2 Bedroom Cottage in Strath

A beautifully updated bolthole for up to four guests, this sea-view cottage has been tastefully furnished and warmly decorated to make a characterful base for walkers, nature spotters, and hikers keen to discover a secluded corner of the Scottish Highlands. The property sits in a tranquil spot along the shore of Strath Bay, at the eastern end of Loch Gairloch. The friendly village of Gairloch is home to the fantastic Gairloch Heritage Museum and two secluded beaches – Gairloch Beach is to the east (1.5 miles) and Big Sand is to the west (3.5 miles). The area is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for water sports, pony trekking, golf, and Munro bagging – while the course of the NC500 passes close by. Heading inland, the stunning Inverewe Garden lies at the southern end of Loch Ewe (7 miles).


A small entrance vestibule leads through to this pet-friendly cottage’s light and cheerful lounge/diner, with comfortable armchairs, a welcoming wood burner, and a sociable dining table with chairs and pew-style seating. The dining area leads across to the stylishly updated kitchen, fully equipped for preparing a celebratory meal. Exploring further, there’s a charming main lounge with additional seating, a Smart TV, and another wood burner, offering a relaxing space for you all to unwind in at the end of a great day. The ground floor also features a handy WC. Heading upstairs, there’s a bright and refreshing bathroom with a gorgeous free-standing bath and a separate shower, alongside a choice of two beautifully furnished bedrooms: a master king-size room and a lovely twin, each with slightly sloping ceilings.


Stepping outside, a scenic front patio is enclosed and overlooks the bay, providing a charming spot to sit back with a morning coffee. A little closer to the water’s edge, there’s a bench offering a quiet place for reading and taking in the tranquil scenery. Parking is on-street about 20 metres away from the property, with additional on-street parking opposite the cafe further up the lane.
