About this property

Nestled upon the craggy headland at the western end of the Ardnamurchan peninsula, is this white washed bungalow. Boasting an elevated position in a remote section of Lochaber, yet with the village of Kilchoan just 4 miles away, enjoy a well-earned rest with the whole family. The views are quite something to admire, even on a cloud-covered day they stretch across Sanna Bay, over to the Isles of Eigg and Muck. Approach the property via a single track road, where entry is gained down a set of stone steps. Through the rear entrance is the utility, with a washing machine and tumble dryer, leading to the kitchen. Here, you can enjoy fully fitted units and appliances, layered with neutral colour schemes. The living room boasts sumptuous seating, where you can cosy together with your loved ones and enjoy the warmth of the open fire on a cold, wintry evening. There is a lovely dining area for you to use each mealtime and a balcony through the French doors, enjoying the tremendous coastal views. Completing this cottage are three bedrooms boasting a simple design, followed by a family bathroom, with a shower over the bath tub. Outside you have the benefit of an enclosed garden, perfectly safe for the children and dogs to run around. Ardnamurchan Point is nearby, with its commanding lighthouse, coffee shop and exhibition centre, backed by glorious landscape scenery. Sanna Beach offers a wonderful spot to bask on golden sands and gaze out across clear blue waters to the Isle of Muck and Eigg. For local amenities, the village of Kilchoan offers a pub, shop and a restaurant, as well as the formidable Mingary Castle nearby. Mingary Pier also offers regular ferry trips across the Sound of Mull to Tobermory, where you can visit Mull Aquarium, Tobermory Lighthouse and the Tobermory Distillery Visitor Centre. A wonderful choice for a base for your next holiday to the Scottish Highlands.

Kilchoan is the most westerly village in mainland Britain, situated on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. The area close to Kilchoan offers a choice of beaches and an abundance of wildlife. The village has good local services including a shop, pub, restaurant and community centre. From Mingary Pier there is a regular ferry service across the Sound of Mull to Tobermory which gives the opportunity to explore the islands of Mull and Iona. There are wildlife excursions on land and sea and the Ardnamurchan Distillery and Natural History Centre are added attractions. A short drive away is Ardnamurchan Point complete with its own lighthouse and visitor centre.

    Renovated to a really high standard, a lovely house with everything you’ll need. The driveway / parking can be a little challenging due to tight access, but you can easily park larger vehicles in the visitor car park opposite the lane to the house once you’ve unloaded. Highly recommended, owner was a lovely chap and very helpful when we spoke to him. Thank you.

    Owner very helpful. We were there just before he was planning a major refurbishment of the bathroom, so it will be different to what we saw. View from the property is stunning.

    Partly our fault in not updating the party size from 2 to 4. We required an extra set of bedding. This really seemed to upset the owner's deputy. Cooker wasn't working in week 1 and this was replaced on the middle Saturday, for which we were grateful. Some decent doormats would be an excellent addition and towel rails. (We hung our towels on our doors.) It's a great location but it does need some warmth in the customer service. A sense of hospitality wasn't there - it seems to be purely business. Sykes handled the issues well through their website.
