Description
Once used as part of the set of the blockbuster film ‘Stardust’, Professor’s Cottage near Kinlochewe has been beautifully renovated to a modern standard. Located just a stone’s throw away from the Abhainn Bruachaig river in the depths of a valley, and 3 miles down a rough track, the cottage is certainly a remote escape for all of the family to enjoy. Children will love the vast bracken-filled land to run around and play in, and adults will enjoy the peaceful surroundings with plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife, such as the stags that reside on the grounds of the estate. Professor’s Cottage has beautiful large windows in the living room, and guests can enjoy stargazing with the telescope that has been provided. The modern fitted kitchen is a delight to cook in, with plenty of space to allow you to prepare delicious meals for the family. Each of the rooms to the front of the property boasts lovely views of the river. The main bedroom also has patio doors that lead outside, where you are bound to spend most of the warm summer evenings with a glass of wine in hand watching the sun go down in the valley.
A small boat with outboard motor on Loch Fada is available and included in the rental of the cottage. However, it is a 4.5 mile, fairly arduous walk to Loch Fada which should be taken into account if wishing to make use of this facility.
Kinlochewe is a great location for going on guided walks and mountain trails, perfect for adventurous types. Professors Cottage is also ideally situated to explore the West Coast area of Gairloch. Being just a short drive away, guests can enjoy glass bottom boat trips and whale watching cruises. There are also plenty of restaurants, cafes and pubs around to stop at for a bite to eat after your busy day out.

Holiday Protection Scheme
Holiday Protection Scheme
Cottages & Castles Ltd. (acting as agents for property owners) provides a guarantee for tenants who have to cancel their holiday at a cottage.
If it is necessary to cancel your holiday, for any of the reasons A 1-5 below, you may do so at any time up until the close of business on the last working day before your tenancy commences and we will refund your balance. Your deposit is not refundable. If you have made a late booking and paid in full you will receive your payment minus the normal deposit sum (usually 30%).
There is no charge for this holiday protection – it is included in the cost of your holiday. Please note that the protection does not apply to holidays in our properties with codes beginning with P (usually castles, mansions and lodges).
Deposits may be transferred to a different date for a holiday at the same property within 12 months of the original holiday date, subject to availability, but not, however, for a different property. If the new booking is at a higher rate the tenant must pay the extra cost. No refund will be made if the new date is at a lower rate.
