What a gem of a cottage, I can't over exaggerate how stunning the views are and your own Loch side hide is the cherry on the cake. We had a lovely welcome and a few treats waiting in the fridge. We had amazing weather which ment we mostly sat outside but if the weathers more inclement then inside has the large picture windows so you can still enjoy the incredible views. We were also lucky that our trip coincided with a full moon which we watched rise majestically, over the mountains at the end of the loch, from the garden. Pictures are accurate for the accommodation so you can see how lovely it is. We saw lots of wildlife: seals, porpoise, eider ducks and other birds from the accommodation, even an impressive young stag whilst driving down the drive. Eagles, otters, dolphins and other wildlife whilst on our travels to Skye and surrounding areas. We recommend a trip to "The Plock" view point in Kyle of Lochalsh, a beautiful place to explore and sit by the sore wildlife watching. Thank you Shoreside for an amazing holiday we will always remember!

Great location at the side of Loch Duich where you can look through the picture window and watch the changing light on the mountains. We saw seals a couple of times and the same for porpoises . The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. This was our second visit and would recommend it to others

We had the most wonderful holiday in Shoreside cottage, and would recommend it to everyone: the cottage itself was just perfect for 4 guests. We wanted for nothing. The view from the living-room window will stay with us for a long time. So beautiful! Apart from all the happy birds, we spotted otters (regularly) and porpoises in the loch. The hide was a surprising bonas, and where we sat and had our tea and coffee each morning (the views and the silence reducing us also to silence). The surrounding area is stunning: * Lower Diabaig* The Applecross penisula (coming down the Bealach na Ba: WOW)* If you can, use the Glenelg ferry to Skye (wonderful). We would also recommend the Glenelg inn.* Skye speaks for itself, really. ;)* Eilean Donan castle, so beautiful - always worth a visitLast but not least, the warm and friendly welcome we received - and knowing they were there if there was anything we needed. Lovely people.Best wishes,Roslyn
