Description

Comfortable and beautifully furnished cottage; L shaped lounge/ dining room with picture windows giving magnificent views over the sea and Skye, Harris and Lewis. Enjoy private beach access and the unique location of the cottage means you can see Basking sharks, Whales and Seals from the comfort of the cottage.

This cottage is used by the Whale & Dolphin conservation society, for marine and land based surveys.

The Beinn Eighe Reserve and the Torridon Mountains are just a short distance away. This is the perfect place if you are looking for outdoor activities including walking, bird watching, fishing, kayaking and whale-watching!.

The Scottish Highlands include the rugged and mountainous regions of Scotland north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault. The Highlands are popularly described as one of the most scenic regions of Europe. The area is generally sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the region.

Gairloch (Geàrrloch in Gaelic) is a small village on the shores of Loch Gairloch on the Northwest coast of Scotland.

Fishermen will be pleased to hear that there is a choice of salmon, sea trout, brown trout, pike, and sea fishing. You can also take falconry courses, or go and visit the deer museum after some deerstalking! For the adventurous, there are plenty of opportunities for climbing, kayaking, pony trekking, whale-watching trips or even boat trips to view Viking graves on Loch Maree or the puffin colony on the Shiant Islands. Alternatively visit the famous Inverewe gardens.

This wide open expanse offers magnificent sunsets. ... read more »hide »
