About this property

3 bedroom accommodation in Lonbain, by Applecross

Relax and unwind in this former School House which has been tastefully extended and renovated in 2022. The property offers accommodation for up to five guests. Secluded, yet within a wonderful location to explore.. This gorgeous cottage, within its own walled garden, enjoys a gloriously sunny position on the seashore with spectacular views from most rooms towards the islands of Raasay, Rona and Skye. Reached via a quarter-mile track, the house was originally converted in the 1980s, whilst retaining interesting original features and has been extended and renovated in 2022. Formerly classrooms, the part-panelled living room and well-equipped modern kitchen feature lovely high ceilings, and there is a large picture window in the sitting room, ideal for viewing wonderful sunsets and abundant wildlife.
Sandy beaches are to be found at Sand Beach (3 miles) and Applecross Bay (7 miles); the village of Applecross itself is home to a couple of great restaurants, including a multi-award winning restaurant serving fresh seafood dishes, as well as a Post Office/local store. The sheltered, fertile coast around the village is idyllic, you can wander along lanes banked with wild iris and orchids and explore beaches and rock pools on the shore.
Several National Trust for Scotland properties make for good days out, including Strome Castle, and the Countryside Centre at Torridon (open May to September), the latter providing an insight into local flora, fauna and geology. From Torridon village, a scenic drive takes in the shoreline before winding past cliffs and gorges up to Diabaig, whilst 8 miles to the north, Lake Maree is dotted with Caledonian pine clad islands and lies as a scenic gem. The surrounding area also offers some of Scotland’s best deer-sighting country. This property is in an excellent location for outdoor pursuits including hill-walking, climbing, kayaking, paddle boarding and cycling. Fishing and golf are also both within driving distance. Shop 9 miles. Beach 3 miles.. 1 step to entrance.

This is a magical home for those that love the outside, nature, rugged scenery and fresh air.
This is a magical home for those that love the outside, nature, rugged scenery and fresh air. The location is simply stunning. The house has everything that one could ever want whilst on holiday. It is well equipped, has plenty of space and lots of hot water for that rewarding bath after an energetic day's outside activity. The sea is a stone's throw away. It is crystal clear and remarkably cold for those brave enough to swim which we did, every day. The views are ever changing. This being Scotland you can witness driving rain and brilliant sunshine in a ten minute window. But that's really it: the place is alive and vibrant and beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us.
