Simply stunning. You couldn’t wish for a more perfect place to spent 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!

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!

The Sheiling, was like a home from home in a beautiful location, every need anticipated and catered for. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would recommend it to anyone.

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!! 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

We had an amazing stay at the Sheiling. Beautiful view of beach from the livingroom 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!

We had a great time at The Sheliing at Back of Keppoch. This lovely bungalow is located in a very quiet position about 3kms outside of Arisaig with wonderful, uninterrupted views looking over to Skye, Eigg and Rum.
Everything you need for a comfortable holiday is provided by the owners. The cottage has 3 bedrooms and a living room which offers amazing views over to the islands and unforgettable sunsets. A welcome pack was provided listing all the local attraction and details of many walks around the area, allowing us to easily plan excursions.
A great location for exploring the beautiful surrounding area, Loch Morar and the lovely beaches of Silver Sands a short drive or cycle away. There is a small supermarket in Arisaig and a larger one in Mallaig. 
An unforgettable experience staying in such a  beautiful location in a lovely cottage. We can’t wait to return.

We were lucky enough to have use of this wonderful home for our first ever visit to Arisaig. Homely, spacious, fully furnished, well equip and considerately run, this beautiful home from home truly is a wonderful place of rest and fabulous base from which to explore the surrounding gems. Beaches, walks, sunsets, day trips and memory making, at their best, all await. We were not disappointed and are already looking forward to our next trip later this year. Many thanks Watt family.

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.

Our favourite things – beautiful views, clean home, comfy beds, washer and dryer, feeding the chickens, leaving a drawing/message on the board, the beaches nearby, the food at the Arisaig Hotel/Bar, the Arisaig Highland Games, the homemade jam and tablet gifted to us by our hosts.
