Simply stunning. You couldn’t wish for a more perfect place to spend with your dogs. A well-fenced garden with stunning views, only a hop and a skip to the sea. Wonderful beaches within easy reach that wouldn’t be out of place in the Caribbean. Lovely walks with the Harry Potter train just up the road in Mallaig. Super restaurants, with probably the best fish and chips at the Crofters Rest in Arisaig. More delicious food at The Old Library also in Arisaig.

The cottage is lovely and had everything you would wish for with lovely views for all the rooms, particularly the living room with its enormous window looking out to the garden and beyond.

We loved our stay, despite the weather, which wild and windy to say the least. We will certainly be back!

Amazing house with everything you need. Dog friendly and lots of exploring for kids. The beds are super comfy. The views are pretty spectacular and the neighbours’ cows and chickens and rooster like to pay a visit.

A fabulous cottage based in a perfect position. Impeccably clean, lovely furnishings and bedding and a really well equipped kitchen. Communication was brilliant and we were put at ease from start to finish. Highly recommended.

We loved your house and had a fantastic stay, it was a real home from home and had everything we needed and more. We loved the dog goodies, the tags were a lovely touch and felt our dog was welcome. Looking forward to coming back.

Comfortable, clean and well located property with a lovely walk into Arisaig village. The sitting room window gives spectacular views to the Red and Black Cuillins of Skye, Rhum hills, Eigg and also Muck. We had great weather with magnificent sunsets from that same window. The Arora borealis performed the two nights before we arrived.

We have just spent a peaceful, relaxing week at The Sheiling. It is a lovely, light filled home, very clean and seems much more spacious than in the photos. We stayed in March when it was cold outside, but the heating system was very efficient and so the house was always nice and warm. The sitting room has comfy sofas for relaxing and a big window to enjoy the view and the sunset. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking. We slept in the King Room and the bed was very comfortable, with good linens and pillows. The location of the property has a good open view North and so we were able to photograph the Aurora from the garden of the property. We also saw Deer in the neighbouring garden and lots of garden birds. It was an easy walk into Arisaig and a very short drive to the beautiful beaches for which this area is renowned. Finally, Alison is a really good host, very responsive and cares about her guests. Communication was excellent. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

A comfortable, clean house, walking distance to Arisaig. Beautiful sea view from the large sitting room window with Skye, Rhum, Eigg and Muck all visible. Great sunsets with chance to see aurora borealis.

We had a great short break at the Sheiling! Alison is a great host. She is very responsive and gave clear and detailed information. Her house is beautiful and we felt right at home. The house is equipped well with all amenities mentioned. She also has a great collection of books and board games for all ages.
The beach is just down the road with scenic views from the living room. Will surely plan another visit in the summer. Thank you for everything!

Outstanding self-catering holiday home, perfect location. The house is very comfortable, clean and well-equipped. We had an amazing week despite the awful weather and all fell in love both with The Sheilling and the location. We are a family with two additional needs boys one is a teenager and the other a toddler, they had the best time exploring all the beaches and villages! Great base for exploring from we managed a trip to Knoydart and Skye during our stay. Planning to return in the future to explore more.

Amazing!!!! So homely and comfy. There was even consideration for my dogs, enclosed garden and a goody box with essential things you may forget. I absolutely loved it and would highly recommend anyone to stay.

The location was fabulous just a short walk away from a few beautiful beaches! The cottage itself was clean, well furnished and very, comfortable with plenty of room. The enclosed garden was great for our dogs, also enjoyed seeing the neighbouring farm animals! We also had a chat with one of the few neighbours and they were really nice and welcoming to the area! Our host was very helpful before arriving with regards to check in, local amenities and trips etc. I can honestly say there were no negatives!

Absolutely loved The Shieling and all it has to offer. Perfect location, perfect size and cosiness, perfect bedding and beds, perfect view and everything provided. We have had a bit a of hit and miss week with the weather and The Shieling just provided that warm haven when we were soaked through. We loved coming back to it each day. We all slept well. The WiFi was great which teens appreciated.

Not too close to any busy hustle and bustle so was a lovely peaceful retreat. Yet was still close enough to shops, activities, boat trips and all the wonderful beaches in the area. The dog loved all the extras provided for her and she especially liked the chickens whom she tried to befriend, wagging her tail at from the garden. All in all we have stayed in many places over our travels but this place is at the top for all it provides and at a fair price. We will be back for sure!

We loved our stay in the Sheiling. What a view from the living room! I loved waking up to go and sit here with my breakfast in the mornings. We got really lucky with the weather but outside seemed to be really sheltered too. All rooms were really nice and clean and the kitchen had everything we needed.

This was our first trip home in 5 years, and our first in decades to visit the village of Arisaig. Our stay was just perfect! The cottage was conveniently located close to the village but far enough away to give the sense of seclusion that we were looking for. The property is warm and welcoming, spacious and fully equipped. It has the most stunning views from all aspects. Talk about a room with a view… you won’t be disappointed! We are already planning our next trip!! 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

Whilst only a short stay, we would recommend The Sheiling to our friends and family. A very comfortable, warm and well-located site for visits to surrounding countryside.

We had an amazing stay at the Sheiling. Beautiful view of beach from the living room and garden seats. Wonderful to sit and watch the sky changing as the sun set over the small isles. The house is very cosy and has been lovingly equipped. If you have forgotten something, I guarantee its already here – spare phone charger, games, even a sewing kit. The location is perfect, between Arisaig and the Traigh beaches. Teenage kids can be hard to please but they loved it here, especially the beaches and the local chickens 😀 We really could have stayed here forever, thank you for an incredible holiday!

The Sheiling is one of the most comfortable and relaxing holiday cottages to spend time amid the stunning landscape of the Western Highlands & Islands. Much thanks goes to Alison & Ewan for allowing us to their beautiful home and help refresh our wellbeing.

The Shelling was a very comfortable and pleasant place to stay, we have had a lovely week. It was perfectly located near the coast and in a beautiful part of the West Highlands. A good base for exploring some of the surrounding small Isles, and Lochs. We had rain most days but still found something to do every day. It was a real treat when we had a visit in the near field from 4 stags on our last night and the next morning.
