All in Grinills is a really nice place to stay if you want to get away from it all . The view from the lounge is fantastic, even in poor weather - which we did experience! and most days you can get a good view of Skye. The local beach is a stones throw away and really nice as hardly anyone gets down there. House itself is very well equipped with pretty much every gadget or appliance you could need and the selection of board games came in very handy on the wet day we had.Gairloch is only about 20 minutes away down a single track road and offers really all you need for a top up of groceries or the occasional take away.Definitely recommend this house and would stay here again

Our stay at Grinills was fantastic. The bungalow was very clean, with everything could need equipment Wise. The bedrooms were a good size. The living room window was huge, and the view was amazing. All in all, it was a beautiful bungalow and made our holiday perfect. Given the chance we will be back.
