Property code: OC-CA197

Escape to the breathtaking Scottish Highlands at this cosy cottage, which is set within the North West Highland Geopark. Discover the area’s bens, glens and seascapes which have been claimed as Europe’s finest scenery. Spend your days walking, hiking and biking the surrounding area of historic Sutherland or fishing on Loch More, with a boat and two rods included within the rental. With two twin bedrooms, this is a fantastic escape for groups of outdoor-loving friends or a small family.

Located on the edge of the loch, enjoy incredible views as you dine morning and night at this inviting holiday home. Eclectically styled, the single-level property is packed with character as well as an abundance of space, with a focus on comfort and homeliness throughout.

If you can tear yourself away from exploring all that is on your doorstep, open plan kitchen/dining, gather around the table in the dining room for a hearty homecooked dinner; you’re sure to have worked up quite the appetite with so much to see and do. Retreat to the lounge area with full bellies and make plans for tomorrow beside the warming woodburner on a dreich evening.  Two twin bedrooms, which can be made up as king-size doubles, one with ensuite shower room, ready  for you to lay your head and catch some Z’s, both decorated in a warm and welcoming style to make you feel right at home. There is also a bathroom with shower over bath at the property. Due to its remote location, the Wi-Fi signal can be poor, making this the perfect spot for an ‘unplugged’ stay.

Enjoy the scenery from the large enclosed shingle garden bench, with an extensive range of outdoor pursuits just the other side of the fence. Please note that during the stalking season (which begins in early August) guests will be asked to give their cooperation to the estate.

The cottage is wonderfully functional and clean, without feeling particularly 'homely', but it works for a weeks holiday. If you're thinking of fishing be aware that this can only be 'fly fishing.

We have just come back from our holiday and the cottage is beautiful presented throughout and has got be the most tranquil place I have ever stayed at. We have stayed all over in the highlands but the location and scenery of kinloch cottage is amazing and will definitely be back in the near future .If you want a proper escape from the hustle and buRead morestle this is the place for you its a credit to the owners as its set right in the middle of reay estate near Ben arkle and Ben stack mountains with plenty of walks around the local area plus its within 10 miles of the nc500 so ideal if you want to go and explore we did it over 2 very long days but it was doable if you still want to have a few days at the cottage to relax Hide

A really cozy little house, wonderfully located, well equipped. We loved the boat. It is very remote - you have to plan your meals carefully since the next supermarket is 25 m/ 40 km away
