The property

Kilchoan 5 miles.

This very comfortable and hi-spec log cabin has been tastefully furnished and lovingly equipped to provide every possible comfort for visitors to this beautiful and remote part of the Scottish Highlands.

Situated in a small and friendly hamlet on the owner's croft, this Highlands cottage would suit a couple who want to embrace the tranquillity and beauty of the area.

The accommodation in this Highlands cottage is all on one level, and is bright and airy with a spacious double bedroom situated just off the stunning open plan living area.

A sofa bed in the sitting area provides flexibility for guests, and double doors lead out onto a fabulous veranda with settee and seating areas, ideal for watching the eagles soaring overhead and soaking up the sea and mountain views.

A quiet single track road leads down from your Highlands cottage to Sanna Beach, a big stretch of quiet golden sand with clean blue sea for swimming in.

The village of Kilchoan provides good local services as does nearby Tobermory on the Isle of Mull.

The whole area is great for exploring and would suit walkers and cyclists but it is doubtful that guests will want to stray far from this wonderful Highlands cottage and fabulous location.

“We loved this log cabin!”

Out of all the different places we have stayed in over the last 20 years, this is our favourite. The location is stunning -remote and with red deer wandering past. Mari the owner was so helpful and kind when we needed to ask something and the log cabin is large, spacious, warm and comfortable.

Mari the owner was so helpful and kind when we needed to ask something and the log cabin is large, spacious, warm and comfortable. We brought nearly everything to cook with withus, but the local shop does stock basics. Great trip to Mull and Staff to see eagles and dolphins. We will return.

“This is a cottage is definitely in a remote destination & a great escape to rewind & recharge the batteries.”

The beach nearby is lovely & with the right weather a fantastic retreat for the day. There's plenty of good walking & local places to visit, park up & sit in awe of the ever changing scenery. A trip to Mull is a must & an island we would love to return too but be aware the ferry is not bookable for the return passage & puts added pressure on you especially in high season with a limited service to ensure you get a space on the boat - its an 80 mile diversion if you miss it!! Wildlife spotting is great with eagles up above, otters in the lochs & red deer visiting the pastures right in front of the cottage on a nightly basis. However, the down sides : the main bed is just not adequate enough for 2 fully grown adults. After such a long drive to get there you want a bed that you can sleep in rather than be folded in half with a super soft mattress & an Ikea/B&Q at best bed frame that's low to the floor & not made to take anyone over the 12 stone threshold! My wife is also in a wheelchair & ramps to property starting to rot & although not sold out as a disabled cottagethe literature emphasises all on one level & open planned it lacks little aids that would just help a disabled client enjoy their stay that little bit more such as a simple arm bar to get on & off the toilet (which would have helped if it was a disabled height) or a rail in the shower to hold onto. Its also disappointing to find that TV didn't work (pre-warned as having signal issues) but fully operational & good Wifi signal which begs the question why there isn't a smart tv or box that operates through the internet. A little guide book of suggestions, eateries, food stores & places to visit would have also helped.

Mr Holt June 2018

- Mr Holt, June 2018

Mrs Milliner September 2017

“Cottage warm and spacious and in a lovely area.”

Down side was the black and moldey wood in the corners of the bedroom. Cottage could do with some repair work.

Sheep and Highland Cattle were grazing at your front door and it was peaceful and tranquil. Would highly recommend this holiday.

Mr Whitfield June 2015

“It was a little patch of heaven.”

Had a warm welcome from the owner and there was beautiful scenery from every window. A lovely warm cosy, comfy, clean cabin with a view of the sea and its white clean beach and emerald green sea. The antics of the animals which just ambled along the track and even the single track road, around every corner there was something special to see.

- Mr Whitfield, June 2015

Mrs Humphreys September 2014

“Staying at Craigard enabled us to really get away from the 'rat race' and relax.”

The property was situated in a fantastic location; it was quiet, peaceful, had beautiful scenery, wildlife and we were able to 'switch off'. Mairie the owner has made the cabin comfortable and cosy and was helpful if needed but gave us privacy also. We have rebooked for 2 weeks next year because we loved it so much :)

- Mr Brine, May 2014
Mr Mellor March 2014

“Peaceful and quiet, spectacular views over rugged countryside.”

Loved the property and everything in it. WiFi was very welcome, very well equipped - dishwasher, freezer, satellite TV. There was just about every useful item one might ever need tucked away in the cabin, from a large telescope for star gazing right down to a shaver socket plug! We especially liked taking the tiny ferry to Tobermory on Mull.

About the location

KILCHOAN

Tobermory 7 miles (via ferry).

The pretty village of Kilchoan is the most westerly village in mainland Britain, situated on the stunning Ardnamurchan Peninsula and surrounded by magnificent mountains and breathtaking coastal views. The area close to Kilchoan offers a choice of quiet sandy beaches and an abundance of wildlife with eagles regularly spotted overhead. Until 1900 the village was only accessible by sea, but now access is via a single track road that leads through some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland. The village has good local services including a shop, pub and restaurant, and from Mingary Pier there is a regular ferry service across the Sound of Mull to Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull. Tobermory offers visitors enhanced services and it is quite feasible to take the ferry across for a nice meal out in one of Tobermory’s restaurants or perhaps do a little shopping? A short drive away is Ardnamurchan Point complete with its own lighthouse and visitors centre which is well worth a visit, or perhaps you simply want to sit on the glorious Sanna beach and enjoy the views across the clear blue sea to the islands of Muck, Eigg, Rum and Canna?
