Fantastic location, views are amazing, the hot tub was an extra bonus and so relaxing! The cabin is so cute and has everything you need. The bridge over to the island is out of this world and adds to the excitement of staying on your very own island. Had such a relaxing few days away and can't wait to book again next year.

Location is impressive with great views. Access is difficult - 0.26 miles from car over uneven steps, slippery path and tree roots and wet rocks. When we arrived, property was not clean - empty cider cans and smoking items on floor, rugs unswept, plates stuck together with food remnants. Shower cubicle has large areas of black mould. Door missing iRead morento hallway. Settee very worn and broken. Safety issues including out-of-date/uncharged fire extinguisher. Booked a week and stayed one night. Hide

The cottage is everything it promises to be. After packing at the top of the cliff and walking our way down the path and across the wobbly bridge we were shown to our private cottage. All rooms clean, well maintained and a decent size. Plenty of outside space, a lovely private hottub with views over the Loch. We had seals visit the rocks outside thRead moree cabin every single day except 1, lots of different birds. There is lots to do in the nearby villages od Badachro and Gairloch as well as to explore.

Otter/Creel Cabin is in the most amazing location sitting as it does looking out over loch and smaller islands. We were very fortunate to have a week of sunshine but I think even without it would be a lovely place to chill out gazing at the view and watching the seals in the loch and hauled out on the rocks. We didnt see otters but did see Sea EaglRead moree from our front step. Brilliant week. Hopefully we will return. Hide

Just the most amazing location! The cabin looks right out over the water, where we were able to sit and watch baby seals playing and loads of different birds. Such a special place for a relaxing holiday

Creel cabin is beautifully peaceful and has stunning views. The cabin is also warm and cosy, even during a bit of foul winter weather. Well fitted out and looked after it was a real pleasure to escape to Dry Island. The owners are very welcoming and we felt very much at ease sharing their family island space with them. A brilliant place to escape dRead moreaily life in a great location. Hide
