• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Taigh Glas: it is a delightful cottage, warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean with a wonderful view, from the sitting/ dining area, of the coastline and out to sea."

  Gairloch, a short drive from the cottage, has shops providing all necessary provisions, a very interesting Museum, with a great cafe, and the Myrtle Bank Hotel, with a dining room looking out to sea, serves very good evening meals. Altogether, Taigh Glas was a delightful place in which to stay.

• "What a fantastic place to stay."

  The cottage provides everything you need. A home from home. The view on a clear day over to skye is breathtaking. It's a good starting point for many hikes an walks or for those who likes a refreshing swim in the sea. Thanks a lot for this place.

  Thank you, Iris, for your glowing review from Germany. It was a pleasure to meet you both - your enthusiasm and appreciation were a joy. I am so glad that everything worked out so well. Elizabeth Property Owner

• "This was our 2nd stay at Taigh Glas and we enjoyed it just as much."

  Taigh Glas is in a tranquil location and has all the facilities you would need with the most comfortable bed! The panormaic windows in the lounge give you views across the fields to the mountains and out to sea. Big Sand Beach is just a short walk down the lane. We shopped at most of the little nearby shops, we recommend Viral Spark (the vinyl shop), Crumbs (the little sandwich, pie, cake shop), Budda By The Sea and the Farm Shop. The Millcroft Inn Bar is friendly for a local drink. We recommend the Loch Kersary walk in Poolewe, seeing stag and deer. On returning from our walk we seen otter in Loch Ewe at Poolewe. A litte book in the property for coastal and country walks was useful: we visited Slaggan Bay with incredible views when you get there, idyllic. A short distance is Mellon Udrigle Beach which is also worth a visit, pristine. The Gairloch Explorer walk was also enjoyable. Additional places we recommend: Firemore Beach, the monument at Achnasheen further along is very poignant. Pleasant drives to Aultbea and Mellon Charles. It was lovely to meet Elizabeth who is very considerate and gives you all the privacy you need but is happy to help if you need anything, thank you for your kind texts before and during our stay - much appreciated and we hope to return in the future x

  Thank you very much for your kind words, Janet, and your helpful recommendations for other guests. I am always pleased to hear when guests enjoy their stay and I am delighted that you have been able to fit in so many different activities! Elizabeth Property Owner

• "Taigh Glas is a lovingly renovated little cottage, very tastefully and high-quality decorated and kept by the housekeeper which really loves what she does."

  The view is really amazing! You can see the mountains surrounding the sea, you can spot eagles and deers from your window. Even on rainy days you ´d like to stay at home because it ´s so cosy and comfortable. On cold and windy days you can light the fireplace. Gairloch is located in cetral Wester Ross and you have several routes for hiking, walking and cycling nearby. What a wonderful place - we really love it!

• "What an absolutely idyllic holiday we had at Taigh Glas."

  The cottage was immaculate and the panoramic views were fantastic. Watching the landscape of an evening across the sea, hills and mountains was mesmerising. The nearby village of Strath is very pretty with a selection of shops and Gairloch has everything you could need. We found the Farm Shop very friendly and had pretty much anything you needed. The beaches are lovely with a wide selection along whichever route you take. There's a nice little walk from Gairloch Beach to the harbour. Flowerdale Glen (Waterfall) was a lovely walk, seeing a stag (at the pond area near the entrance) was pretty special. Poolewe was beautiful, the local market on a Tuesday is recommended and the little cafe near the post office has delicious home made pies! Catching a sea trout in the estuary of Loch Ewe was a dream. Recommend walking the circular Loch Kernsary route, pure wilderness. Rubha Reidh lighthouse along the B8021 from the cottage is well worth a visit, passing through Melvaig and the vastness of the landscape makes it feel like the edge of the world! A walk over to Big Sand Beach to watch the sunset is only 5 minutes away. The directions to the cottage were perfect. Thankyou Elizabeth for a wonderful holiday.

  You’re very welcome, Janet - I am delighted that everything worked out so well for you! Your considerate care of the cottage was much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to write so many helpful comments for other visitors. Elizabeth Property Owner

  Whilst it is a good base to explore the North West Coast, it is the perfect place to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Big Sands itself. Elizabeth has created such a welcoming space with appliances and furnishings of a high standard and is the perfect host. We look forward to returning again soon.

• "Beautiful, well appointed cottage in a stunning location."

  Elizabeth is a considerate host who is on hand to deal with any problems, should any arise but gives guests complete privacy to enjoy their stay. We found the sofa quite uncomfortable but acceptable for the week. The pot holes on the drive to the cottage have to be carefully observed and could be quite dangerous if you were driving in the dark. We have stayed twice and thoroughly enjoyed both our holidays at Taigh Glas and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Sadly the cost of renting the cottage has now gone up considerably, therefore we will not be returning, as it is now beyond our means.

  Thank you very much for your comments and your feedback. I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay. We have looked into these issues and the council have rectified the problem. We do appreciate the rising costs. Prices are rising across the board, however, and we have had to reflect that. Thank you again. Elizabeth Property Owner

  The views were outstanding, so lovely watching the light fade over the distant Skye mountains, in the evening while enjoying a wee dram!. The property is presented beautifully and we had everything we needed for our stay. A lovely house and location for two on the west coast of Scotland with the owner Elizabeth discreetly on hand if required. Just lovely

  It was a faultless and perfect holiday and in 50 weeks of travelling in the Highlands & Islands these past 5 years, Taigh Glas has, without rival, the very best kitchen I have ever had the pleasure of cooking in! The ever changing landscape views from the glass box lounge were very therapeutic and relaxing. The mighty Torridon Range of Mountains never fails to impress!

• "Elizabeth was a great host, very helpful."

  The house was very clean with a superb kitchen (high quality appliances that all worked) and fabulous views of sea, Skye and mountains from the big windows in the lounge area. The log burner is an added bonus but we only used it once as we were lucky with the weather. The garden was full of birdsong when we were there (early May) and we sat on the little bench outside to watch them - brilliant! Elizabeth explained the footpaths to the beach and other walks we could do. Gairloch is a lovely place - eating lunch outside the community cafe in the sun was great! The house is perfect for two and we hope to be back one day.

• "Absolutely perfect cottage in every way!"

  Taigh Glas was so cosy to come home to after a days walking and we loved watching the weather come and go from the picture windows. It's the ideal place to recharge your batteries, whether you want to just sit and admire the view from the lovely stone seat in the garden, wander down to the beach or head off further afield to explore all that the area has to offer. The cottage is very well-equipped to a high standard with everything you could possibly need and spotlessly clean. Elizabeth is a very friendly and helpful host. We would not hesitate in recommending Taigh Glas and definitely hope to return.

  There was an otter catching his breakfast over by the far rocks.

• "Perfect place for couples or just one."

  Loved the underfloor heating; toasty warm to come home to after a wet and windy coastal (or mountain) walk. I still dream about the 180' view from the living area through those marvellous walls of glass. Light, contemporary, but comfy decor. Everything you need, all modern appliances, and a helpful but invisible nearby hostess if you do manage to think of something extra!

  We didn't want for anything, the views were fantastic and just lovely to sit and watch the sea and the mountains without moving as the glazed sitting area permitted views of both. Lovely and warm and didn't need to light the woodburner once. Well situated for exploring all around Wester Ross.

  Not completely isolated but certainly feels like it. Superb views of the mountains and sea. You can see the waves rolling in; take a pair of binoculars with you. Warm and very comfortable.

  It has been exquisitely designed to maximise the light and stunning views of sea, islands and mountains.
