Enjoying views across the waters of Gairloch, this charming waterside retreat is ideal for families and friends, including furry ones, seeking a tranquil base from which to explore the attractions and activities of Scotland’s West Coast. Stroll into Badachro, a quarter of a mile away, for some refreshments in the dog-friendly inn (0.5 miles) and watch the fishermen unload their catch on the jetty. Pull on your walking boots for a hike to the picturesque Fairy Lochs (2 miles) hidden on the hillside or head to the well-named Big Sand Beach (10 miles) where dogs are welcome all year round.
Sat in the shadow of Baosbheinn mountain, your spacious holiday cottage has a homely charm with tastefully decorated rooms and comfortable furniture. Prepare delicious dinners in the bright and airy kitchen and share meals around the large wooden table in the sunny dining room. Gather together in the evenings in your cosy lounge to catch up on your favourite TV programme while your hound sprawls in front of the fire. On the ground floor you will find a double bedroom and also a shower room with WC and utility room. Heading upstairs, you will find the three bedrooms, two doubles – one with en-suite shower room, and a twin. There is also a family bathroom on this level. Enjoy outdoor living in your generous enclosed garden where your dog can stretch their legs on the lawn, and you can soak up your surroundings on the decking.
Situated in a peaceful location on the outskirts of the coastal village of Badachro, the area surrounding the cottage is a haven for hounds with walks straight from the doorstep. Cross the floating bridge to Dry Island (1.5 miles) for a wildlife-spotting stroll. Spend the day at beautiful dog-friendly Redpoint Beach (6 miles). Take to the waters from Gairloch Harbour (5.5 miles) where you and your pup can take a relaxing glass-bottom boat ride offering a window into the sea life below.
