About this property
Just moments from the peaceful shores of Lochcarron the cottage offers an idyllic setting for your visit to the Highlands, making a perfect base for touring or just relaxing.
The traditional terraced highland cottage provides spacious accommodation on a single level for up to 4 people. The layout makes it a comfortable home from home with oil-fired central heating, modern kitchen, a comfortable sitting/dining room and free WiFi. There is a quiet private garden reached by a flight of steps at the rear of the cottage making a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the evening sun. The utility room provides plenty of space for hanging outdoor kit whilst the front vestibule provides more coat hanging and room for golf clubs/fishing rods and other essentials.
The village facilities are all within an easy walk and include a Spar Shop for everyday supplies, Lochcarron Garage for fuel on the doorstep (always of benefit in the highlands) and eating out at one of the three popular restaurants; there are also other hotels and restaurants in the near vicinity of Lochcarron as well as in surrounding villages such as Kishorn, Applecross, Shieldaig and Strathcarron.
The local area provides outstanding opportunities for seeing the highlands at their best including the fabulous scenery and wildlife. The local walks suit all abilities and if you would like some local assistance then guided walks and sea tours are available. Alternatively a quiet exploration of the long established Attadale Estate Gardens with its sculpture collection and historic rhododendron collection makes a worthwhile afternoon outing. Whilst in the highlands it is also fun to watch a local game of Shinty and cheer on the local Lochcarron team. Golf is of course available with a 9 hole course on the Loch shore providing stunning views, there is also a pleasant tea room for refreshments afterwards.

Preciosa casa con todo lo necesario para unas vacaciones inolvidables en el oeste de Escocia. Hemos pasado una semana increíble en Moriston Cotage, la casa tiene todo lo necesario, tranquilidad, limpieza y todo lo necesario alrededor, tienda, gasolinera..... Las camas son muy cómodas y hay acceso a Netflix, que siempre viene bien. Totalmente recomendable para unas vacaciones en las Highland

Een klein eenvoudig huisje in een eenvoudige dorp langs Loch Carron. Goede faciliteiten. Fijne keuken. Supermarkt en twee leuke koffiebars op loopafstand. Bedden zijn wel kort en smal.
