The house has commanding views on all sides, including two of Scotland's greatest mountains; Slioch and Beinn Eighe and just a short distance from Torridon and Loch Maree.
Pine Martens visit the house regularly (especially if you feed them!) and deer and eagles are often seen.
The house is a short distance from the numerous sandy beaches and bays around Gairloch, Red Point and Torridon.
This is a perfect location for wildlife including trips to see whales, Basking Sharks, Seals, walking/climbing, touring, and enjoying the magnificent scenery. Other quality cottages by the sea, near Gairloch.

As a mountaineer i can honestly say if i could buy a cottage in any location Torridon's Ciarn Sheil would be it. Beinn Eighe is basically in the backgarden, with Liathach & Beinn Alligin five minutes drive down the road. If you head in the other direction you come (via the lovely cosy climber's pub at Kinlochewe Hotel within easy walking distance!) to the base of Slioch... what more could you want? Actually if the answer to that is comfortable accommodation with some resident pine martens and an accesible selection of non-challenging but still stunning walks (in case your muscles need a chance to recover between Munroes) then stay here - you will not regret anything but leaving! |
