Have just returned from a week at Dry Island and we were sorry to leave as it was a great experience. We were looking for something to do for a week in October and took a punt of this place based on the website and the comments on this website. As we were driving from Southampton we were kind of...

Amazing scenery, great walking, collecting our own mussels on Gairloch beach, eating Ian's wonderful langoustines.....we wanted a quiet retreat for Christmas and we got it. For a few days we were the sole ccupants of the island in Creel Cabin as Ian and Jess were away. The location could not be better. The cabin is comfortable - but don't expect... More

From the beginning when we saw our cottage and its location in real life, we knew it matched up to the website. We were very happy for the next 7 days, making this our base and doing great walks and drives around the area. The hosts Ian and Jess are kind and considerate - it was quiet, peaceful and beautiful... More

The bed and breakfast house is reached via a floating bridge from the lovely village of Badachro. The accommodation is great and you are made to feel very welcome and a hearty cooked Scottish breakfast awaits you in the morning. The... More

A wonderful few days spent in a beautiful location. We had clear blue skies and views across to the islands. Having walked across to the island in the dark, we awoke to a misty morning looking across the loch, no one else in sight. Dry Island's also within easy reach of the Torridon hills, allowing us to combine days by... More
