Tucked away on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula and offering complete privacy is this traditional and quaint little house situated on a Highland working hill farm. Its setting is remote, wild and rugged and reflects what life is like in the countryside, on a true Highland farming estate. There are some fantastic walks on the estate, taking you along the shorelines of lochs, over hills and through forests and meadows whilst being able to take in the beautiful surrounding scenery.

This area of Scotland’s northwest coast is accessed by the Corran ferry and is wild and relatively untouched with lots to still discover and explore. This property provides the perfect base to do just that! From here you will be able to reach some of the most pretty and remote parts of west Scotland, knowing that you have this warm and comfortable house to return home to each day.

The accommodation is situated all on one level and feels homely and welcoming with its warm and inviting traditional soft furnishings. The open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area is light and spacious with a breakfast bar to entertain family and friends whilst you’re cooking dinner. This room offers a friendly family atmosphere with a woodburner to snuggle up around, warming your hands and toes after a day's exploring. As you walk down the hall there are two spacious double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, one twin bedroom and the family bathroom.

Outside the property you can sit and relax in your own private enclosed garden, overlooked only by the surrounding Highland wildlife and nature. With views towards Loch Linnhe and Garbh Bheinn you will be able to escape for hours just watching the natural beauty of the Highlands pass you by.

Situated on the Ardnamurchan Peninisula, this property is perfectly placed to visit the most north westerly part of what Scotland has to offer. The location is stunning with glorious views towards lochs and mountains, giving you the encouragement and opportunity to get out into the wild outdoors.

The village of Ardour (3.5 miles) is a pretty little fishing village and the place where visitors can catch the ferry on and off the Peninsula. It has a small selection of shops and some lovely walks through the woodland of the Ardgour Estate. Just outside the village is a lovely sandy beach at Sallachan, perfect for a picnic and a dip in Loch Linnhe if you're feeing brave!

From Ardour you could catch the ferry and then drive up to Fort William (15 miles), a vibrant busy little town surrounded by some of Scotland's best known and loved mountains including Ben Nevis. It offers a huge variety of outdoor pursuits, restaurants, shops, bars and cafes to chose from, not to mention some of the most stunning scenery there is in Scotland.

Or why not catch a ferry over to the enchanting Inner Hebridean island of Mull with its incredible landscape to explore? Mull is the fourth largest of the Scottish islands and has miles of breathtaking coastline and is thriving with wildlife. If you are a nature lover then Mull is definitely a paradise island that you will treasure forever.

Great cottage with all the facilities you could ask for. The fire place was great and kept us warm. So much to see and do nearby. Deers and sheep could be seen from the windows. Very private location which was perfect to get away and relax.

A great place to stay for touring this area of Scotland. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed watching the deer on the hills behind the cottage. Drove to the ferry a few times to visit Oban and Mull.

Lovely place though and would definitely recommend! Hide

A perfect family home, very well created, spacious and clean. Everything is there that you need to be comfortable, you only need to take your food - there is a generous sized fridge freezer.

The cottage was in a beautiful location and was really cosy and comfortable, we couldnt have been happier with our overall experience. It was wonderful to watch the deer in the garden and grounds at the back of the cottage and throughout the local area. We would highly recommend Shepherds Cottage.

Great cottage but with the corran ferry not working it was a real pain especially not being able to get in the cottage until five which to my mind is far too late then finding the ferry not working it added an extra hour of driving to get to the cottage would have been nice to have been warned about the ferry

A perfect stay..great location with gorgeous views. Well equipped & very comfortable. It is quite remote but that added to the appeal for us. Had groceries delivered by Morrisons on arrival, local shop is 15 mins away. We did Pizza Friday at the Ardgour Ales brewery near the ferry which were lovely. Nice pub by the ferry too. Ferry was very efficieRead morent,10 each way so something to consider. Lovely drive round the loch as an alternative. Highly recommended Hide
