Welcome to Highland
Holidays
In
Designated National Scenic Area
Explore the
rugged, unspoilt beauty and breathtaking scenery of Wester Ross in one
of our highly recommended cottages, all with excellent accommodation
and panoramic views, in two superb locations; by the sea, or in the
mountains.
Summer sunsets
are absolutely stunning, whilst in the darker months, clear nights
display the brightest and most numerous stars imaginable.
Choose from
the picturesque villages of Melvaig, Aultgrishan or Peterburn, all
within a short distance of Gairloch and overlooking the sea, Skye,
Harris, Lewis and the Shiant Islands.
Or stay in the
only cottage in the Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve at Kinlochewe, near
Torridon, overlooking the majestic mountains of Beinn Eighe, Slioch
and the Torridons. A track next to the house leads right up to the
top of Beinn Eighe.
Explore the
many quiet sandy beaches, bays and coves at Redpoint, Peterburn,
Gairloch and Gruinard Bay, to name but a few.
Marine life
includes whales, dolphins, porpoise, basking sharks and otters. A
great opportunity to see them is by way of a short cruise from
Gairloch Harbour.
Bird watchers
will be thrilled with the many types and numbers of birds. Buzzards
and sea eagles are often seen over the cottages, and even the golden
eagle sometimes puts in an appearance.
Walker’s and
climbers can explore the many trails, routes and climbs in the area.
Experienced,
qualified guides are available, who also teach rock climbing and
abseiling; advance booking is essential.
Deer, eagles
and pine martens can be seen, the latter having visited Cairn Shiel
cottage for many years, usually in the evenings, enticed by the food
which our regular visitors leave out for them
