Property code: OC-CA137

Stroll down to the gorgeous white beach at Big Sand from your Highlands holiday home. Enjoy the magical views out towards Raasay and the Isle of Skye. See the lighthouse flashing on Rona and watch the mist rise over the Torridon Hills. Absorb the tranquillity and beauty of your Scottish surroundings from this west coast holiday home near Gairloch, which sleeps up to four guests.

Your single-storey holiday cottage, which provides accommodation split into two sections, is incredibly bright and airy throughout. With expansive picture windows, it has been designed to bring the picturesque Ross-shire panoramas around you right into your living accommodation.

Intriguingly, your lounge/diner is separate from the rest of the sumptuous accommodation. Step in through its external door to find a beautiful room where you can sit and take in the views, watch TV together or listen to music. Spread out and luxuriate in the space of this very light room. The other part of your cottage is also accessed via its own external door. This section contains two comfortable bedrooms, a family bathroom and the bright, modern kitchen where you can prepare fabulous holiday feasts to enjoy together at the table in the spacious lounge/diner.

Whenever the weather is fine, sit out in the sunshine in your private, enclosed garden. Carry breakfast out here on warm mornings, look out to sea and over to the islands and then head off for a long walk or a few hours on the beach.

Quiet surroundings, lovely views but secluded. Be aware that you have to go outside in order to get into the living room through another door or to get to the kitchen and bedrooms.

Very comfortable and clean cottage in wonderful setting. No wifi but good phone WiFi and signal. Popping outside to living room takes 2 seconds, is funny and well worth it as the living room is really comfortable and has a great view. With the sea so close and the Torridon mountains near by its a great place to stay.

A comfortable cottage in a quiet location. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable good sized bedrooms. Accessing the lounge from outside was something new and a bit of a challenge in heavy rain but not enough to detract from our stay.

If you're looking for peace & quiet, remoteness & beautiful scenery, this quirky little croft is for you. The kitchen has everything you'll need. The beds are really comfortable. The living room offers some stunning views with windows to 3 sides. Cosy & warm in the winter, you can watch as the storms roll in as we did over the festive period this CRead morehristmas & New Year. We were lucky enough to see some wild deer/stags in the pasture to the side on 2 occasions! We had a lovely Welcome Pack too Hide
