"This was a really lovely property to stay in, with fantastic views."
We were an adult family of 5, and we found Torgorm both roomy and comfortable.
The kitchen was really well equipped. We cooked a lot, and there were loads of pans, crockery and utensils.
The log burner was lovely, and made our stay.
The only negative is that it would have been nice to have a small welcome pack of at least milk. Especially after our respective journeys of between 8 and 10 hours.

"Erfect location with an amazing view!"
Many walks from the door and a little further afield. Glenelg inn and Dun brewing tap room is well worth a visit. We were also lucky enough to watch a stag wander passed the burn to the side of the house.

"Amazing place."
The house is very well equipped and can cater eaily for 6 adults. The guest book needs replacing as there are no empty pages left. The rest of the documentation could do with a tidy up as it has grown organically. One or two dining chairs may be superfluous and make the big room a bit cluttered.

"Our first impression of the property was disappointing."
Rendering cracked and crumbling and the wood very grey. Nothing like the photograph in the listing. Certainly not the wow factor we had hoped for. Whilst certain areas had been cleaned inside, there were many more that hadn’t. The whole place seemed tired and grubby and in need of some TLC and a deep clean. Many items needed washing or replacing. On the whole it was adequate for our needs however for the price paid I would have expected much better.

The beds did take little getting use to as both doubles were very firm. Can not fault the cleanliness or facilities. Would happily rebook.

"Please address kitchen cleaning, all utensils and equipment needed a good clean before use, items were sticky to touch and toaster full of bits old water in kettle etc."
Main bedroom bed extremely hard! Also awful smell in that room, despite window open.
No welcome pack, which we have come to expect from Skyes cottages, disappointing as always a lovely gesture
Recomend anyone travelling take a mattress topper to ease bed issues.
But...FANTASTIC views and location made up for this and after a clean round in the kitchen all good elsewhere in the house. Lovely welcome from the locals.

"The best view in the whole of Glenelg!"
A mesmerising place. The dog and the teenagers loved it even though there was just one blue sky day and sunset (when the rest of GB bathed in the heat!). The Glenelg Inn is sublime and Dun Brewery feels like you're in France. Great paddle boarding spot. The only thing to be mindful is getting to Glenelg itself. The one route in is not for the faint hearted over the highlands so it was decision by the teens to only leave Glenelg via the ferry to Skye. This is an epic way to travel with the assistance the border collie ferry hands but take note of the seasonal and daily times for sailing and also in high winds you're not going anywhere! I dream of Glenelg and the magic there...just make sure you are ok with the last bit of the journey to get to this destination.

"Stunning location for a holiday house, the view from the living room was incredible."
A few negatives which did detract from the overall experience.
No hot water in ensuite shower.
New mattress needed in ensuite bedroom
Threadbare towels.
Nonetheless we would not hesitate to return and would be happy to pay a bit more to remedy the negatives.

"Lovely well equipped house, gorgeous view when you get to see it, sadly we were very unlucky with the weather, fantastic wood burner which we used to full advantage."
We picked this cottage for its remote location for wildlife and night photography, on the first night we saw an amazing sky but unfortunately it rained almost constantly thereafter, but if you're looking to stargaze and you get a clear night then this property is definitely a winner.
A point to note is that the access road is in very poor condition and the turn into the property is very tight therefore anyone arriving in a car with low(ish) suspension may struggle our Volvo grounded out at a couple of points so care is needed.
Village shop stocks only basic essentials, Co-op in Kyle has everything you need. Glenelg inn warm and welcoming but kitchen is closed during the winter hours, opens (Thursday - Sunday nights).
Would we return?
Yes!

"FABULOUS view."
We had a lovely peaceful and relaxing week in this beautiful part of Scotland; really got to know the area by exploring on foot and there are some super hidden gems if you just look.
Would have been very keen to 're book for the same week next year - But, looking at the Sykes website the price has gone up CONSIDERABLY (not sure why ) same house, same view, same location, same facilities .....
Shame that nature's view - that is FREE - has such a cost put on it.

The cottage is perfectly well appointed, with plenty of room for a family of 6. We cooked in, and had everything we needed (and more) and also ate out at the Glenelg Inn; less than 5 minutes away. We didn’t use the TV once; just relaxed and walked and took in the location!
