Eleven Diabaig Cottage is in Lower Diabaig. It's at the very end of the road, about nine miles west of Torridon. You drive down a winding single-track road to get here. It's a proper remote feeling.
The cottage is detached, originally a croft house. It sleep six people in three bedrooms. There's one bathroom. It's got a 4 Star rating. It's comfortable and well looked after, but it's an old house so some of the floors have a slope. The stairs are normal.
You're up the hill a bit from the harbour. From the sun room at the front you look right down over the village to the sea. You see sheep around, and deer sometimes. There are binoculars provided. You might see dolphins.
The kitchen is a big modern extension on the back. It's a good size. There's a wood burner in the living room. It has WiFi and a TV. There's a washing machine and a dishwasher.
The owner lives nearby on the croft. They keep the sheep and some chickens. If you're here in lambing season and you're interested, you can ask about seeing the lambs.
There's a restaurant and bar down at the harbour, about half a mile's walk. The nearest shop is in Kinlochewe, about eight miles back the way you came. For a pub, you're looking at the Torridon Inn or the Gille Brighde in Alligin, both about eleven miles.
You're right between the mountains and the sea. The Torridon hills are on your doorstep for walking. You can walk from the door down to the coast or up onto the moor. For a bigger day, Ben Eighe and Liathach are close by. It's a good base for the Walkhighlands Torridon routes.
You can drive to Gairloch or Shieldaig within half an hour. Ullapool is about an hour. If you want information on the area, National Trust for Scotland Torridon is a useful site.
