The Experience

With uninterrupted views across ancient Caledonian forest, rolling hills, and shimmering lochs, this bright, spacious retreat has floor-to-ceiling windows serving up spectacular views of the Torridon Mountains, and a terrace that seems to float over the wooded slope – perfect for sipping a morning coffee or watching the starry night skies.

Inside, natural materials and soft furnishings give a chilled Scandi-Scot vibe. Two cosy, wood-panelled en-suite bedrooms — one with a bath, the other with a walk-in shower — offer quiet comfort. Living is open-plan with a big comfy sofa and a well-equipped kitchen for convivial cooking. There’s a library of nature books, as well as local maps and walking guides, hot water bottles, and wood burners inside and out. 

No TV, but decent internet if you have to keep in touch. Though why would you? Remote and peaceful, this is a sanctuary for rest, renewal, and connecting with the wild within.

We think you'll love

  • The sense of privacy and seclusion – you can't see another property nearby
  • Nature all around – you might spot deer running through the stream below the house. Red squirrels have been introduced in the area and there are sea eagles, golden eagles, otters, and seals too.
  • The stunning scenery and fantastic walks around the loch

Reviews

Ancient forests and abundant wildlife are the backdrop to this stunning location in Scotland. Some of the most spectacular views over the Torridon mountains and the Sheildaig Loch are jaw-dropping. Take a drive out to Eilen Donan Castle or Applecross beach. Hike in the mountains, kayak on the loch, or just sit and enjoy Sophie and Sarah's peaceful and tranquil cabin.
