About this property

Glenelg, pet friendly spacious house with fantastic views across the bay to Skye

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. Cats on request. Dogs are not allowed on furniture , beds or upstairs. 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 had a truly fantastic week in Glenelg staying in this great house. The views from the sunroom at the front are totally amazing and ever changing in all weathers. The house is big with a very nice garden and has been so well looked after by the owners. It was a great base for our family holiday with our adult kids and our dog. So many fantastic walks on the doorstep. The village of Glenelg is very friendly and relaxed with the pub doing great food and pints. Recommend booking in for the Sunday venison roast at The Glenelg Inn. Thank you so very much for such a fabulous stay in your wonderful home.

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

Having holidayed in the Highlands for 50 years in rented accommodation Tigh-na-Camus rates as one of the best, most particularly the wonderful sun room with spectacular views. A great way to unwind was just to sit and take in the great scenery.

Thank you Peter for you comment, "Having holidayed in the Highlands for 50 years in rented accommodation Tigh-na-Camus rates as one of the best" That was really lovely to read. We had a lot of interesting correspondence with Peter prior to their arrival due to storm Babet and the severe flooding down south which meant they couldn't arrive until later. Fortunately for them we ourselves were due to be in Tigh-na-Camus the following week for a wedding. We delayed our own trip to allow them the possibility of some extra days at the end of their holiday. Thank you for leaving Tigh-na-Camus so tidy for us, which was much appreciated and hopefully we will see you again in the sunroom enjoying the view.

A peach of a place in a fabulous location

Having stayed in numerous self catering cottages over many years, this has to be one of the best that we have stayed in! The cottage is in amazing location with wonderful views of the Isle of Skye across the water. The cottage itself was amazing, it had everything that you would ever wish for and more. To add it is well maintained and spotlessly clean which is a credit to Myra the host, who kept very good communications with before, during and also after our stay. I would honestly recommend this property to anyone I know. Myra thank you and we will most definitely becoming back.

Highly recommended house and location

Just a fabulous location, amazing view from the sunroom, good local walks (low and higher hill level), lots of wildlife (including otter and sea-eagle appearances); and the house is a good size for 6 and very well provisioned. We all had a really great week, in spite of some pretty wild and stormy weather. Didn't quite manage the wild swimming over Hogmanay!, but a summer visit would be enticing for this. Also close to Skye in the summer months. Would highly recommend the house and communication with Myra who is very helpful. Thanks from all of us.

Wonderful property in stunning location

After a long delay on the journey to Glenelg, we were delighted to unwind with a glass of wine and watch the sun go down over Skye from the beautiful sunroom. We were in Glenelg last year for a long weekend and were very envious of the people staying in Tigh-na-Camus as we walked past each day so booked our stay for this year as soon as we got back home! The house is very peaceful and welcoming and has the best views of anywhere in Glenelg! We spent most of our time in the sunroom watching the ever-changing scenery and looking out for dolphins and seals - sometimes they came quite close to the shore in front of the house. The house itself was spotlessly clean and very well equipped for self-catering and it was good to have a private parking space at the back. The dogs loved the big garden. The village shop stocks the basics and the Glenelg Inn does excellent food. There's also a microbrewery near the Brochs which sometimes does pizzas and is well worth a visit. On the way home up the Mam Ratagan Pass we saw a pine marten, which was a bonus. Thank you, Myra, for sharing your lovely house with us - we will most definitely be coming back!

You Won't Be Disappointed

When we originally made our choice of which home to stay at on our trip it was based more on location that it was the actual house. Because of that this was likely more house than two of us needed. Even so I would pick Tigh-na-Camus every time even if it was just me. The house has everything you need to be comfortable. The eat-in-kitchen is large and fully stocked with modern appliances and kitchenware. Greatly appreciated the washer and separate dryer. We only used them a couple of times, but really helps when reducing what you need to pack for a two week trip. There are plenty of different areas to relax so you don't feel on top of each other and then of course there is the sunroom. We spent many hours in that space appreciating the stunning views. While we only got to see one seal out on the water, the daily parade of comical sheep kept us entertained. Glenelg itself is a beautiful, somewhat remote village (which we appreciated). The local shop has plenty of options and is very competitively priced given it's the only option for some miles. The Glenelg Inn has wonderful food and the staff are amazing. Plenty of places to walk and fun finding shells and unique rocks on the shoreline. One warning. Midges!!! On our first night we walked to the pub and came back with about 100 midge bites. Wear long clothing and get some midge spray if you plan to be outdoors. The host was very helpful and easy to work with. We will definitely be back. Already miss it.

Host profile image
I am originally from Glenelg and was very lucky to grow up in this special place.
Due to work commitments I have spent the last 35 years working & living at various times in five different European countries.
I love to come back to Glenelg whenever I can and am always sad to leave.
I am delighted to say that I have now returned back to Scotland to live.

Why they chose this property

Tigh-na-Camus was originally the local police house and I remember as a child being taught how to play badminton by the police officer who lived in it.
Since my husband and I bought the house we have over the years sympathetically changed a lot in the house. The biggest alteration was when we added the modern extension to the rear of the property, though still managing to maintain the traditional croft house look at the front. A frequent comment we get is how Tigh-na-Camus is more spacious inside than it looks from the outside. With1,561 square feet it is a large house and ideal for a family or group of friends to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Tigh-na-Camus has a very special feel to it, tranquil is how many describe it, which is probably due to its age (it was built in approximately 1897) and its character coupled with the modern comforts & facilities of the large bright family kitchen and bathroom. The sun room is also a treat to sit in, be it when the weather is cool or super hot, the ever changing vista in front of you will work its magic. It is a view that you will never tire of or forget and probably like me, wish that you could take it with you when you leave.
