Overview
Property code: CA106

Retreat to this pretty stone cottage which overlooks Loch Duich and beautiful Eilean Donan Castle. Wake up to the sight of mist rising from the water and the mountains of Skye and the Five Sisters of Kintail emerging in the morning light. Up to six guests are welcome to stay at this former farm cottage in the quiet hamlet of Letterfearn, in the north-west Highlands. Enjoy walking, fishing and other outdoor activities in your stunning surroundings.

Your delightful Highland abode has recently been refurbished throughout. It has been fitted with a new kitchen and bathroom to complement the other bright, welcoming rooms. Relish the property’s calm interior as much as its beautiful views and serene setting.

Step into your charming cottage via its porch and hallway. Find yourself in your cosy lounge, where you can light your open fire on chilly nights to make the space even more inviting. Watch TV in here and while away an hour or two chatting about the next day’s activities. Your new kitchen is the perfect place to prepare meals; then dine in your dining room to the glow of your second open fire if you choose. You’ll find you also have a useful utility room at ground-floor level, plus one of your bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. Head upstairs to discover two more of your bedrooms. These have a wonderful cottage style and enjoy scenic views.

When the weather is fine, make the most of your wild garden. Sit out in the sunshine or follow the rough path down to the shores of the loch.

Enjoy the spectacular beauty of Loch Duich on foot from your cottage. Drive or walk approximately 12 miles around the loch to famous Eilean Donan Castle. With a history reaching back to the 6th century, this iconic Highland castle was built in its current form in the 13th century and stood guard over the lands of Kintail. Discover its past for yourself at its visitors' centre. Take a cruise out on the water from close by and look out for seals as you go.

Also uncover the history of Glen Shiel while you are in this part of the world. Encircled by steep mountains, this was the scene of a Jacobite rebellion in 1719. Today you can climb its beautiful Munros and walk beside Loch Cluanie, approximately 20 miles from your holiday home.

Hike to the magnificent Falls of Glomach: these are often described as the most impressive waterfalls in Britain as they have a single leap of 113 metres. The falls are about 24 miles from your base and you can drive some of the way, with various walks and cycle rides of different lengths to get you the rest of the way, depending on where you start from. Drive about 20 miles from Letterfearn to the famous Kyle of Lochalsh and from there make a trip over to the Isle of Skye.

We loved our stay in this cottage. It was perfect, welcoming & homely, it felt like visiting an older loved relative (please dont bland design it!) with beautiful views, birdsong and wonderfully quiet.

The cottage is in a very quiet position, with limited views of the loch. It took a few days for it to warm up, CH was a bit iffy at first but seemed to sort itself out. Availability of good firewood was a boon. It's a tired holiday cottage, towards the end of the season, yet the curtains and blinds, kitchen/utility storage etc were excellent.
