Comfortable Split Level 4 Bedroom House With Lovely Sea Views Out To Skye

4 Bedroom house. Built on hill side overlooking harbour to Skye. On the lower floor there is 1 double bedrooms and one twin bedroom as well as a bathroom and utility room with washing machine and dryer. On the main floor there is living room with sliding doors onto a glass walled balcony with views out to sea and spectacular sunsets. There is a kitchen / dining room again with views out to sea. There is also a double bedroom and shower room on this floor. On the top floor is a twin room with en suite shower room. There is a further play area here with small pool table . We find that we spend our time on the balcony if we want to be outside enjoying the beautiful views out to Skye. There is parking for 3 cars.. we have repainted and updated the kitchen and living room this winter. The bathrooms were re -done very recently too so it is a lovely house to stay in. The main asset is the magnificent views from the main living rooms and balcony.
We are positioned on the hill side above Charleston harbour with lovely views across the harbour out towards the tip of Skye. We have magnificent sunsets to enjoy from the dining room, living room and balcony. There is a small convenience shop at the harbour. Boat trips go out into the bay and the Minch and whales a dolphins often seen. You can walk over the headland to the gorgeous beach. There is a lovely 9 hole golf course at the back of the beach. You can walk to the Old Inn which serves good food. The valley behind the Inn has a lovely walk. There are many beautiful beaches in the area including Redpoint, Mellon Udrigle and Gruinard which should not be missed. Plenty of mountains to climb!
Badechro inn is a great place to stop for a drink or book for a meal as it is right on the waters edge.
We shop at the Shop at the pier and the Farm Shop for food as well as the Butchers in the Strath called Morrisons.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

upgrade required

The house is large and offers a magnificent view of the ocean. Gairloch is beautiful village.However, all the furniture and equipment (including carpets, sofas, showers and even kitchen utensils) are outdated .stains on carpets and pillows.the house smells of moisture and the washing machine as well.In addition, some areas, notably the window surrounds, are not clean. Finally, the balcony balustrade and the handrail on the stairs to the children's playroom are dangerously unstable.This house has a lot of potential, but unfortunately no updates have been made. Finally, you are asked to clean the house and in particular to bring back empty glass bottles several kilometers from the house, which is not very easy, especially if you come without a vehicle.

Wonderful Stay in Gairloch

This property is perfect for a stay in Gairloch, and as a base for visiting the wider west coast. The pictures really do not do it justice - there is a beautiful balcony we spent most nights sitting on with a gorgeous view over the harbour, and the rooms and living areas are much more spacious than expected. Would stay here again and highly recommend it!

Stunning Views

We stayed at Glenbrae 10 years ago when our children were much smaller so it was lovely to return again. The house is really spacious and well suited to a large family group. The play room is a great addition especially the pool table which was used regularly. The beds were comfortable, the showers were reliable and hot and the wifi stood up to the pressure of several teenagers without complaint. The area is one we have visited a few times now and we always find something new to do. The pub is next door and we had a lovely meal there, the shops and cafe on the pier are within walking distance and the centre of Gairloch is not too far either. We were blessed with a week of gorgeous weather meaning we spent lots of time at the beach, Red Point was particularly beautiful.

Smooth process and the area is lovely

Check-in / check-out was easy. The beds were clean and very comfortable. Some fixtures, furnishings and kitchenware could do with being replaced/upgraded but overall was a nice place to stay to explore Gairloch and surrounding area. The balcony is good but the view of the bay is becoming a bit obscured with trees. Would also have liked there to have been an enclosed garden for our dog but with the position of the house, that’s just not feasible. The Chinese takeaway in Gairloch is fantastic but would recommend you avoid the Wee Curry Hoose in Poolewe - it was a complete waste of money. Good meals and value for money at the Myrtle Bank Hotel, and as with most places in the area, was also dog friendly.

Very spacious property with amazing views. “Wow” is the only word to describe the views from the living room! The description on the website and the photos don’t do this property justice - it is far more spacious and has an excellent “games room” on the top floor which the kids loved.
