  • Lovely enclosed garden perfect for spending a warm summer's evening
Property code: OC-CA137

Just a few minutes' walk from the beautiful Big Sands beach, you will have access to golden sand, blue waters and magnificent views of the mountains of Skye and Torridon as well as some of the most unforgettable sunsets over the Hebrides. The village of Gairloch is just 6miles away and is perfect for seeking out the day's activities and finding somewhere lovely to dine - from the harbour you can head out on whale watching tours, hop in a glass-bottom boat or a fast rib and explore the open water and the wildlife around. Within the village, you will also be able to find a nine-hole golf course, pony trekking and even a fabulous museum. Alongside all of this, and the fabulous hills and coastal walks around, you will certainly not be short of activities to do throughout your stay.

Sitting in its own private area, this beautiful cottage is great for a small family or couples' getaway and has flexible accommodation to suit all requirements. The living room is accessed separately from the two bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom via an outside door; this means that each member of the party can have their own privacy when needed. The living room has large windows on two sides giving you magnificent views out to the countryside beyond, as well as making the space feel lovely and open and bright. Heading out the door to the other side of this property, you will then find a modern kitchen that is well equipped for cooking up a feast, as well as two beautifully finished bedrooms and large bathroom.

The beautiful private garden is fully enclosed and has its own garden furniture so you can enjoy a sunrise breakfast or an evening dining alfresco with the rest of your party.

Very comfortable and clean cottage in wonderful setting. No wifi but good phone WiFi and signal. Popping outside to living room takes 2 seconds, is funny and well worth it as the living room is really comfortable and has a great view. With the sea so close and the Torridon mountains near by its a great place to stay.

A comfortable cottage in a quiet location. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable good sized bedrooms. Accessing the lounge from outside was something new and a bit of a challenge in heavy rain but not enough to detract from our stay.

If you're looking for peace & quiet, remoteness & beautiful scenery, this quirky little croft is for you. The kitchen has everything you'll need. The beds are really comfortable. The living room offers some stunning views with windows to 3 sides. Cosy & warm in the winter, you can watch as the storms roll in as we did over the festive period this CRead morehristmas & New Year. We were lucky enough to see some wild deer/stags in the pasture to the side on 2 occasions! We had a lovely Welcome Pack too Hide

This is a quirky but comfortable property with reasonable provision and facilities. It is in a lovely location and was perfect for us for a week of exploring the local area. Would I return? Probably yes.
