Solas Alainn Chalet - a detached house that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

10/10 Excellent
"This was one of our favourite stays in the UK. Incredible views and a clean, well-stocked home with everything we needed. Including a travel crib, high chair, and a couple of stuffed animals for our child. The sky lights were great for star gazing too. The host stopped by to introduce himself and was very kind as well. Would definitely recommend."

"Charming place to stay - beautifully overlooking the water. Very limited parking and difficult to get into especially if you have to park in the lower lot. We were only given hand soap for the bathroom - no shampoo, body wash or conditioner."

"This property is lovely and located in an amazing spot! The price is fair especially compared to other accomodations available in the area. These hosts are kind and responsive and they clearly care about their home away from home. Plus, there is a lovely hike just down the lane and a coffee stop a few minutes up the road. Highly recommend this experience!"
