This is our third stay at Ken Maree, we love the peacefulness and the stunning views. The cottage is well equipped and the gardens secure for our two dogs and we love that the beach is only a two minute walk from a path at the back of the cottage. The owners Duncan and Trish are warm and welcoming and helpful. There are lots of nice places for eating out nearby Duncan kindly gave us some spiny lobster tails which my son and I loved. We will definitely be returning again for another stay. If you're after getting away from city life or need to de-stress then Ken Maree is where you'll be able to decompress and unwind

the cottage is very comfortable, clean and has everything you would need, beautiful views on all sides, a short stroll and you are on the beach, a short drive to the pub where the Pizza van is at the beginning of the week, you can order the pizza of your choice and have a drink whilst waiting for your order, meanwhile look out for the seals in the water, Trish was a lovely welcoming host. just a very relaxing comfortable stay, best wishes Gail and Steve

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage. The location is absolutely stunning, right on the beach, peaceful, and surrounded by incredible scenery. The cottage itself was lovely, cosy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It was the perfect place to switch off and enjoy the Highlands. Wed happily come back and would definitely recommend it.
