Garden Cottage is in Achnashellach. It's stone built and sits by itself. You'll hear the trains sometimes, the line is behind the cottage. It's quiet otherwise.
It sleeps four. Two bedrooms upstairs, one double and one with twin beds. One bathroom between them. The stairs are a typical cottage staircase, so they're a bit steep and narrow.
You come into a hallway. To the left is the living room with a woodburning stove. To the right is a dining room, then a sun room with doors out to the garden. The kitchen is through there. It has a utility room off it, which is useful for boots and coats.
The garden at the back is enclosed. Your dog can be off the lead there. The front isn't fully enclosed, so you'd need to keep them on a lead, as deer come through.
The place has underfloor heating, which is good. It's a 4 Star rating, so it's comfortable and well kept. We include all bedding and towels.
You're really here for the outside. You can walk straight from the door. There are low-level river walks, or you can tackle the Munros nearby. The Coulin Pass takes you over to Torridon, which is spectacular. The local river, the Lair, has some nice waterfalls.
If you want to drive, the Applecross Peninsula is about 45 minutes over the Bealach na Bà pass. The views from the top are incredible. Isle of Skye and Eilean Donan Castle are also roughly 45 minutes away.
For gardens, Attadale is 15 minutes down the road. Inverewe Garden is about an hour north. For something different, the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve is near Loch Maree, and the Corrieshalloch Gorge is towards Ullapool.
You can book it together with Achnashellach Bothy next door if you need space for more people.
Facilities: parking, WiFi, TV, washing machine, dishwasher. Cot and highchair available. One well-behaved dog is welcome.
