Located in a beautiful estate on the tranquil Wester Ross peninsula, this comfortable and welcoming property offers traditional and cosy accommodation for eight guests. This beautiful cottage makes an ideal holiday home for a larger family or small group seeking a fantastic holiday base. The holiday lodge is part of Applecross House and can be rented by larger groups in tandem with the neighbouring property, Faoilinn. The estate offers stunning views of the Cuillin Mountains of Skye and the hills of Raasay. Highland cattle can be found grazing in fields around the lodge and wild deer can often be spotted nearby.

Stepping inside this light, spacious and airy lodge you will find tastefully decorated and attractively furnished living areas, and a choice of cosy, comfortable bedrooms. For guests who have also booked the neighbouring cottage, an interconnecting passage joins the two properties.

Decorated in cool, neutral tones, the inviting lounge is an ideal space to relax in at the end of a great day, with plenty of comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a glass-fronted wood burner ideal for winter evenings. The bright and attractive dining room is a perfect space for sharing a special meal. You could also enjoy a snack or breakfast in the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner which features all the equipment you may need, including an oil-fired Rayburn and delightful country dining table. Two charming bedrooms can also be found on the ground floor: a single and a double, each with a delightful en-suite shower room. The ground floor also features a handy utility room and a WC.

Heading up to the first floor, there are two further bedrooms: a king-size bedroom and a triple room with three single beds. Please note these rooms do have quite low, sloping ceilings. There’s also a bathroom and an additional WC.

The lodge is set in the heart of the beautiful Applecross Estate, which extends for 260 square kilometres and features a wealth of beautiful woodlands, spectacular mountains, secluded beaches and stunning lochs. The popular Applecross Walled Garden and Restaurant (0.1 miles) nestles at the edge of Bealach na Ba, and offers a range of great food and drink. You can also head to the famous Applecross Inn (1 mile) which enjoys fabulous views over the Inner Sound of Raasay.

Really enjoyed staying at the property. The lovely stove in the kitchen was really cosy and added additional heat to the storage heaters used for heating around the house. We did find the wood burner also useful to boost the heat in the lounge and dining room which were rather nippy at times.

The cottage was lovely, the location was to die for and it comfortably slept our whole party of 8. The instructions were clear and there was a list of numbers for various amenities in the booklet. The WiFi was amazing also which was unexpected. The nearest place to shop for food is Lochcarron so make sure you stock up before going over the pass othRead moreerwise its a long drive back to get essentials. Were planning to come back in a year or two. Thank you. Hide

Perfect location, size and layout. An exceptional property in one of the most beautiful places in the world. We were a party of six and there was so much room. The kitchen was a joy to hang around in and the dinning room was a surprising hit. I can see why people return. Our daughter needed a hot water bottle, we rang and one appeared. Says it all!

Great house, great location. We particularly appreciated the wide range of walks on our doorstep, ranging from short and easy to more demanding 10 milers.
