A lovely cottage in a great location for wonderful views of the loch and hills.Also seals on the nearby rocks, herons and maybe an otter. The picture constantly changed, could of spent all week just looking out the windows. Great living room and well equipped kitchen diner, plenty of beds and bathrooms. Nice table outside and quite quiet as it is hidden from the main road. Ideal for exploring Lochalsh and Skye.

What a lovely property that has everything you need and is in a fantastic location, the views are second to none. We had a very relaxing holiday and would definately book again. the garage shop carries everything you could need, as does the Spar a couple of miles away.

This is our 4th holiday at Loch Duich Cottage - we love the area and the cottage is in a wonderful location. There has been a refurb since our last visit 4 years ago - some good, some not so good. The kitchen and new furniture were lovely but was grateful for step as some cupboards very high! As we travel with a wheelchair the ramp to the front door is excellent but the addition of some very thick rugs in rooms and hallways made it much harder to move around the house. Easily dealt with during our stay though.The main thing we missed was any instructions for the house (white goods, tv - dvd cable missing - WiFi code) - it felt as though the instruction booklet was missing and also there was no visitors book.We did have a wonderful holiday - the very cold weather (in May!) meant that we were very cosy in the cottage and able to enjoy the view from the windows in comfort. Would definitely recommend to others.
