Eschew the traditional seaside holiday and head for the beach at Gruinard Bay, staying in this remarkable property for ten humans and two hounds, just 300 metres from the shore. Your canine companions will be able to chase balls and fetch sticks to their hearts' content whilst you enjoy the crystal waters and stunning scenery that surrounds you – head home to unwind in this comfortable converted farmhouse together, ready for another day of hiking, walking and sniffing out adventures.

The property, which is light and airy throughout thanks to large windows and high ceilings, has been kept traditional and subtle in style, reflecting its countryside location. After a long walk on the beach head straight into the utility room to dry off sandy paws and wet fur, before hanging up coats in the boot room. This glorious former farmhouse stays cosy throughout thanks to an oil-fired Aga in the kitchen and a well-stocked wood burner in the lounge. Whilst you head off to bed on an evening, we've no doubt your pets will enjoy curling up in the still warm, cosy downstairs spaces. The house also benefits from an enclosed garden, so you can let the dogs out with peace of mind that they won't run off to chase any visiting stags or deer.

The beach at Gruinard Bay, just 300 metres away, offers an expanse of clean sand, bright blue waters and rock pools to explore. The area is often frequented by walkers, so you'll find plenty of coastal paths to explore. Many visitors flock to the area to bag Munros and enjoy the remarkable views, so join them by jumping in the car to find the Torridon Munros between 10 and 50 miles from your doorstep. Collar up, let your four-legged friends take the lead and head off on the ultimate dog walk.

Fantastic house with lots of character and a good location for touring the northern west coast of Scotland. The rooms are comfortable and the place is very homely. Have stayed a couple of times at Mungasdale House and will hopefully return again soon..

Lovely cottage in a quiet location, enabled us to explore more of the North Highlands. Worth knowing that as the change over is a sunday to make sure you get some essentials before going to the cottage as local shops are shut after check-in time. The house was very easy to relax in and the number of downstairs rooms meant we weren't constantly on tRead moreop of one another. Very dog friendly and great space for large groups! Hide

It is a lovely cottage with superb views in perfect secluded spot. The boundary is enclosed and safe for dogs to roam around once the main gate is locked. The water colour is a bit stained due to it being from a private source and treated with Peat. As the shops are at driving distance, its best to carry bottled water with you when you arrive if thRead moree colour puts you off, the taste was fine. It took us some time to figure out the AGA oven, but it was quite handy once you get the hang of it. Hide
