Situated on the shores of the beautiful river Ewe, The Narrows is a bright, detached holiday cottage. Set in its own private and secluded gardens, it offers peace and tranquillity in a stunning setting. The Narrows is situated just off the picturesque North Coast 500 route, on one of the most scenic parts of this renowned and stunning coastal route. There are superb walks direct from the cottage along the riverbank and through the surrounding hills. The immediate area is a wildlife enthusiast’s paradise. Whales, dolphins, sea eagles and otters are all seen close by, and Pine Martin visit the picnic table just outside the window. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, this unique part of west coast Highlands enjoys a mild climate and is scenic and totally unspoilt. The sub-tropical gardens of Inverewe, just 5 minutes’ drive away, bear testament to this. Golf, fishing, cycling, hill walking, sailing and canoeing are all local pastimes. With wonderful sandy beaches, bays and islands this is an ideal location for visitors and a real get-away-from- it-all holiday. Beach 5 miles. Shop and pub 1 mile.

An absolutely stunning cottage, the only thing that surpasses it is the view! An idyllic location, hidden from the road next to the river Ewe with only the birds and river to listen too and the snow capped mountains to look at . We had the pine martens visiting each evening, the great spotted woodpecker and various other birds in the garden so make sure to keep the treats coming if you're there.The cottage is finished to an amazing standard, beds and sofas super comfy. Lots of storage and living space, lovely idea to have board games in the cupboards for guests. Kenny is a lovely host, really friendly and came to check we had everything we needed on our arrival day and lovely bottle of wine on arrival. The location is great as there is a shop in Poolewe (5 mins down the rd) or in Gairloch 10 min drive there is a well stocked co-op and a morrisons and a fabulous farm shop where my daughter got her chilli and Irn-bru sausages ! I would highly recommend this cottage and would definitely come back to stay again.

A total gem of a place. Super clean too. Even the windows were spotless!We could not fault anything about the property. Loved it. Only issue was no phone signal, but that was EE, my partner was on Sky mobile and he was fine.
