Longa House
Longa House is in Big Sand, on the coast near Gairloch. It's on the North Coast 500 route. It's a detached house, so you're on your own. The main thing is the view. From the front windows and the decking, you look straight out over Loch Gairloch towards Skye and the Outer Hebrides. You can watch the weather come in. It's good for big groups, sleeps seventeen.
There are eight bedrooms and four bathrooms. One bathroom is a ground floor wet room. The house is rated 4 Star, it's well finished. The kitchen is big and has a separate larder. The dining table seats sixteen. There's a woodburner in the main living room.
Upstairs, there's a mezzanine area with more seating and the same big windows. That's a good spot. There's also a study area that can be used for games.
Outside, there's a deck that goes around the sea-facing side. Around the corner is a sauna that fits six people, with a window looking out to sea. The garden is lawned and there's a gate that leads to a track down to the shore and Big Sand beach.
The house has parking for six cars. It has WiFi, TVs, a washing machine, dishwasher. Bedding and towels are included. There's a cot and highchair if you need them.
As for the area, you're right in it. Sheep and cattle wander around freely. You might see otters or dolphins from the house. For a proper beach, Big Sand is just down the track. The National Trust for Scotland's Inverewe Garden is about ten miles away, that's worth a visit. Boat trips for wildlife watching leave from Gairloch. If you want to drive, Applecross is under an hour, through some serious mountains. Ullapool is about an hour north.
