The
Cottage
is a traditional rustic stone-built croft house, well over a century
old, 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, watching wildlife or just relaxing,
it has spectacular views of the mountains of the Great Wilderness
and the Torridons and is only a few minutes' drive away from the
world-famous Inverewe Gardens.

The
cottage has electric heating to supplement its open fire, has
been refurbished throughout and can comfortably accommodate up to six
people plus baby.
The
cottage has its own enclosed garden, parking area (all cars left
at guests' own risk), access to the loch's pebble shore and welcomes
children of any age plus pets. 
Although
restored and modernised, Coille Bheag has retained many of its original
features and is open all the year round. Click

The
living room has a stove which burns coal or wood, set in the
original stone fireplace. It has been recently refurnished, and there
is a TV and VCR as well as a sofa, a coffee table and two armchairs.
You can browse through a shelf of books from Coille Bheag's library,
too - including many on the history and geography of Wester Ross. A
range of adult's and children's videos is also available.

The
spacious kitchen/dining room is fully equipped with electric
cooker, microwave, fridge, spacious cupboards, automatic washing machine,
toaster and ironing board/iron. There
is a dining table and chairs and all cookware, crockery, glassware and
cutlery is provided. If
you give us your order when you book, we'll also do any other shopping
you require.
You'll
find the kitchen cupboards stocked with tea, coffee, sugar and seasonings,
and we provide a welcome pack - a complimentary bottle of wine,
litre of milk and a small sample selection of our own organic produce
when in season. Come
for Christmas week, and we'll even throw in a free Christmas tree
to put you in the mood for celebrating! A high chair can be provided
for you on request.

There
is also a heated conservatory area where you can put your feet
up and enjoy panoramic views . 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.
