Overview
Property code: CA186

A charming, secluded stone cottage offering accommodation for a romantic break. Discover varied wildlife and explore the Scottish countryside by foot or by bike before settling down for a restful night's sleep.

Situated in a peacefully remote and private setting nestles this converted studio-style cottage, that was once the local jam factory. If you are looking for tranquillity and solitude this property is approached by its own driveway and is surrounded by nothing other than nature and wildlife. Here you can step outside your front door and instantly be in the wild and natural environment of the west coast of Scotland.

This cosy and versatile studio style cottage has been thoughtfully designed to provide light, comfortable and welcoming accommodation. Equipped with a wood burner, you will be able to cuddle up in front of the fire after a long day of exploring what the west coast of Scotland has to offer. There is no TV within the cottage as its tranquil style of furnishings aims to compliment its surroundings by offering peace and quiet to enjoy the beautiful setting.

The accommodation is situated all on one level and incorporates a studio open-plan living area design. The lounge area is cosy with a wood burner and the kitchen/dining area is equipped with electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge and washer/ dryer. The bedroom area has a king-size bed.

The cottage’s location makes it the perfect romantic getaway for couples looking for a break from the busy hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Located on the Applecross Peninsula in Wester Ross, the landscape here is dramatic and unspoilt, almost another world. Its striking beauty and remoteness makes you feel like you are experiencing the true Scottish Highlands and some of its breathtaking, untouched wilderness. The picturesque little village of Applecross (1.5 miles) is west facing and offers beautiful views overlooking the bay to the Isle of Skye. Whether it is by foot, bike or boat this is a fantastic spot to explore. There is so much to see and do on this Highland Peninsula from sea kayaking, sailing tours and seal watching, to coast path walking, mountain climbing and much more.

The Bealach na Ba (Pass of the Cattle) is only one of two ways into the village of Applecross and is one of the highest roads in Britain reaching 2,053 ft. Spend time walking and exploring as the mountain views all along Bealach na Ba are spectacular, but be sure to take extra care on those Alpine hairpin bends! It is a single track road and one of the most famous parts of the North Coast 500 route, offering magnificent views across the bay to Raasay and The Isle of Skye.

We had a really lovely stay in the Jam Factory. The cottage is very comfortable, despite its small size (one big room) it has everything needed. Super comfortable bed. It is completely peaceful and surrounded by the most beautiful woodland with a river and the sea very close by. Applecross itself is so beautiful- remote and stunning. The ApplecrossRead more estate is a really beautiful place to stay- can highly recommend a meal in the Walled Garden and the Applecross Inn is a 20 minute very scenic walk. Hide

A lovely peaceful location with great walks to take from the door. Bathroom rather old and tired, toilet makes high pitch noise when flushed, but shower is good. Although there is a bench outside, it would be good to have a small table.

Lovely little cottage in beautiful surroundings. It had everything needed for a relaxing week in late November on the Applecross peninsula. After walking across the hills, often in wet, windy weather, it was a joy to come in to underfloor heating and a hot shower, before relaxing with a book, or preparing dinner. We would happily recommend it to anRead moreyone wanting a holiday away from the stresses of everyday life. Just be prepared for the narrow twisty roads and speeding cars! Hide

It was larger than we expected, and the Wi-Fi was a plus.
