“An amazing location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2007

person found this review helpful

A wonderful few days spent in a beautiful location. We had clear blue skies and views across to the islands. Having walked across to the island in the dark, we awoke to a misty morning looking across the loch, no one else in sight. Dry Island's also within easy reach of the Torridon hills, allowing us to combine days by the water with days in the hills.

We were made to feel very welcome and had a fantastic holiday.

“A wonderful place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2007

We stayed here for a week on a bed and breakfast basis and it was fantastic. The accomodation is situated on its own island in the middle of loch Gairloch, and is reached by a floating bridge.
The situation was idillic; the room was well furnished and comfortable with tea and coffee facilities (and had lots of information about local amenities); the welcome was excellent; and the breakfast kept us going for most of the day.
The families and couple staying on the self catering cottages also appeared to be having a wonderful break with good facilities.
This is an ideal place for walkers, wildlife enthusiasts, or those who just want a quiet break away (perhaps honeymooners), and is only 1 and half hours drive from inverness airport on mostly good roads (it looks further) but you do need a car to get there easily.
Due to its situation it would not be accessible for those with mobility issues.
