Overview
Property code: CA137

This light and bright cottage has a beautiful finish throughout, and its secluded countryside location makes it the perfect getaway for keen walkers, nature enthusiasts and those who fancy a peaceful retreat.

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.

Drive 4.5 miles to the village of Gairloch. Wander through its shops and stop for something to eat or drink in one of its cafes or restaurants. Visit the Gairloch Museum to find out more about the cultural heritage of this fascinating area.

We booked this to celebrate a couple of milestone birthdays. The location was stunning and looking at the view out of the living room windows was unbeatable. Having no WiFi can be jarring for a lot of people but we loved that we had time to read books and watch dvds as a family.

Cottage is in a lovely secluded area, good view in between the trees and tidy around the outside of property. The cottage could do with being updated to make it look cleaner. Disappointing that there is mould on walls and on flooring in the bathroom. Double beds too so a tight squeeze. Close to Gairloch itself for shops etc which is good. A basic cRead moreottage. Hide

A really cozy cottage with a lot of character. Great views from the living room and on a clear day you can see the Torridon mountains from the garden. We had a lovely family holiday over Easter with this cottage as our base.

Stunning views from the property and garden. Good base for walks and visiting town or beyond. Quirky layout of the separate living room. We did adapt to this quite quickly though. Rustic interior bedrooms . Spacious kitchen and bathroom. Very cosy and relaxing when settled in.

Not worth staying here. As others have said it's very hard to find. Even after calling to find out where to go we still ended up missing it. The carpets were stained, the skirting boards were dusty, the heating and oven didn't work, the bathroom door didn't close and had no lock, one of the bedroom doors wouldn't close, the curtains didn't fully coRead morever the windows and the bathroom as well as the kitchen were missing them entirely.

It was very clean, practical and comfortable and the unusual layout did not bother us at all. We especially enjoyed its quiet and secluded setting with views of distant mountains.

A great private little cottage with everything you need for your stay. Thoughtfully equipped (dont forget your towels) Excellent location for the beach and walking trails nearby. There is a local mini supermarket and a cafe at the caravan park which is a walking distance. A nice fish and chips and Chinese takeaway in Gairloch just a few miles away.

The cottage is really comfortable and i a beautiful location the only downside we found was if you needed a decent shop then its a long drive to a supermarket there are a few small shops in the village but very expensive the Chinese take away is very good

Initially difficult to find. Greeted by damp, fusty smells with visible mould in places. Promised views were greatly exaggerated.
