Access to most areas is by a single track road which means you can take your time and absorb its turquoise seas, deserted white sandy beaches, crystal water lochs and far reaching forests, during your adventures in this part of Scotland.

Surrounded by Loch Sunart, Loch Shiel and Loch Linnhe you are spoilt for choice if you love your water sports as the Lochs are renowned for their stunning beauty - both on and off their clear pure waters. Activities such as kayaking, sailing, waterskiing, jet skiing and more are available to those who are looking for a little excitement and adventure. With some fantastic walking and cycling trails around the Lochs too, there is something for everyone.

If you are looking to plan in a few day trips during your stay, then the Isle of Mull is definitely worth the ferry ride. Offering a perfect island retreat you will not be disappointed with the endless stunning landscapes and the dramatic coastline that Mull displays. Or visit one of the pretty little towns that are dotted around the island to experience local island food and culture at its very best.

Lovely, comfy cottage in a great location. Very clean and well set out. Loved the Conservatory. Plenty to do and see in the area. Great for wildlife, especially in the garden. Pine martens and a badger visited every night. Garden could be better set out for wildlife photography purposes.

Beautiful cottage in peaceful surroundings. Stunning views through the valley on the road to the cottage from the ferry. Suggest buying a book for ferry crossings to save money. Couple of shops near by for basics. Only criticisms is that usb sockets are needed in this day and age, and WiFi hit and miss due to location.

An amazing fortnight at Braefoot Cottage, if youre looking for somewhere not too far off the beaten track but that has fantastic scenery and walking on the doorstep then this place is for you. Spotlessly clean with everything thing that you need for that well earned break. We were visited in the garden by the three most magnificent deer, 2 girls anRead mored a young fawn, most days and we even got plenty of visits from a pair of elusive but playful Pine Marten. Cafe in Strontian well worth a visit too. Hide

The cottage was clean and tidy on arrival. It is comfortable and spacious and we particularly liked the conservatory. It's only a short walk in to the centre of Stontian and location was a very good base to explore the area. We would highly recommend the cottage.
