Gables Cottage is warm welcoming and well equiped with comfortable beds and good quality bedding. The views are amazing (maybe cut back the willows?) and we were lucky to have... read more beautiful weather and amazing sunsets. Linda was most welcoming with treats left for us and the table set. I was recommended Gables Cottage by a friend who had stayed previously and was not disappointed. A lovely cottage in a splendid location.

  We love the Achiltibuie/Polbain area (our second visit) with such amazing scenery. We are outdoors people so spent our time exploring the area. It has everything beaches, walks, fishing ,mountains... read more and a few great local restaurants with local seafood. Or you can cook yourself after buying from the weekly fish van. The cottage is very cosy and well appointed. Beds comfortable, decent bath and separate shower. The kitchen has everything you need and Linda had even left the table made (with proper napkins - that's a first) and a gift of jam. The weather was warm (although lots of rain) and we spent most of our time when we were at the cottage in the conservatory which has stunning views over the Summer Isles. When the weather was nice we used the garden which was also enclosed (meaning our dog could roam around).

  My parents had a long weekend here, and absolutely loved it! House was very comfortable and location ideal. Fantastic views from the house! Very kind and helpful hosts - took... read more many extra steps to ensure my parents had a fantastic long weekend - thank you!

  Immaculately clean throughout and a well-furnished kitchen. If you contact the locale store in Achilitibuie, which we did, they can arrange to deliver food before you arrive - and it... read more was so nice to come to the end of our drive up and find the wine chilling in the fridge and the shelves full of local produce.

In terms of 21st C appliances each room has ample power sockets so there's no fighting over who gets to recharge what first as can happen on holidays! Internet was faster than expected for the area, and the cottage is well covered by wifi though in the farthest bedroom from the router the signal does drop a bit in strength. Television picture too was clear, and used occasionally when the weather obscured the view from the windows out across the bay.

Central heating throughout so no matter the winds blowing outside the interior remains comfortable. There's a great view covering a few of the Summer Isles and the building itself is distant enough from the nearest neighbour for the quiet only to be broken by sheep and cows in the nearby fields.

I can't recommend it highly enough.

  We had the most amazing 4 nights at the Gables. When we arrived we were blown away by the location. As others mention, the conservatory is perfect for sitting gazing... read more out at the gorgeous views of the Summer Isles..and it’s heated so even when the suns not out it’s lovely and toasty! The house is lovely- super comfy beds and very clean and tidy. This is literally the best dog friendly place we’ve stayed in. Apart from friendly touches like the dog bowls, you wouldn’t know dogs had been there, it’s that tidy!!

Linda had left some delicious home made jam and shortbread and the worlds best Easter Brownies - which were perfect energy replacements on the local walks!

The location is about 10 min walk from Auchiltibuie, Where there is a Shop and a nice hotel for food. For lunches in the piping cafe are great and again very dog friendly.

The cottage has everything you would need in the kitchen, soap, big fluffy towels and great views from all rooms!

Nearby behind the cottage is a lovely walk up Fairie hill, and we really enjoyed Inverkirkcaig waterfalls and the fantastic Stac Pollaidh.

All in All a great holiday! Thanks Linda- we’ll be back!!

  A very comfortable cottage, generously furnished and equipped. We had a fantastic time despite wet and windy weather. Linda was a wonderful host. We will be back!
