The Cottage is a traditional stone-built Highland croft house built in 1841, sleeping up to five people in two double bedrooms and one single bedroom.

"What a gem, great hideaway, don't want to leave. Even the weather was kind to us!" - Pete & Sue, Huddersfield

Like its sister property The Lodge, it commands beautiful panoramic views over Loch Ewe and the mountains of the Great Wilderness, Beinn Eighe and Sutherland.

The cottage has its own  garden area, plus ample parking and pedestrian access to the loch's pebble shore. Huge sandy beaches are within walking distance, or five minutes' drive.

Although carefully restored, the cottage has retained many of its original features and rustic character and is open all the year round. The living room has a wood-burning stove, set in the original old stone fireplace.  We can supply you with fuel, an initial supply which is included in the price you pay, along with electricity. If you need more fuel for the fire, it can be bought locally.

"Finally found somewhere where my husband will switch off and relax! The cottage is lovely and very well-equipped, we all slept really well."  - Ryan, Kelly & Nuala, Stonehaven

The room has satellite TV/radio and DVD/CD player as well as a sofa, armchairs and a coffee table.   Free wifi is available.

You can browse through books from Coille Bheag's library, including children's story books to amuse the younger ones in your family.  You'll also find some board games and jigsaws. 

The spacious modernised kitchen/dining room is fully equipped with electric cooker, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, 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. A high chair is also available. 

"Loved the empty, wonderful beaches, the lochs, the sheep on the road...stunning views over Loch Ewe from the conservatory - the light changes all the time. Nice little house, thank you!" - Le Page family, Rouen, France

We provide cooking oil, condiments, tea, coffee, loo rolls, shampoo and shower gel and a copy of the local paper as well as a bottle of wine  to welcome you to Coille Bheag. 

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 was fantastic - still can't get over the views ... our trip was topped by seeing the Northern Lights!" - Lisa & David, Sheffield

The bathroom is at ground-floor level, and has double glazing, electric wall heater, full-size bath, electric shower, shaver point, washbasin and lavatory. Towels are 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.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday staying at the cottage. We received a warm welcome and felt at home from first walking through the door. The cottage has lots of character, lovely views and access to the coast...there is lots to do and visit close by, especially if you like the outdoors. Many thanks for all the extra wee touches and looking after us so well!" - Gwen, James, Esmé & Hamish, Northmuir, Scotland

Upstairs there are two further bedrooms - converted traditional sleeping lofts with sloping attic ceilings and double-glazing for warmth.

One is a double bedroom (with small double bed) and one a single.  We can supply a travel cot (bring your own baby bedding) if requested.

"What a haven of peace and beauty! And a delightful crofter's cottage, so well-equipped. ...thank you ever so much for your hospitality, and for giving us a chance to enter your lovely world for a few days." - John, Susan and Margaret, London

The cottage has electric heaters in each room.  Beds are made up for you when you arrive.

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