A lovely cottage in a peaceful location
A lovely fully renovated old cottage in a stunning lochside location with great views and garden. Very peaceful and relaxing but only a few minutes drive from Lochcarron which has great local shops, cafes, pubs etc. Loads of great walks and scenic days out on the doorstep - The Isle of Skye is only 45 mins away and not to be missed! The cottage is comfortably furnished and well maintained with a modern bathroom, decent Wifi, smart TV and a lovely logburner. There was also good mobile 4G signal on Three mobile for us as well as Wifi. The owner was very helpful and responsive with any questions. Overall a great place to stay!

Scotland at its best sun and rain lol
Lovely location a semidetached cottage and we had the smaller of the two, living room was a bit dark but was nice, not enough plug sockets for our liking but we have a lot of electrical equipment, the staircase is in need of some attention very noisy and one step higher than the rest, but having said all that it was a lovely 2 weeks and all the faults were only minor inconveniences so only a 4 out of 5 a good holiday

Peaceful relaxation
We had a wonderful week at Park Cottage on the outskirts of Lochcarron. It was a beautiful sunshine week except for the day we arrived which was absolutely pouring. Straight across from the house down a hacked out pathway you can get to a pebble beach that has a picturesque wreck. Further up the road in the opposite direction from the village you can get to a lovely little pier to swim from and even further up the road there is a wonderful pebble beach hidden from the road that drops off quickly into deeper water and at high tide doesn't have any seaweed. We did a few day trips through to Skye and also did the most stunning drive across the Bealach na Ba to Applecross which I would highly recommend!! Patricia the host is wonderful and answers quickly to any queries. The cottage was lovely and clean. It is not made clear on the site that the cottage is actually adjacent to the main house. The photo of the outside shows the house and the cottage and we thought we would have the whole property. The family who was in the other property was lovely but you could see they also weren't expecting to see other people there and to 'share' the outside space during such a lovely week. The heating is controlled by the people in the other property although there is a booster to the heating in the cupboard upstairs. We didn't find the folder with information on the heating until the 3rd day in when we went through the stack of brochures under the TV console as we already had our week planned and didn't watch any TV. It could have been left out on the table to be easily accessible. Overall we had a wonderful time and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting to visit that part of the world! Thank you Patricia.

Beautiful location and nice well equipped cottage but with problematic basic flaws
The cottage was warm, comfortable and beautifully siutated. It is quite remote and mobile 4g works only on some phones. not on others. The place was very clean, beautiful new bathroom and well equipped kitchen. (Except for good sharp knives, and basic washing up cloths, dishwasher tablets and washing powder, which were all sorely lacking). The fire alarm is very sensitive and goes off if the bathroom door is opened after a shower or the kitchen when something is roasting in the oven. Can be avoided if windows are opened and the rooms aired, but when it was pouring outside this was impossible and the alarm became quite frustrating, Our major problem was that the windows in the downstairs are all Velox, too high to open without standing on a chair and even then only the taller memeber of our party could open and close the windows in the bedroom and kitchen. no pole was provided. This also meant that in rain these rooms could not be ventalated, and no midge nets so windows had to be shut in the evening too. Comminication with the property owner was good in that they answered the phone number provided and were helpful and efficient in solving our probelms on arrival (the window in the downstairs bedroom had been left open an the carpet and one bed were sodden). However, there was no follow up to check up on the issue (which impacted on our stay significatly). Instructions for the house and the utilities were also insufficient, (We discovered the manual for the washing macjine by chance). We enjoyed our stay nevertheless, the house is comfortable an warm, but needs attention to detail such as the pole for the velow windows, and vis a vis the kitchen equipment, and in general more detailed instructions were needed (eg the bathroom heater we could not turn off which in hot weather would have been very unpleasant). The surrounds are very beautiful with easy access to cycling, walking, swimming and the village is three miles down the road with a post offfice ad well stocked supermarket,

Great location for access to the Highlands and the Applecross peninsula
This small but perfectly formed accommodation provides the perfect place to stay overlooking Lochcarron. The villages around Lochcarron provide several excellent places to eat, with the Spa providing a good range of produce. Lochcarron is in a good position for exploring both Skye and Wester Ross although be prepared for long drives as the roads are slow. We will definitely return to this area and consider this property again.

Rural retreat
The location was wonderfully rural, the loch views and surrounding hills spectacular. The house and gardens lovely. The beds we used were comfy. The heating system is reliant and operated from the ajoining house which was fine at this time of the year, as the weather was nice. I had not realized the cottage was joined onto another letting property , (maybe this should be clearer) therefore there was some noise we hadn't expected. One set of bedding on a single bed needed replaced. (We didn't use that bed ) However, the rest of the holiday and the comfort was really nice.

Very nice cottage in beautiful location
A well maintained property in a very quiet rural location. Ideal base for walkers and nature lovers. Good local bistros. Lots of parking space. Property is joined to another holiday cottage. The heating for both properties is provided by 1 boiler in the adjoining property, but you can heat your own hot water if necessary and there is a lovely large wood burning stove. We didn't have any problems with this arrangement. Property name is not visible from the road, you need to go through the gate and look at the bottom of the door to see it. I would happily stay here again.

Stunning view, tranquility, nature, comfort.
We loved our week's stay in Park House. It was everything we hoped it would be. The house was spotless, warm and very comfortably furnished. The kitchen had all amenities and was very well equipped with crockery, utensils, cookware, pans etc. Nothing had been forgotten. The beds were comfortable and the rooms light and airy. But really it was all about the view (better than the photos!) The terrace runs across the front of both rental properties and provides the most stunning, elevated view of the loch. From morning till night, it was an absolute pleasure to gaze over it and hear nothing but birdsong and the occasional bleat of a sheep. Even when indoors the windows still provided that fabulous view. Lochcarron village is three miles along the shore and provides a few cafes and pub dining, a shop etc. We enjoyed trips to Skye, The beautiful Kyle of Lochalsh and, our favourite, Plockton which is a tiny village about 40 minutes drive away. We booked a cruise online with Callum's Seal Trips - it leaves several times daily from Plockton - and was a great way to see the loch and plenty of seals. Another highlight was our visit to nearby Atterdale Gardens - well worth a visit with such an amazing range of plants, vistas, natural woodland and ornamental gardens. Strathcarron train station is about 5 miles away - the trains are a great way of sightseeing as they run along the edge of the loch and provide lots of great views. Our host Patricia left us to enjoy the peace and tranquility, but was easy to reach by phone or text whenever we had any queries. Altogether a lovely and very welcome break!

Could do with updating
Heating was a problem, as the boiler for the central heating is controlled by the property next door, so if it is unoccupied you cannot have the central heating on. The shower wasn't very powerful and the mattresses could do with replacing.

Surprisingly spacious. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Stunning view over Loch Carron. Spar store in nearby Lochcarron has a supermarket style range of food, even gluten free, as well as delicious Torridon hot, and cold, smoked salmon.

Quiet scenic location
The house is much bigger than we expected and much brighter. The glass door in sitting room brings the wonderful location overlooking Loch Carron streaming in. The garden is lovely. The log burner is cosy but there is heating too. The house is traditional with modernisation. Marvellous location for exploring the stunning areas all around. Guests from next door Park House access their house across the path in front of the glass door and garden space is shared.

Great, unless you need wifi/internet
Overall, it's a nice cottage and we enjoyed our stay. However... to advertise that it has Internet was a stretch. First, maybe mistakenly, I assumed that meant wifi in the house - it doesn't have this. There is no broadband/wifi. Second, instead, information on arrival said there was a constant 4G signal in the cottage. Amongst our party we had O2 and Vodafone users, and we could get a signal downstairs only if we stood right by the front door or even outside the door; upstairs, we could get it in the morning but not in the evening. This caused a meltdown for my teenage son on the first evening, and prevented me from working in the evening. However, the beer garden at the pub in the village does have wifi, so all is not lost. Be aware that the cottage is 2.5 miles outside Lochcarron, so it's a long walk home from the pub! In the ground floor bedroom (two single beds) there is a very large skylight but no curtain/screen, so we had to buy a sleepmask for my son since it was light at 4-5 am.

Work in progress
The photo of the property suggests it is the cottage, but the cottage is really an annex to the house occupying only 1/3 of the building area. The front door key was broken in the lock and had not been repaired, so access was through a store room at the side. The garden is completely overgrown. The driveway is very steep, too steep for a rwd car and is only gravel. Central heating is fed from the house and cannot be controlled. There is a resident mouse in the kitchen. The cottage is still being renovated and two side rooms are full of building materials and tools. Saying that, the location is fantastic with respect to immediate vicinity and access to many great places. The wood burning stove was very cosy and effective at heating the whole cottage except for the downstairs bedroom. The two bedrooms were a good side and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay despite the negatives.Perfect location!!! Lochcarron village is nearby and charming with good facilities.

Paradise in Scotland
It was so much more than any of my earlier dreams could have imagined. THE ROOMS WERE EXCELLENT. Everything we required ( crockery, cutlery, towels, sheets hot water ,etc.). My son and I just did not want to leave. The countryside views were wonderful and we were able to travel around to other places such as the village of Torridon,

Appartement met prachtige tuin en schitterend ‘lochzicht’
Park Cottage is een compleet uitgerust appartement op een prachtige locatie enkele kilometers buiten Loch Carron zelf. We genoten van de rust, de fraaie tuin en het uitzicht op het loch en de bergen tegenover ons. De slaapkamer boven is schattig, de andere slaapkamer is ‘basic’. Wie makkelijk Engels leest kan met de gevarieerde huisbibliotheek wel een paar jaar vooruit. De keuken is een prima en ruime plek om uitgebreid te koken. Je kunt de inrichting ook ‘basic’ noemen, maar de stoelen, bijvoorbeeld, zaten veel beter dan die in andere verblijven. Wij vinden het een aanrader :-)

Fantastic
We were lucky to get the house which was amazing even feeding the boiler each morning was fun. Never had to do anything like that in Aussie. The facilities were fantastic and much appreciated. The location was great for day trips to places like the Isle of Skye and the Talisker Distillery of course. Even got to drive over Bealach Na Ba both ways - exhilarating but scary. Views of Loch Carron from the house were quite stunning. Beautiful part of the world with great accommodation to boot.
