The location of Kelpie Cabin proved to be ideal for enjoyable walks and for appreciating the beauty of the Island. The Cabin was very comfortable and the care and kindness of owners Sue and Neil (plus dog Peigi) ensured we had an enjoyable stay.

We would be very happy to return. David & Angela.

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin very much. It was heaven to fall asleep in the cosy warmth of the stove and to wake up to the sight of the sheep, hens and rabbits frolicking around. Sue and Neil were very helpful, either to point out the right way to the singing sands or to help us understand the subtleties of the ferry schedule. A wonderful stay in a wonderful place!

We had a great time on Eigg and the cabin was cosy and comfortable,everything you needed was there.Lovely wood burner, nice porch where you could sit and enjoy the views and dry your wet gear. Sue and Neil were great hosts and there when you needed them also their dog Peggie who was great company.

We had a wonderful stay of four nights at the cabin. Of our trip to Scotland, our time on Eigg in the cabin is what our kids have identified as the favorite part of the trip. It was small but very functional for the four of us (two parents, a 7yo and 9yo). The kitchen worked very well for making meals, the little porch accommodated wet footwear as well as providing a place to sip tea while looking at the bay and the cliffs.

We had a little trouble with the fireplace, both getting the wood to burn cleanly and with winds off the pay sometimes pushing smoke down into the cabin. That was really our only complaint, though. You do have to get used to the composting toilet, but that was a minor thing as it was very well designed and had almost no odor at all.

A wonderful stay in the cabin. Aside from the fantastic location, it was clean, cosy, comfortable and very well equipped. The perfect place to come back to after a day out hiking, cycling or a sea dip! The shower room was a welcome addition and we were very grateful for the help with our bags at arrival/departure. Thank you!
