Lochcarron is bounded by the loch on one side and attractive cottages and houses that straddle the main street, on the other. There are a number of pubs, cafés and shops here, as well as a golf course, which is open to visitors.
The area is also a haven for wildlife. Otters and seals can be seen along the shoreline and dolphins have been spotted in the bay. There are plenty of interesting and unusual places to visit, all within easy reach. The fairy tale castle of Eilean Donan, enchantingly situated on a promontory in the loch and accessed by a small causeway, is well worth a visit. A spectacular route takes you past this famous castle and through the amazing mountain range known as the Five Sisters of Kintail and beautiful Glen Shiel, before reaching the shores of Loch Ness.

Nice cottage, but some aspects could do with updating. Lots of pans but none were non-stick, could do with sharper scissors and knives. Some of the light bulbs were not working properly and not as clean as I would have hoped. Comfortable beds and sofas, lots of fridge space, good parking. Nowhere to eat locally except the hotel which didn’t have good reviews, although the village had a good shop and a petrol station.
