With off-road parking for three cars, this delightful abode is perfect for families or groups of friends seeking a tranquil escape amidst the stunning Scottish landscape.

As you step inside, you're welcomed by a characterful sitting room, thoughtfully arranged with a television and a woodburning stove that brings a gentle warmth on cooler evenings.

The bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower over, basin, and WC, providing a space to freshen up each morning.

Grab the day by its horns and delve deep into the Scottish landscape, visiting Castle Moil, a centuries-old relic with tales of Viking princesses and fierce clansmen, before watching the wonderful spectacle of playful creatures at the Otter Hide.

Seek those mesmerising, panoramic views from the Eilean Donan Lookout and meet the hairy locals in Highland cow tours - an intimate encounter with these gentle giants that you won’t want to miss!

Onwards to the Balmacara Estate Visitor Centre, keep an eye out for the rare wildlife set within this traditional Highland crofting estate of the National Trust for Scotland, concluding a day of sightseeing with the breath-taking vistas from the Loch Alsh Viewpoint.

GLENELG

Shiel Bridge 9 miles; Skye 46.2 miles; Uig 68.9 miles; Broadford 29.2 miles.

Just ten miles from the main route to the Isle of Skye, the small coastal village of Glenelg lies on the shores of the Sound of Sleat, surrounded by scenery deemed magnificent even by West Highland standards. The glen has preserved its unspoilt beauty and sense of isolation, yet remains within easy reach of the more well-known centres of attraction in the area. Overlooking the Isle of Skye, it is situated on the route once used by drovers from Skye to get their cattle to the mainland, crossing over the narrow Kyle Rhea straits. A couple of miles from the village on the Arnisdale road you will find Sandaig bay, named "Camusfearna" by Gavin Maxwell in his novel Ring of Bright Water, and where there is a cairn for his beloved otter Edal. Glenelg also has the best preserved Pictish Brochs on mainland Scotland. The ruins of Bernera Barracks, an 18th Century garrison for English government troops, still stand next to the village.
