About this property

2 bedroom accommodation in Applecross

Relax and unwind in this 18th-century shepherd’s cottage, set next to two miles of golden sand, perfect for a relaxing retreat.. Enjoying a superb, secluded setting with outstanding bay views, this sympathetically extended, 18th-century shepherd’s cottage is set next to 2 miles of golden sand; a turquoise blue sea with twisting otters and bobbing seals; the Cuillins of Skye on the horizon, with mountains, moorlands, and forests behind.

Attractively and most comfortably refurbished, Cruary has its own garden for sitting out in. The bedrooms and conservatory offer far-reaching views across the sea and to the Isle of Skye. This fantastic property offers a cosy hideaway for all seasons.

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.

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.

To the north of the Applecross Peninsula and with the backdrop of the rugged mountains of Liathach and Beinn Eighe, is an area coming under the care of the National Trust, mostly made up of 750-million-year-old red Torridonian sandstone. A Countryside Centre at Torridon village describes the local wildlife and the Ranger Service offers guided hikes along the Liathach massif or more strenuous walks traversing Beinn Eighe. On past Kinlochewe, the Beinn Eighe Visitor Centre stands as the UK’s oldest wildlife sanctuary, with parts of it clad in Caledonian pinewood, which once covered the whole of the country. A delight for nature lovers, the area is home to deer, pine martens, wildcats, badgers, and foxes as well as buzzards, sea eagles and golden eagles, in addition to a fine selection of flora..

We have stayed at Cruary quite a few times over the years, each time bringing new friends to enjoy the cottage and the area. They never fail to be impressed by the house and its amenities- it is so comfortable and enjoyable to stay in. Whatever the weather, the views are spectacular and can be enjoyed from virtually every room, including the upstairs “ loo with the best view in the world”. This year the owners had made every effort to ensure guests felt safe and protected, and we really appreciated the extra work this must have entailed. We hope to return many times in the future.

The local bay is now inundated with people camping mostly at weekends which spoils the scenery plus they leave litter including human waste. Hopefully this is a short term problem as the estate is going to employ a ranger Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Cruary is by far the best cottage we have ever stayed in. The owners have put so much into creating a lovely home from home and go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Applecross is a stunning location and this cottage must surely be the jewel in its accommodation crown!

Bit of a dilemma.
Bit of a dilemma. This cottage is so good you don't want other people to go in case its full when we want to go again. Everything was perfect and "homely" No criticism at all. We had a fantastic week apart from mixed weather.

An excellent, peaceful cottage.
An excellent, peaceful cottage. Very clean and well equipped. Perfect place to get away from it all. Applecross Inn, Walled Garden and the Junction all provided excellent local food however opening times and availability were already moving toward winter operations (even though it was early september) at The Junction Cafe. Lots of interesting wildlife visits to the garden including Pine Martens, Weasels, Badger and the usual Deer. Excellent beach for dogs within easy stick throwing distance.

I have been to cruary on 5 - 6 occasions now and always enjoyed every second ,cruary is a beautiful cottage surrounded by stunning scenery in every direction. A must for wild life lovers. We had the pine Martin, badger and the deers in the garden this year eating peanut butter sandwiches off the window sill . Amazing place.

Had a fantastic time at Cruary.
Had a fantastic time at Cruary. The cottage is very well equipped, comfortable and clean. The views from all rooms are stunning. It is a wildlife watchers paradise. There are several local walks suitable for everyone. The Applecross Inn serves excellent food and makes you so welcome. We went in February and The Walled Garden was not in full swing so fresh food shopping was limited but we did manage to get a Tesco order delivered to the cottage. Would highly recommend.

Perfect cottage to get away from it all, yet in walking distance of the Applecross Inn and Walled Garden Restaurant. Very high standard of accommodation, with large windows from which to enjoy the panoramic view of Applecross Bay. Also enjoy watching badgers and pine martins feeding just outside. In February the cottage was wonderfully warm and cosy.
