  • Perfect cosy rural and romantic studio set within the stunning 64,000-acre Applecross Estate
  • Wood burner for keeping warm on cooler days
  • Highland cattle in the fields, deer grazing in the policies, abundant wildlife and the Applecross bay beach is within walking distance.
Property code: OC-CA186

Feel like the top dog with a stay at this wonderfully renovated Scottish property, where underfloor heating and a wood burner welcome you after a long day of exploring the Highlands. The home is perfectly appointed for a romantic walking trip for two, but we've no doubt your four-legged third wheel will happily invite themselves along for the ride. Luckily, the cottage comfortably sleeps two humans and one canine companion, so everyone can rest happily here on the west coast of Scotland.

The natural stone property has been entirely modernised inside, offering a contemporary space to make yourselves at home. Set out as a ground floor studio, your prized pooch will no doubt adore sleeping in front of the wood burner with the two of you snoozing away in close proximity. The home is well equipped with a comfy king-size bed, a welcome treat after a long day of walkies. You won't find a TV at this property, so it's ideal for spending some quality time together and ensuring undisturbed attention is given to your pampered pooch.

Enjoy a 1-mile walk to Applecross, where a local pub boasts waterside views in the summer and cosy open fires in the winter, yet always offering good food and a welcome to any dog on a lead. Just half a mile from the property, you'll find the dog-friendly Applecross beach, perfect for splashing in the waves, rolling in the sand and fetching seaside sticks. Enjoy far-reaching views out to the Isle of Skye and plenty of long walks along the coast. Those less keen on that wet dog smell can instead embark on a dry route up local Beinn Bhan (6 miles), a straightforward walk that's ideal for both man and dog.

A perfect peaceful base for exploring the Applecross peninsula. Eating out at the walled garden was excellent, but closes in October. Wet weather gear may be needed, lots of walking and trails right from the cottage. A torch is needed if walking at night. Only one shop locally for food shopping.. We have returned many times.

The Cottage has everything needed for a comfy stay. The WiFi was stronger than we thought it was going to be, able to support live streaming etc. Large enclosed woodlandRead more garden, very shady, ideal for dogs. Lots of lovely local walks.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. The jam factory is within its own grounds, has everything needed, spotlessly clean. Within the picturesque Applecross Estate. I couldn't think of a nicer location or accommodation. Isobelle was very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend the Jam factory.
