What our customers say about their holidays

  We wanted a relaxed holiday in a quiet spot and this was perfect.

  There was plenty to do in the area and we went to Mallaig several times for boat trips, to Skye, Rum and Knoydart. We also got the train to Fort William from the local station. The flat was very comfortable and clean, and well equipped. We appreciated the welcome pack including biscuits and teabags. We were originally not sure about the shower which, due to the height of the ceiling, meant that you couldn’t stand up, but found that there was a seat area in the bath and this enabled us to sit on it and use the hand held shower, which was quite powerful so that it wasn’t really an issue. The views from the dining area were stunning and we loved seeing the deer early morning and in the evening. A great holiday.

  Cooinda Flat is located above the owners own property but has its own separate entrance.

  It is set back slightly from a quiet road next to Cooinda Cottage. There is a washing machine and dryer on the “ground” floor as you enter then stairs to the flat. As others have pointed out, the roof is sloping so those of taller stature might have an issue (and a sore head) by the end of their stay. The three bedrooms are a good size, though the beds aren’t the most comfortable and the furniture is beginning to show its age. The views from the living room window are stunning and there is a deer family that regularly visits the field nearby. The bathroom let’s the property down as the corner bath is under the sloping roof so it’s virtually impossible to stand and have a shower and is difficult for older people to get in and out of. A rethink of the layout might help. There was however plenty of hot water for a bath. There is parking in front of the Flat and cottage as well as directly outside in the street. Mallaig is 2.5 miles away with tourist shops and tea rooms as well as a small Co-operative Shop with all the basics for self catering as there is no shops in Morar itself. Mike (the owner) popped round at the start of the stay to say hello. If you’re looking for a base on which to travel over to Skye on the ferry, Cooinda flat is perfect.

  The apartment was ideal for our holiday over looking Loch Morar.

  It had everything we required to enable us to self cater in the evening. I would comment that as with most self catering units the cookery knives whilst they look nice in their block are not up to the basic job they are designed for i .e. being sharp enough to cut the produce. My only other comment and this is personal, the corner bath and shower head are through necessity fitted in the bathroom corner with a sloping ceiling I found difficult to access through not being able to bend my knees sufficiently.. Mike the owner is a charming and attentive host and I think Cooinda is ideal and I would. recommend it to friends and relatives as the perfect base for this area of Scotland. Another bonus is that the railway station is a ten minute walk away enabling you to visit Mallaig and Fort William without using the car.

  "Waters Edge is lovely apartment, clean, spacious and modern.

  It is well equipped, has 2 nice bathrooms with good showers over the baths. The apartment is stylish with internal decoration to a high standard and has a welcoming feel to it. Waters Edge has a good view of Porthminster Beach, but as the balcony is North facing it doesn’t get direct sunlight, only at sunrise which is great to wake up to. The balcony is looking a little tired and unloved... New patio furniture and a deck clean would make all the difference. Peninsula apartments are in an unrivalled position overlooking Porthminster Beach and are convenient for all amenities in St Ives. They also offer the great advantage of access to the Harbour Hotel Spa for the duration of your stay. I highly recommend Peninsula Apartments and will definitely return. "Steve & Sandi Fletcher

  The only pity is it's such a long way to get here.

  The owner Mike was very helpful on arrival. The flat is spacious especially as there were only two of us. Location is fabulous ….The view ! constantly changing over the Loch......The walks..... The almost tame deer....Oh and the beaches,especially the coast road between Morar and Asisaig !!... and if you want to do the train ride from the village to Fort William the ordinary train has the same views and is much cheaper than the Jacobite (they share the same line). The road journey between Fort William and Morar/Mallaig is one stunning view after another so if you're the driver doing the same journey by train makes up for what you might miss even though you are tempted to stop every few hundred yards to take photos. We had mixed weather but it didn't detract from anything.
