Cosy, remote crofter's cottage overlooking Loch Torridon, Idyllic, Pet-friendly
Achbeag is a traditional croft house in a remote wilderness that has been converted into a very comfortable holiday cottage. It retains many of its original features, with exposed stonework in the sitting room and a multi-fuel stove. It has one en-suite double bedroom and one twin bedroom. Broadband is included.
The cottage has been upgraded over the winter with fresh, comfy carpets throughout and with a new kitchen, which offers increased storage space for food, easier recycling, and a washer-dryer.
The small, remote village of Fearnmore is approximately 25 minutes' drive from Applecross village and 25 minutes' drive from Shielding. Achbeag has stunning views across Loch Torridon towards the Torridonian mountains and the Western Isles, with beautiful beaches nearby. The surrounding landscapes are breathtaking. Achbeag is a great base for exploring the Applecross peninsula, which offers a beautiful coastline, mountaineering, mountain-biking, sea kayaking, fishing, ancient woodlands with rare species of mosses and lichens, wildlife, and excellent local food.
Please note that the cottage is in a remote wilderness and as a result we do inevitably share it with wildlife from time to time. Bats roost in the attic in the summer. Bats and their habitats (including our house) are also protected under UK law, so we are not allowed to remove them- nor would we wish to: they do no harm and they eat the midges!
