Fabulous House with Stunning Sea Views to Skye. By NTS gardens. Great Privacy.

Standing above Lochalsh in its own secluded grounds and surrounded by the National Trust for Scotland woodland gardens. South facing and in a magnificent setting with wonderful views of sea and the mountains of Skye rising to over 1000m. Although extremely private, lying along its own track of around 300m, it is only 3-4 minutes by car to Kyle of Lochalsh which has a railway station (the scenic railway line to Inverness really is world famous!) a bank, shops and an excellent supermarket. There is also a smaller supermarket and Post Office about a mile away. Our garden has a large lawn and is planted with Magnolias and mature species Rhododendrons from Bhutan, China and Nepal and which flower from February until August.
Doubled glazed with fitted carpets throughout; night storage heating and wood/coal burning stoves; both off-peak and instant electric hot water. If you want to keep in touch, we offer free Fast Fibre Wireless broad band WiFi. It is a wonderful location with great privacy. The skies above us in winter are ink-black and intoxicating - perfect for star-gazing! (when did you last see the Milky Way .....?!)

Disappointing
Description of the view and surrounding area is accurate. However, the house is musty and damp, and cold. The bathroom downstairs is inconvenient with all the bedrooms upstairs, particularly if you have mobility issues. You have to be able to lift your leg about 2 feet in order to get into the bathtub. However, hot showers were great. The faucets in the bathroom and kitchen sinks are not mixed, so you either scald your hands or freeze them. And, the kitchen left much to be desired. Indeed, the fridge, stove and microwave were good, but the kitchen is very old and run down and the kitchen sink is very stained. And, I spent half an hour cleaning the coffee maker filter and filter holder before we could use them with confidence. Much to be done to make this property adequate for airb&b. I will not stay there again, and will not recommend it to friends.

Peaceful, short stay
We only stayed for 3 nights but enjoyed our time. We easily commuted to Skye each day for wonderful hiking, returning to a cozy home by the water. Anna was wonderful, there was an issue with the internet, we didn’t even know was a problem until she reached out with a plan to have it fixed. Before we returned from hiking she had dispatched her local contact to fix the issue. We loved the efforts Anna took to maintain the original feel of the home, while updating where necessary - best shower!!! Thank you for having us.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Exterior was inviting. All ended at front door. Interior looks like it was Furnished from Salvation Army on a bad day. Bathroom on ground floor, all bedrooms one flight up. Majorly inconvenient. Downstairs rooms cold all the time. 4 channels of BBC is not having TV. No other good reception. We’ve stayed at small boutique hotels for less. There should be honesty in advertising. This was a major disappointment.

our Holiday retreat!
A learning experience with electrical appliances and heaters. My sister and I figured it out trial and error we perservered. The old wood fire stove was nice. the space heaters were not efficient enough in the upstairs. Luckily we are hearty women with camping knowledge . Beautiful spot. Very quiet , serene , private.

Had a pleasant week
Blythswood is a comfortable and homely cottage with stunning views in a peaceful location. The lounge and dining room had fabulous views and were very comfortable. We enjoyed being able to walk down to the loch and to access the Lochalsh Woodland walks. It is also a very convenient location for getting out and about to different places. The kitchen was dated but clean and well equipped although some of the equipment did seem a tad shabby and would benefit from replacing eg the plates & bowls were fine, but the mugs were just a random mixture of old and well used ones, as was the cutlery. The bathroom was fine for us, but older, less mobile people may struggle getting in and out of the bath for a shower as it is quite high up. The access track and gateweay felt quite narrow and initially slightly unnerving. However, we enjoyed our stay and would return .
