**Reduced prices for April ** Half Moon Bay is a spacious modern home with fabulous views over the bay of Morar towards Eigg and Rum. Situated on the beautiful West Coast of Scotland, Morar is approximately half way between Arisaig and Mallaig. Half Moon Bay is the perfect holiday location for family get togethers, and is the ideal base from which to explore the Highlands and Islands of the West Coast of Scotland. Here there are local activities to suit absolutely everyone, you can enjoy beautiful coastal and mountain walks, while away the hours building a masterpiece on the beach, or simply watch the world go by and enjoy the ever changing vista of the ebb and flow of the tide. The picturesque golf course at Traigh is also just a few minutes drive away and Loch Morar is close by which is the deepest freshwater loch in Europe.

Half Moon Bay provides welcoming, comfortable and spacious accommodation for up to eight people. There is a large well-equipped and modern kitchen with dining for 8. The kitchen was newly installed in Nov 2019 along with all the appliances. The living room has a smart TV with free sat and DVD player which leads to the conservatory with fabulous views across the Silver Sands of Morar and over to Rum and Eigg. The Master bedroom has a king size bed and an en-suite shower room, it has a fabulous gable end full height window which leads out onto a lovely balcony. Here is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast or a glass of wine and just enjoy the view. There is also one twin bedded room, a double room, further shower room, and also an additional bathroom with bath downstairs. Bedding and towels are provided for the 3 bedrooms. If you wish to use the sofa bed, there is a king sized duvet and pillows but please bring your own duvet cover, pillow cases and towels. The sofa bed is a small double and is suitable for 2 children/ young teens or one adult.

Please also bring beach towels. Outside there is a spacious decked area with patio furniture and a bar b que. There is a small grassed area to the side and parking for 2 cars. Please note these outside areas are not secure for children or dogs.

A second living room has a sofa bed which can be used as an extra bedroom if required. This room also has a TV with free sat, a DVD player and an Xbox 360 with games. The property has high speed fibre wifi. Every room in the house (except for the bathrooms) has views over Morar bay towards Rum and Eigg. There is a beautiful beach just a short walk away with many others such as Camusdarach Beach, Tougal and Traigh just a few minutes drive away.

Behind the house the famous west coast railway runs from Fort William to Mallaig. The Jacobite steam train runs throughout the summer months which is a fabulous sight. All trains run very slowly through the village so noise isn`t a problem.

There are many restaurants and bars nearby serving a variety of local produce, but there is a lovely hotel in Morar just a short walk away plus Sunset - a fab Thai takeaway where everything is freshly cooked to order.

For our younger guests a highchair and stair gates are available to use. There is also a children`s play park just across the street. We are also happy to welcome up to two well behaved dogs at a small additional charge. Dogs are not permitted in upstairs rooms or on the furniture. Please bring your pet`s bed and food bowls with you. This site has secure booking but does charge a booking fee. If you would prefer to book directly you can find us by searching for Half Moon Bay Morar.

The property is in an elevated position hence the driveway is rather steep but you can take the car right up to the house.
