prop ref: SU303 sleeps: 4 start day: Saturday
In a secluded, elevated location, high above Lochinver, this charming cottage enjoys wonderful views over the water and the village to the magnificent mountain peaks of Suilven and Canisp. The traditional whitewashed exterior conceals a fully modernised interior, which is comfortable and cosy with lovely finishing touches. The enclosed grounds encompass several wooded acres with a sitting area, lawn with play equipment, tree house, paths and viewpoint to fully appreciate the spectacular surroundings.

The main road leads inland to the unspoiled wilderness and nature reserves of Sutherland, north to Cape Wrath or south to Ullapool. The surrounding area provides unrivalled climbing, walking, biking, angling and ornithology.
