This home is set on the Applecross Estate, owned by The Applecross Trust, that comprises some 26,000 hectares of stunningly beautiful mountains, beaches, woodlands, lochs and rivers, from Loch Torridon in the north to Loch Kishorn in the south. Guests have access to many walks from the door and as well as three excellent restaurants and a pub within a couple of miles.

Applecross is a peninsula with a fascinating Gaelic history and a brilliantly preserved heritage in the form of many archaeological and historical sites of interest. There is an abundance of trails and routes to choose from, including a short woodland trail between Sea Bridge and Home Bridge following the southern bank of the stunning River Crossan. Alternatively, the smooth-surfaced Beechwood Trail path passes the Holy Well and provides the best foot access to the bay and glen area from the south, and offers outstanding views westwards beyond an old stone fish trap to Raasay.

For an exciting adventure, pay a visit to the Mountain and Sea Guides based in Applecross, less than a mile from the property. They offer activities for everyone all year round, from sea kayaking, climbing, mountain walking, gorge walking in the summer to mountaineering and safety training in the winter.

We loved Applecross - a fantastic haven, with the excitement of the Bealach na Ba and then the beautiful shoreline. We loved this cottage just as much: it was clean, nicely decorated and much more spacious than we expected. We loved watching the deer walk past the window as we ate dinner. Lovely place.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. There were fewer midges than we were expecting, but still remember your midge spray! Lots of great options for walks, cycles and painting locations.

Faolinn is a great place to stay, very quiet, well equipped, and cosy, yet only a short walk from great places to eat and drink. There are fabulous walks around the estate and further afield. Can't recommend it too highly

Great property and location, with wide range of walks from doorstep - from very short and easy to more demanding 10-milers. We loved the walled garden - for wandering around, sitting reading a book and an excellent meal on our final night. Our group had both adjoining properties which gave a real feeling of spaciousness.

Warm and comfortable cottage in a fabulous location. It's fun to watch the deer strolling past the window and there are gorgeous walks right from the door including along the river, a walk to Coral Bay is lovely too.
