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. Satellite broadband has recently been installed. 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 perfect base for exploring the Applecross peninsula, which offers a beautiful coastline, mountaineering, 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 and mice may sometimes be heard in the attic. The house is very old and it is not possible to seal up every single tiny gap to stop mice getting into the attic (we've tried this!). 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!

Please note that because of the Covid situation, to reduce the risks of transmitting Covid between guests, and to our cleaner, we are leaving 24 hours between guests leaving and the next guests arriving. Please build this 24-hour gap in if you make an instant booking. We really appreciate your understanding for everyone's benefit.
