths were spread out and we never felt on top of each other. Sue was an amazing host and answered all our questions about the house and gave us so many tips on the area and places to stop on our way back to Inverness for our flights. I would highly recommend this location to anyone who is hiking in these areas or doing the site seeing (check out the ferry, not far from the house, that takes you over to the Isle of Skye). Thanks so much for making our stay a pleasurable and memorable one...
