"The cottage was great!"
It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything we needed. The location was super and the views from the living room window were fantastic! There was also the added bonus of seeing the Jacobite steam train passing just behind the cottage. We really enjoyed our stay.
Thank you for your feedback, I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Taigh Na Talia and hope that I may be able to welcome you back again in the future. Best regards, Graham. Property Owner

"The first contact was amazing and really useful because I had not really had time to research things."
A nice and thoughtful touch.Instruction and advice clear straightforward and useful. The cottage lived up to all expectations and more. I think the owners take their responsibility seriously and have thought of everything that might be useful. We had no need to contact the owner but i'm sure if we had, they would have helped out immediately Well done!
Thank you for your kind words, we do try to make sure you have an enjoyable time at Taigh Na Talia and it's nice to know that it's appreciated. Property Owner

"Taigh na Talia is an excellent holiday cottage in the most wonderful setting."
The view of Eigg and Rum from the window is incomparable. We spent a happy week here exploring the area and returning to the comfort of the house in the evening. The house is well-equipped and the owners are very helpful and respond quickly and helpful if you have any questions or problems. We visited Eigg by ferry and pootled about in Arisaig, Morar and Mallaig. We visited the beaches at Camasdarrach, the Silver Sands and the Bourblach (just a short walk away). There is a lot to see and do, but it’s also wonderful to just sit and take it all in.
Thank you for your feedback and I'm pleased you had an enjoyable holiday. I couldn't agree more that the area is perfect for doing as much, or little, as the fancy takes you! Hoping to welcome you back again in the future. Graham. Property Owner

"We were utterly delighted with Taigh na Talia, as we wrote in the visitors' book."
The view out to Rum over the bay was stunning. The cottage was roomy, well-equipped (though I did once need a whisk, which I couldn't find) and comfortable (apart from a slightly harder mattress than I find desirable) and I was more than pleased to find a real BATH in the "bathroom" to ease aching muscles after walking - and climbing An Sgurr on Eigg! The situation was perfect for planning walks and boat and train trips. It was very obviously a loved family home and we felt privileged to share it. A Thai takeaway from "Sunset" made an excellent last night meal but the lack of a garage (petrol) and shop in the village should be noted.
Thanks again for booking Taigh Na Talia and I'm pleased that you enjoyed it. Well done on climbing the Sgur, I hope you had a clear day for it to fully appreciate the views. I hope I may welcome you back sometime in the future. Property Owner

"Fantastic views and a very convenient location for the beach, train, and local amenities."
Very quiett even though its next to the trainline. Private parking and access to the shed added to the ease of the stay.
Thanks for your feedback and for choosing to stay at Taigh Na Talia. Property Owner

"This was our second visit and we weren’t disappointed."
Loved every minute. The cottage was a home from home, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The views from the front window are unbelievable, and we spent many an hour just staring at the beach, sea and islands. We used the train again to Glenfinnan and did plenty of walks as the weather was sunny but cold. The highlight was watching the Northern Lights from the front garden. What a show.!! We will never forget our stay and will be back!
I'm delighted that you had another lovely time staying at Taigh Na Talia. I envy you seeing the northern lights, that's eluded me so far! Thanks again for your repeat booking and I hope to welcome you yet again soon. Property Owner

"A great little holiday home that was perfect for our needs."
Spotlessly clean, great beds, wonderful view (obviously). We were left wanting for nothing and will certainly be back. Thanks for the cake too, that was much appreciated.
Thanks for your feedback, I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and I look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

"A lovely comfortable property with extensive views over the beautiful silver sands of Morar."
It is a real home from home and is exceptionally clean and warm. It is a perfect base for hiking in the hills, mountains and beaches around the property and for exploring this scenic area by train. We visited Fort William and Glenfinnan from the station in the village and watched the Jacobite steam train pass by the garden. Fabulous! We would highly recommend this property and are going to book again.
Thank you for booking Taigh Na Talia and I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. I look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Graham. Property Owner

"We loved it."
However, we found the bath slippery when showering. A bath mat would be a good addition. Really lovely, well equipped property. Will reccomend.
-
"A stunning Cottage."
The ever changing views across to the Isles of Rum and Eigg are wonderful. And the beaches in walking distance are sublime!! The property has everything you need for a relaxing holiday We loved seeing the Jacobite Steam train puffing it’s way past the cottage each day And we saw a rare and very beautiful Pine Marten in the back garden one evening A wonderful stay

"Absolutely beautiful part of Scotland and I am definitely returning."
Graham was brilliant in keeping in touch and the place was warm with the most spectacular views of Morar bay …. Sax to come home really and already planned another trip as I have fallen in love with the area and the people! Thank you. Two years waiting to visit and I kid you not it was amazing. Get it booked. You won’t regret it.

"This was our first time using Sykes cottages to book accommodation and every went smoothly."
The cottage itself was lovely ,in a great location with a wonderful view out to sea. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had every thing you would need for a holiday break.There was lots of information on the local area in the house and communications from the owner were very friendly and helpful. AS an added bonus we had the use of the garage and we used that to store our bikes.The owner (Graham) was very helpful when we left behind a couple of cycle helmets as he arranged to return them to us. We would hope to be able to book this property again in the future as we loved the time we had in the cottage in spite of the wet weather.Thank you.

"We had a lovely stay in this cottage."
The views to Rhum & Eigg from the cottage were wonderful. The owners had provided lots of helpful information. We would definitely visit again if in that area. PS one of the patio wooden chairs was broken on our arrival & would require to be replaced

"Cottage was lovely."
Superb views. Steep steps tho so not good for anyone with disabilities
-
"Everything was utterly perfect for our holiday in Morar."
The house was lovely with spectacular views, really comfortable and toasty warm. Was heaven to come back to it after a long day out exploring this beautiful region. Hopefully we'll return to it ourselves one day and I'll certainly recommend it to friends and family.
-
"Beautiful cottage, very well presented and stunning location."
The view from the living room is a huge selling point and we enjoyed the steam train going past. The rooms in the cottage are really generous sizes, neat and clean. Owner's information was very helpful. Would happily book again.

"The bungalow is very nice , with great views (when available !"
) ....unfortunately , our stay co-incided with "STORM ?????? " and there really isn't a great deal to do in this area if the weather is as bad . ps we are LAKE DISTRICT veterans , so used to iffy conditions . None of that was the bungalows fault , however , and we really couldn't fault that .

"The owner was very welcoming and made it that little bit more special."
-
"Lovely cosy cottage with great views which was a perfect base for exploring the area."
Very close to great coastal walks, the local beaches and Loch Morar. The cottage was spotlessly clean throughout, bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was very well appointed with everything you could possibly need. Would definitely return again in the future.
