  • A traditional family cottage with spectacular Highland scenery and walks from the doorstep
  • Great base for anglers, nature-lovers, hill walkers, birdwatchers and cyclists
  • Perfect for exploring the North West Highland Geopark
Property code: CA026

This neat little whitewashed cottage is perfectly located for a family or group of friends and their four-legged friend to get out and explore the glorious West Highland countryside. With a gently rippling burn running just next to the cottage and the beautiful shore of Laxford Bay less than half a mile away, there are plenty of lovely local walks to set tails wagging in delight. Sleeping five across three bedrooms and with a warm rug to keep Fido cosy at night, this welcoming single-storey property offers a comfortable stay for everyone.

In the heart of this light, bright cottage is a stylish and comfortable lounge, where the woodburner beckons you to warm your toes after a day out in the fresh air. Enjoy a meal in the neat kitchen/diner before settling down on the sofa for the evening with your canine companion at your feet. The fresh, neutral decor creates a calm and relaxing ambience, and the crisp, white bed linen ensures you will drift off into a blissful sleep. In the morning, let your happy hound out into the fresh morning air while you take in the superb views with a reviving cup of coffee.

The walkers' paradise that is the West Highland Geopark offers endless opportunities for glorious walks and spectacular scenery – not to mention a plethora of new sights and smells for your four-legged friend to enjoy. Watch out for red deer and pine martens, or the golden eagles that soar overhead. Enthusiastic hikers will enjoy the relatively modest challenge of nearby Ben Stack with superb views over Loch Stack below. Further afield, head north towards to Kinlochbervie where you can stock up on supplies before visiting nearby Polin Beach. This breathtakingly beautiful bay is seaside heaven for your canine chum – a huge open space where he can gambol in the waves to his heart's content.

The cottage is lovely and cosy. There is a next door neighbour and another across the road, but we barely saw the people the time we were there. The NC500 runs right by the cottage but was very quiet while we were there. Be aware although theres a Spar in Scourie (with a bar!), there are no supermarkets, no butchers or farm shops nearby so you realRead morely have to collect supplies on your way. We saw several deer in the evenings, such a peaceful place with amazing views of the mountains and loch. Hide

The cottage is warm and comfortable - lots of wood for the wood burner. The A894 allows for quick access north and south. The tidal bay across the road is good for birds. There's another cottage right next door, which was no problem at all but you wouldn't have known from the pics. Washing machine and dryer were useful. You wouldn't say the cottageRead more was stylish but it was comfortable and we thought it was good value - the garden would be good for kids to play in and was fine for our dog. Hide

A lovely cottage, set in stunning scenery. Very cosy, with good heating and a plentiful supply of wood for the stove. Well equipped and spotlessly clean.

The cottage was in an ideal location for exploring north to Durness, and south of the NW coastline to Lohinver, and the surrounding scenery of the cottage was amazing. The cottage itself was clean, tidy and well presented, and everything was as it should be, and the cottage had all that was needed for a enjoyable stay. We stayed for a week with thrRead moreee young children, and they loved it. The garden area was safe and secure, and they loved going over to the loch with their wellies for a paddle! Hide
