  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

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
