The property
Dornie 3 miles.
This pretty picture postcard cottage, nestling on a hillside in a stunning highland glen at Sallachy, is just three miles from the small former fishing village of Dornie, in the western Ross-shire Highlands.
Creag Mhor Cottage is a traditional cottage that has both character and comfort.
The bedrooms are on the upper floor and the modern bathroom is at ground floor level.
The ground floor is open plan with the kitchen/diner at one end and the sitting area at the other with both benefiting from large woodburning stoves, ideal for cosy nights in.
A private garden surrounds the cottage and from here there are lovely views towards Loch Long and the surrounding mountains.
The village of Dornie is a short drive along the winding loch side road, and here you can buy your groceries and visit the local pub for a pint.
Dornie is also home to the world famous Eilean Donan Castle which is well worth a visit and the visitor centre not only sells gifts but also has a very good cafe.
The bustling village of Kyle of Lochalsh is some 11 miles west and provides enhanced shopping opportunities.
The area is exceptionally pretty and attracts many visitors throughout the year and this cottage makes an excellent base for exploring the west coast villages and crossing the bridge to the magical Isle of Skye for a lovely day out.
The area is perfect for walkers and wildlife lovers and this welcoming ‘wee’ cottage will tick all the boxes to ensure a great highland adventure.
