The Cottage is a traditional 19th century stone-built Highland croft house.

It's set in six acres of working croftland, on the shores of Loch Ewe in the western Highlands of Scotland.

Ideally placed for walking, fishing, boating, climbing, watching wildlife or just relaxing, it has spectacular views of the mountains of the Great Wilderness and the Torridons.

We enjoy beautiful sunrises, sunsets and moonrises...

, and we're within walking distance of some lovely sandy beaches.

The cottage has its own enclosed garden area, plus ample parking (all cars left at guests' own risk), and pedestrian access to the loch's pebble shore.

We welcome children of any age plus pets. The croft is fully enclosed and fenced.

Although carefully restored, Coille Bheag has retained many of its original features and rustic character and is open all the year round.

The living room has a compact Aga stove which burns coal or wood, set in the original old stone fireplace. The room has a TV and DVD/CD player as well as sofa, coffee table and two armchairs. You can browse through books from Coille Bheag's library, too - many on local history and geography. A range of DVDs & CDs is also available.

The spacious modernised kitchen/dining room is fully equipped with electric cooker, microwave, fridge, freezer, cupboards, automatic washing machine, toaster and ironing board/iron.

There is a dining table and six chairs, and all cookware, crockery, glassware and cutlery is provided. If you give us your order, we'll also do any other local shopping you require before you arrive..

We provide tea, coffee and sugar, and as a welcome to you, we provide a bunch of fresh herbs plus local paper, Radio Times, fresh milk and a bottle of Fraoch, the local heather ale.

You can order more fresh produce - including eggs from our chickens - any time during the season. We have fresh salad and herbs year-round.

Come for Christmas week, and we'll even decorate a free Christmas tree from our managed woodland to put you in the mood for celebrating!

The bathroom is at ground-floor level, and has double glazing, electric wall heater, full-size bath, electric shower, shaver point, washbasin and lavatory. A good stock of towels is provided.

The cottage has electric panel heaters in each room to supplement the wood stove in the living room, and can accommodate up to six people plus baby.

There is also a heated conservatory area where you can put your feet up and enjoy panoramic views, or enjoy breakfast on a sunny morning.

Outside is an enclosed garden area (deckchairs provided) but you are very welcome to enjoy the rest of the croft and walk down to the loch shore.
