Guests say
Loch Long View is a well-received cottage praised for its stunning location, spaciousness, and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the tranquility, amazing views, and the property's suitability as a base for exploring NW Scotland. While most experiences are positive, a few guests noted areas for improvement in maintenance and facilities.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-kept, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, one review mentioned the need for a more thorough clean, and another reported encounters with mice and voles, slightly lowering the score.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its peace, quiet, and breathtaking views over Loch Long. It serves as an excellent base for visiting local attractions, including Skye and Applecross.
Guests describe the cottage as warm, spacious, and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen. However, one review cited a lack of certain amenities, such as fireside tools and side tables, which suggests room for improvement.
The property is generally seen as well-equipped, but some guests felt that the facilities did not meet expectations for the price, mentioning issues like a dirty cooker hood, cheap cutlery, and insufficient tableware. Maintenance issues such as mouldy showers and loose taps were also noted.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Private parking for 4 cars. No smoking. Please note: The property has a natural water supply. There are 3 steps and slopes in the garden. Sorry, no hen or stag parties.. Loch Long View sits in a commanding position high above the water on its own spacious plateau, with far reaching views of the loch and surrounding mountains. The cottage has been thoughtfully constructed with an exterior of Siberian larch, which has aged beautifully and compliments the dark green framed windows. Set within a 500-acre croft, there are sheep and Highland cows roaming the hillsides, as well as lots of other wildlife including red deer, pine marten and a variety of eagles. There is plenty of space around the cottage and a large garden. At the back of the house and up the hill is an unfenced loch, home to brown trout.
The interior has French oak flooring throughout. On the ground floor there is a dual-aspect kitchen with lots of natural light and views along the length of Loch Long. The large living room has a grand wood burner to cosy up infront of, and there is a bathroom also on the ground floor.
The French oak continues to flow up to the first floor, and with the abundance of natural light, works really well giving the two bedrooms a very spacious and calming feel, especially as the windows act as frames featuring the surrounding Highland landscape. Both the master bedroom and the twin bedroom, have unsurpassed views along the loch and the mountains. There is a bathroom between the bedrooms leading off the large landing.
Loch Long View is perfectly placed to explore the Isle of Skye with the bridge across to the island only 10 minutes’ away by car. Wester Ross with its highlights of Applecross and Torridon for more mountains and secluded coastline are also close by. Shop, pub and restaurant 3½ miles.

This property is in a truly amazing location. You ascend to the property to be greeted by wonderful views over Loch Long. The cottage is warm & spacious with everything we needed for our stay. This is our second time visiting the property & we just love everything about it. We can't wait to come back again.

Lovely stay in a very beautiful setting. Welcoming host and great location near to Skye and other nice spots along the west coast. The house was spacious with a well equipped kitchen and amazing views across the loch.
