Overview
Property code: CA399

In an elevated position with spectacular views over Scourie Bay, this much-loved property is ideal for large families looking for a remote getaway.

Surrounded by the rugged beauty of north-west Scotland, this stunningly situated retreat is the perfect base for a group of adventurers to set off and discover the hills and habitats of this unique Highland coastline.

 

The property itself is a traditional coastal cottage; a sweet boarded structure on an elevated grassy lookout. Inside, the rooms are a blend of modern and quaint, with warm cheery spaces that you’ll love just hanging out in.

 

The heart of the property is a large open-plan area, which catches the light from the bay and showcases the cottage’s stunning panoramic views. With a cosy sitting room at one end and a dining space at the other, it’s great for enjoying a sociable meal with the group or curling up by the fire. Next door is the kitchen, a handy space with everything you need to rustle up meals for your active troops. Also on the ground floor is the first of your bedrooms: a twin with a neighbouring shower room, useful for guests who want to get up and out early without disturbing others.

 

Upstairs on the first floor are a further two bedrooms: two doubles which each unzip to form twins on request. Each is decorated in a delightful Scottish style with homely touches to make your night’s sleep a restful one.

 

The exterior of the property makes the most of the sights and sounds of this remarkable location, and with an enclosed garden, you can enjoy the fresh air in privacy and comfort.

The cottage is situated overlooking the ragged coast of Scourie Bay. Less than 1.5 miles along the shore, you'll find the little village of Scourie, an old crofting village now with seafood eateries and fishing spots.

From here, you can make your way around the dramatic north-west coast. Journey to Handa Island; there's a ferry from the mainland to Handa from about 3 miles north of Scourie. Here, you can soak in the view of the coastline and take one of several walking trails around the unspoilt wildlife habitats of the island, discovering cliffs and the ‘Great Stack', a monumental rocky outcrop that seems to defy physics.

There's plenty to do inland too, from loch fishing to kayaking, and there's a collection of peaks — Ben Stack, Arkle and Foinaven to name a few — that provide a day's mountaineering for the brave at heart. These climbs are wonderful territory for coastal and Highland wildlife, so don't forget to pack your binoculars and your camera.

Wonderful location, amazing views all around and the house is supplied with everything you need. The furniture and fittings were a bit more basic than we were expecting. The bathrooms are old and we didn't find the beds all that comfortable. But it makes a great holiday house for a family, with lots of space and light. And not being too precious meRead moreans you don't have to worry too much. Hide

A lovely, welcoming house that we found easy to relax in. Great views from its elevated position; the height also gave a decent breeze to reduce midges! We found Scourie was a great place to base ourselves for a varied and active holuday. We all look forward to returning.

The cottage was exceptionally clean and so lovely and warm even when the wind was blowing outside. The views were fantastic and we even got to see the Northern lights. The cottage had everything you could want. We really didn't want to leave and will definitely be back.
