Get away from it all in this remote cottage in the north-west Highlands, 7 miles from Ullapool. Welcoming six guests, the rural retreat is ideal for families and friends who love getting out and about in nature. The cottage is surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery, with endless walking and cycling routes in all directions. Located just off the NC500 driving route, it’s also a good stop-off point for those wanting to take in the stunning Highland landscape. Nearby attractions include Lael Forest Garden and Falls of Maesach (both within 20 miles).

The secluded bolthole enjoys far-reaching, rugged views from almost every window. Inside, the property has a home-away-from-home feel with beautiful wooden furniture, cute accessories, and little nods to the Highland setting in the soft furnishings and artwork.

Leave walking boots in the spacious hallway, before heading through to the inviting lounge where a collection of sumptuous seating is set around a Smart TV, providing the perfect spot for movie nights after a day of exploring. The separate kitchen has everything needed to prepare delicious feasts for the group, which you can share in the attractive dining room as you take in the magnificent vistas. In summer months, slide open the glass doors for indoor/outdoor living. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility room and a charming king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room.

Upstairs, two further bedrooms await – an inviting king-size and a cosy twin – along with a refreshing family bathroom. All the bedrooms benefit from stunning rural views.

Outside, breathe in the fresh Highland air from your enclosed patio garden, where you’ll find furniture for sitting out with a morning coffee or a sundowner at the end of the day. Beyond the garden is a natural woodland. The property has private parking for four cars.
