Lovely and secluded home

This is an older, historic home with lovely views of the lake. The home was well appointed and was great for our 3 days. Would definitely recommend it.

Great Views and location

This renovated cottage would be best for a family rather than elder adults. We found the stairs daunting and the tub unsafe climbing in and out. All the furnishings are adequate , some updating to the lounge furniture, beds, pillows would certainly enhance the stay. Access to the closet in the second bedroom would help. The one call to the manager was never returned. Once we found our way in, the quiet, peaceful setting was greatly appreciated.

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.

Lovely location but...

The view of the loch is stunning and the house does have decent wifi speed but frequently refused to work with iPad and it didn't work with Kindles at all). The standard of equipment is not what we expected at this price point, nor would we normally expect to provide linens and towels (the owner did provide bedlinens in the end as ours did not fit the bed). The downstairs bathroom/toilet was inconvenient and the plumbing needs an overhaul. There is a damp feel to the property even during the heatwave we experienced. There are also no provisions for enjoying the garden (which while pleasant is behind the property and does not enjoy the view), no proper garden chairs or table and no BBQ.

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.

Beautiful location, dated property.

The location of this property is nothing short of spectacular. The property however was disappointing. The owners have tried to maintain the property in the light of its age but sadly the world has moved on since the 1960's. The downstairs bathroom and toilet are a bit daunting if needed in the middle of the night and the single facility for potentially 6 people required one to form an organised line for ablutions. The kitchen was of its time with the feeling generally was that one had gone back in time. As mentioned the location is wonderful and that does help explain the price but I think a makeover is required and the presence of a toilet upstairs should be considered essential. The owners were really informative about the surrounding area with many suggestions of things to do and visit and where to eat and drink. Perhaps they have tried to maintain the 50's feel and in this I think they have succeeded. The house was in no way damp but there was a musty smell all through the house despite the use of night storage heaters and the log burners. One appreciates that the remote location makes modern facilities such as dish washers and central heating a challenge, however, it would be lovely to have the facilities that matched and complimented the natural surroundings.

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 .

Blythswood Cottage July 2019

Great property and location. Just as expected. However the beds were very uncomfortable for a weeks stay! The mattresses were thin and the double beds low and creaky! The one bathroom downstairs is an inconvenience, but we knew it would be when we booked. We would love to book again if new good quality beds are to be provided.
