Property code: OC-94921

Enjoy exquisite scenery and a sense of splendid isolation as you unwind at this family-friendly, detached log cabin. Loch Carron is close by, iconic Eilean Donan Castle 9 miles distant, and the Skye Bridge just 12 miles away. After a day of outdoor adventures, your party of four can cosy up by the wood burner or kick back in the garden surrounded by breathtaking countryside views.

Located in a region rich in coastal, countryside and forest trails, this lovely lodge is ideal for an off-the-beaten-track break with family or friends.

Step across the spacious decked area and step into an open-plan living area with clearly defined areas for all the things you’ll do here, plus underfloor heating to ensure a warm welcome in any weather. High ceilings and a neutral colour palette complement the setting. Cook up a storm in the sleek kitchen, dine companionably at the table close by, then settle in your choice of comfortable seating to watch TV; light the wood burner to add ambience to your evenings. You’ll also find a shower room and a utility area offering storage space. Drifting off to sleep will be effortless; the two bedrooms – one double and the other a twin – are calm and peaceful.

Dual-aspect patio doors lead from the lounge area straight onto a private decking area – wherever you settle you can drink in the stunning scenery that’s beyond. Outside, there’s plenty of space to sit back and breathe in the fresh air, plus a lawn where any little ones in your party can play.

The log cabin is situated in a beautiful setting with open plan accommodation with a log stove which makes it even cosier on a chilly evening. The only thing we were disappointed in was the lack of good restaurants, the only decent meals out was the Indian restaurant on skye which is excellent.

We spent a lovely time in the little chalet and it gave us time to relax and recover from camping ;). While we didn't have that much luck with the weather this year, the house offered a cosy retreat and time to read as well as short drives to many of the places we love and revisited. A warm thank you to the owners (and their dog) for opening their Read moreamazing garden for guests, we can definitely recommend the place, the people and the surroundings! Hide

A chalet tucked away in the most beautiful, peaceful area, this is our second stay here. Chalet is first class in everything and David and Kath the owners are great.
