Post Cottage

About this property

Post Cottage is a delightful cottage resting in Arisaig, Scotland, blessed with breath-taking views across the bay, roadside parking, and two inviting courtyard spaces for outdoor dining. Created as a romantic bolthole for two, it’s a well-presented retreat with a traditional feel, where the scenery does as much of the talking as the interiors.

Arrive and let the pace soften as you step into the open-plan living space, a sociable hub for slow mornings and unhurried evenings. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed for an easy self-catered stay, while the dining area sets the scene for suppers and lingering breakfasts as you plan the day ahead. After a day of exploring, settle into the sitting area together with the Smart TV, then wander upstairs to the first-floor snug; a peaceful hideaway made for stretching out with a book and drinking in those far-reaching bay views.

When it’s time to turn in, an inviting king-size bedroom awaits, with a sleek shower room on hand for a refreshing start to each new adventure. Outside, the front courtyard catches the light beautifully; take your coffee to the bench and watch the bay shift with the weather. To the rear, the second courtyard offers patio furniture and a barbecue, ideal for long, easy evenings outdoors.

With a shop and pub just a short walk away, spontaneity comes naturally, and beautiful walks begin right from the doorstep. Venture further afield to Morar for the Silver Sands of Morar, or make a day trip to Glenfinnan and Fort William for a change of scene. For something truly memorable, set out on ferry trips to Skye, Eigg, and Rum, returning to your bay-view haven at the end of the day. Whatever you choose, Post Cottage in Arisaig is a wonderful base for a Highland escape.

Situated on the shore of Loch nan Ceall on the West coast of Inverness-shire, is this small village, Arisaig. Within this typical Highland village, you will find a working railway station, a hotel, a pub, a Post Office and a selection of shops to enjoy. The landscape of the village is carved by a rocky coast, a sandy beach and breath-taking blue waters to complement. From the village you can also enjoy the far-reaching views to the islands of Rum and Eigg. Brush up on the local history by visiting the town’s “The Land, Sea and Islands Visitor Centre”, where you can discover the area’s social and natural history through new and old photos and artifacts. To keep you busy whilst staying within the village, you will find a magnitude of options for wildlife tours and island cruises. From here, boats can take you to the islands of Eigg, Muck and Rum, running from April until late September. Alternatively, you will find the famous Silver Sands of Morar within close reach, where you will find wonderful views and white sands, giving a tropical feel. Arisaig promises to be a refreshing getaway to this wonderful part of the Scottish Highlands.
