"Pool House was very clean and comfortable with everything catered for
and views spectacular
the downside was the heating system was set to come on at certain times
which it did but did not stay on the whole time."
Even moving the settings as suggested by owner did not help. It was very cold so had to revert to electric fires

"Very well equipped sleeping 5 not 4 as listed but single bed was not made up, very efficient heating system, no dryer just washing machine so that detail needs deleting for accuracy."
Not really space for 2 cars either, but this cottage was the best equipped we have stayed in over many years. Very comfortable with electric reclining sofas. Good butchers, bakers available in Gairloch and very good village shop in Poolewe so everything you need very close. Views from cottage are fabulous.

"Fine house in a great position in a lovely area."
Good views direct from the house and garden.
Well organised - particularly the kitchen - e.g. cupboards free for guest's supplies, not filled up with host's stuff; and a choice of washing "tools" not just one. (Heating control slightly baffling but worked effectively when set.)
Would love to stay again.

"A stunning location, very comfortable and clean house with all amenities we needed."
The house acts like a hide for wildlife being so close to a small river and Loch. From the house we saw Red deer drinking from the small river on the beach, Loads of water based birds fishing and foraging for food amounts the seaweed and we saw a Otter down in Poolewe on the River Ewe.
Landscapes around the house and local area is incredible. We Kayaked on Loch Maree instead on Loch Ewe as Loch Ewe has some big currents that we didn’t feel happy about tackling.
Highly recommend the Loch Kernasary circular walk make sure to go round the walk clock wise it’s far more spectacular.
Owners have been brilliant and been easy to get hold off.

"Nice, geneerally well equiped house in beautiful surroundings."
Very clean and tidy on entry. Excellent heating. Kitchen adequate but very small and not very well arranged. No dishwasher, which mattered more since sink and drainer very awkwardly placed for hand washing up. Owner VERY helpful indeed over e-bike storage -- much appreciated.
Three minor failings:
1) only one bathroom in the house situated downstairs but all bedrooms situated upstairs. This should really be made clearer in the description -- and the provision of chamber pots in the bedrooms, old fashioned as it might seem, could be very useful.
2) we were seriously too hot in bed under a duvet which felt both over heavy and needlessly warm. Only on stripping the beds to leave did we discover that the duvet was in fact 2 10 tog duvets one held on top of the other by poppers. If we had known this at the start of the week we could have discarded one duvet and spent more comfortable nights,
3) Parking area is claimed to have room for two cars. It's adequate for one, but two would be very tight indeed. Moreover entry to the parking space is awkward and when arriving from Poolewe requires either reverse entry from a surprisingly busy road or a 300 yard drive to find space to turn round so as to enter the space forwards. Needless to say leaving the parking space onto a band in a single track road only permits departure in one direction and requires a turn-around to go in the other.

"A warm cosy cottage in a fabulous location on the edge of Loch Ewe."
Good old-fashioned spacious comfort! Good Wifi and two large TVs.
Garden views in three directions, incl. across the loch north to distant mountains and inland towards the Beinn Eighe range. Seabirds on the loch and many birds in the garden, but sadly I didn't see an otter. There is no local pub or restaurant, which might not suit some. The drive is four miles from Poolewe along a single-track road. There's a lovely sandy beach a few miles further along the loch. I'd certainly revisit.

but the setting was breathtaking. Opening the curtains in the morning and seeing the crystal clear waters of the loch against the mountainous backdrop was an awesome sight and one that will stay with us forever. Watching the occasional seal in the bay was a bonus and the walks to the cliffs at the end of the peninsula were exhilarating. Gairloch is close by where you grab something to eat and go out on a boat trip if you fancy it. We were lucky enough to have fantastic weather which only added to an already great holiday. What a fantastic setting for potentially a wonderful holiday.
