Cottage in The Highlands

About this property

Situated on the edge of Loch Broom, this spacious property is perfect for families and groups of friends seeking a secluded base from which to explore the natural beauty and scenery of the North West Highlands.

Sitting in splendid isolation on the shoreline of the loch, this six bedroom property is less than 2 miles from the amenities of the picturesque fishing village of Ullapool with its shops, bars, restaurants and cafes. Encounter seabirds, seals and maybe even dolphins on a cruise across Loch Broom and stop off at Tanera Mor, the last place in Britain to print its own stamps. Charter a private boat for a sea fishing trip or pull on your wetsuit for a scuba dive exploring the many wrecks below the water. If you prefer to keep your feet dry, then hike up Ullapool Hill for wonderful views across the village and Loch Broom or if you have a head for heights then try the more challenging climb up Stac Pollaidh (14 miles). Nestled beneath Stac Pollaidh is the Inverpolly National Nature Reserve where you can see pine martens, buzzards and golden eagles. Perched on the side of the loch, your holiday home enjoys an unrivalled location for special occasions and family celebrations. Spread across three storeys, this cottage is tastefully decorated in warm and welcoming tones and offers comfortable accommodation in magnificent surroundings. Step down to the ground floor where you will find your living room with plump sofas arranged around the open fireplace. This is a wonderful room to curl up and relax in as you catch up on the family news or play a board game or cards. The spacious kitchen diner has everything you need to make your stay a home from home, including an electric range cooker, induction hob, two fridges and two freezers for all your provisions, a wine fridge, dishwasher and microwave. Plan your day with a coffee at the breakfast bar or enjoy a convivial meal at the formal dining table. Guests of all ages will enjoy a game of table tennis in the summer room where you can light the wood burner on cooler nights and enjoy the views across the loch. There is also access to the patio. A utility room with washing machine and dryer and a WC on this floor too. Head back upstairs to the entrance level where you will find four of the six bedrooms and the family bathroom with shower over bath and WC. Step into the master king size bedroom with views across the water and an en suite bathroom with separate shower and WC. Further along is a cosy double bedroom dressed in crisp linens and brightly coloured soft furnishings, with en suite bathroom with hand held shower over bath and WC. Two welcoming twin bedrooms can also be found on the entrance level, both enjoying sea views. Up another flight of stairs are a further two comfortable double bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms with separate shower and WC. Younger guests will enjoy spending time in the playroom or watching their favourite cartoons on the TV. Watch the movement of the water as you sit with an al fresco drink in the garden and listen to the sounds of the waves and the seabirds.
