This is a home set in amazing surroundings where it is quiet and you can see and hear wildlife.
This is a home set in amazing surroundings where it is quiet and you can see and hear wildlife. The people are so friendly and helpful (we had a tyre flat in nearby village of Poolewe and local garage in Gairloch, Forbes pick up and cleaner Janette helped us out so much). I would highly recommend if you like nature and be somewhat isolated from others. The beaches are stunning and Gairloch has everything you need. The mountain ranges and the different types of water (loch’s, waterfalls, sea) along west coast and also down onto the isle of Skye are soo picturesque and beautiful. We Love Scotland!!! â¤ï¸

We enjoyed our time here, warm and cozy and a lot of history to the property.
We enjoyed our time here, warm and cozy and a lot of history to the property. Shops and amenities 12 miles (not really local) also parking a bit tight if you have a big car. We managed because there was no one in next door. Hot water system very poor especially in the kitchen. No information on when to put the bins out or where to put them. No tumble dryer big down point. Would rather have a tumble dryer than a dishwasher. Or swap the washing machine for a washer/dryer. Overall loved it here, the electric fire makes the living area really warm and homely.
