Guests say
Coast House is highly praised for its stunning sea views, peacefulness, and wildlife encounters. Guests appreciate the quality furnishings, well-equipped kitchen, and the property's cleanliness. The location offers easy access to beaches and walking opportunities, with many finding it a perfect base for exploring the Highlands. The house is described as comfortable, spacious, and a 'home from home', with several guests planning return visits.
Reviews consistently mention the property being clean and well-presented. One isolated report of cobwebs and stained carpets suggests a minor lapse, but overall, the high standard of cleanliness is evident.
The location is universally lauded for its stunning views, privacy, and proximity to local amenities and beaches. The peaceful setting and wildlife sightings contribute to its high rating, despite some comments on increased traffic due to popularity.
Guests find the house warm, comfortable, and well-appointed with quality bedding and furnishings. A few comments on mattress comfort suggest room for improvement, but the overall sentiment is extremely positive.
The property is praised for its well-equipped kitchen and utility room, though there are suggestions for additional information on appliance use. Some guests experienced issues with hot water and Wi-Fi, which slightly impacts the score.
While many reviews express gratitude for the hospitality and mention feeling welcome, there is no specific reference to gifts or special touches that would fall under 'thoughtfulness'. Therefore, this score is set to null.
About this property
This delightful detached cottage is situated in the hamlet of Second Coast, two miles from the larger village of Laide in the Wester Ross region of Scotland. With stunning sea and mountain views, this lovely cottage is an ideal base for a family or group of friends and provides a great Scottish getaway. After taking in the wonderful views, you enter this superb holiday home via French doors into a modern kitchen/diner which also has a small sitting area from where you can soak up the views whilst enjoying a morning coffee, or cold drink in the evening. From here you go through into the homely sitting room with a woodburning stove that will keep you warm on winter days. Theres no better way to relax after a busy day than to light the stove and to forget about the hustle and bustle of daily life. Completing the ground floor is a double bedroom and a shower room.

The twin bedroom has a seating area and the master king-size double also has a seating area, along with a dressing room and an en-suite shower room.

The cottage was well-equipped, with comfortable seating and beds. We had a couple of issues with plumbing, but Isabel got those sorted out quickly. Would definitely like to return and strongly recommend Coast House very strongly!
