CREAGAN MHOR - LUXURY HIGHLAND HOME. IDEAL FOR FAMILY HOLIDAYS.
NEW ENQUIRIES FROM JUNE 2026
Creagan Mhor is a mile from the village of Glenelg, and is one of the most spectacularly positioned houses on the North Western Sea Board. This renovated 1865 Church Manse stands proudly at the top of the Sound of Sleat [Gaelic for smooth or even] a short Kayak ride from the wild and beautiful South Eastern side of Skye. The house looks down the Sound with breathtaking views of Skye, Gavin Maxwell’s Sandaig, Eigg, Rhum and Ardnamurchan point.
Creagan Mhor itself, set in nearly an acre of highland garden with access to the beach, from a gate in the garden, is marked on Admiralty maps, as occasional ships and yachts make their slow but steady progress through one of the most stunning waterways on earth, South or North towards Rhona, Kyle and Applecross and beyond. Creagan Mhor [meaning large rock, which you can’t miss on the beach] is situated half way between the village and the original ferry to Skye, the house is quite simply unique. Lovingly renovated to a high standard, it is warm, spacious, friendly, bright - and magical.

Glorious Week at Creagan Mhor - July 2026
We are a family of 6 adults, 2 babies, and 1 very well-behaved Golden Retriever, and we spent a glorious week at Creagan Mhor. We cannot recommend this beautiful house and its stunning setting in the Highlands of Scotland highly enough.
Tina has thought of everything, and the house was well equipped with all we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Iain, who is nearby and looks after everything, could not have been more helpful.
We arrived to a beautiful basket of goodies and clear, simple instructions for our stay, which made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The kitchen is a wonderful space for a family to cook, mingle, and enjoy time together. There was plenty of everything, and whatever we thought of seemed to be there already, making cooking and feeding the babies and all of us so easy.
All of the beds were incredibly comfortable, and I do not think I have ever slept so well. Waking each morning to the most beautiful sea view was truly special. The weather was also a welcome relief from the heat of London, and we spent our days walking, skimming stones, and swimming in the sea, all within walking distance of this beautiful house.
Two trips to the Isle of Skye on the ferry filled the little ones with delight, and even our retriever, Darcey, enjoyed the ferry ride and running on the beach on the island. She was not quite so keen on the seals, but we were amazed to see them basking in the sea in their natural habitat.
Two visits to the local Pub for our evening meal (Glenelg Inn) was in walking distance and so very friendly. The food was delicious and gave us a welcomed break from cooking.
Sipping G&Ts in the evening in the large, pretty lounge was a highlight on many nights. Anyone coming here for a peaceful and relaxing break will not be disappointed. There is nothing we can think of that would make this wonderful place any more special.
Our saddest moment came when it was time to leave. It was such a happy time bringing together our sons, their partners, and the children, with plenty of room for us all to enjoy both privacy and precious family time together.
All we can say is thank you for allowing us to spend this time in your special home. It truly is a home from home.
With our Love and Thanks, The Sullivan’s
