The Cottage is a traditional Highland stone-built croft house, well over a century old.

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 are within walking distance of many beautiful sandy beaches.

If you like landscaped gardens, we are also only a few minutes' drive away from the world-famous Inverewe Gardens.

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 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, spacious 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 when you book, we'll do any shopping you require before you arrive.

You'll find the kitchen cupboards stocked with tea, coffee, sugar and seasonings, and as a welcome to you, we provide a sample selection of our own organic produce when in season.

You can order more fresh produce from us any time during the growing 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 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.

Two steps lead up to the bathroom, which has a double glazed window, electric wall heater, full-size bath, electric shower, shaver point, washbasin and lavatory. A good stock of towels is provided.

The main double bedroom is in what used to be the old front parlour on the ground floor, giving easy access for those with limited mobility.

It has a king-size iron bedstead and many original furnishings and features including an antique spinning wheel.

Upstairs there are two further bedrooms - converted sleeping loftswith sloping attic cdilings. One is a double bedroom and and one a single, with a second full-size pull-out bed if required to make a twin room. There's also a walk-in storage area where you can find extra wardrobe space as well as spare bedlinen and other useful items.

Tthere's a big box full of toys, board games and jigsaws to help while away the odd rainy afternoon.

Beds are made up for you and there are spare blankets and bedding should you require it. A travel cot (bring own bedding) and high chair can be provided for you on request.
