Overview
Property code: CA343

Show your pets some puppy love by taking them for a paddle every morning. This handsome, stone, Scottish holiday home is right by the beach in Applecross. Sleeping up to 12 people across six bedrooms, it also welcomes two four-legged guests. Make the most of its unique position to head off on some exciting dog walks and if you are very lucky, you and your happy hounds might also catch sight of the Northern Lights while you are here.

 

This exquisite holiday home is beautifully presented to provide an easy combination of character, comfort and stylish living. Let your delighted dogs explore the ground floor, where they are welcome to join in the fun in all the rooms with hard floors. Light the wood burner in the lounge and then take in the views while they stretch out nearby to recuperate after their busy day. Feed them delicious dinners in the kitchen and let them wander through to the dining room afterwards, where the rest of the party may well also be feasting. Take them for a stroll, settle them for the night then head off to one of your beautiful bedrooms. One of these and its en-suite can be found at ground-floor level; three more and a family bathroom are on the floor above; the final two, which have a cottage style, are on the second floor. Awake to take the pups out into the walled garden, then carry a late breakfast outside to enjoy in the sunshine.

 

Spend warm days on the beach at Applecross Bay, gazing out towards Skye and Raasay, while your furry friends splash about and let off some steam. Stroll 1 mile inland through woodland and alongside the river to visit the gorgeous, dog-friendly Walled Garden, where you can also pause for some welcome refreshment.

An extremely well equipped and well furnished house right next to the loch. It really had everything we needed. It was even beautiful in the rain but much more so when the sun came out. Best to book the local pubs well in advance and bring most of the food for the week with you.

Fantastic house for a big group (we were 8 adults and 4 children) - warm and comfy, great showers, lovely bedrooms, well equipped kitchen with two fridges, good wifi, loads of parking space, a well stocked log store and only a short walk from the back door to the sea for your early morning swim!

A wonderful space for our group of friends. Was looking forward to getting the fire on but didn't need to as it was really cosy. Bedrooms all really lovely and great to retreat to and listen to the deer barking. The week passed way too quickly. Applecross is a wonderful place where nature wins every time.

Over the years we have stayed in almost all the Estate properties with different family groups. With grandchildren this house is perfect. We loved being by the shore and enjoyed seeing people walking by. Pub and fish/chip van very handy. Walled Garden restaurant delicious. Sitting and dining areas a bit small but the house is comfortable, with plenRead morety of bath/shower rooms, kitchen very well appointed, and the Estate is most helpful and responsive. We can't wait to return! Hide

A lovely and spacious house house for a large group perfectly positioned on the loch and near the pub. Beautiful walks. Self catering made easy with large fridges and a well equipped kitchen. A small shop in the next village is a godsend for the things you inevitably forget.

Loved the house, loved the view, well equipped and plenty of rooms and space for the 3 generations in our family. The gardens were great for the wee ones to run around in. We're all missing it already .
