About this property
Perched above the shores of Loch Broom in the Braes of Ullapool, Hytte Retreat is a contemporary Highland retreat designed to make the most of its remarkable setting. With uninterrupted views across the water and surrounding hills, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers a front-row seat to the ever-changing light, weather and landscapes of Scotland's northwest coast.
Created by the property owner-builder, Hytte Retreat combines thoughtful architecture with carefully selected materials and understated interiors. Floor-to-ceiling glazing draws the outdoors in, while clean lines, natural textures and modern furnishings create a comfortable and welcoming space for up to six guests.
Consisting of two flats rented together as a whole-property stay, Hytte Retreat is ideal for families or friends looking to explore the Highlands together. Its unique layout includes two self-contained living areas within the property, providing flexibility and privacy for multi-generational groups or those travelling with friends.
Although peacefully positioned above Ullapool, the village harbour, shops, cafés and restaurants are just a short drive away. Whether you're planning boat trips to the Summer Isles, walking adventures through Assynt and Coigach, or simply spending time admiring the views from the house, Hytte Retreat provides a stylish and relaxing base in one of Scotland's most captivating regions.
Set above Ullapool in the Braes overlooking Loch Broom, Hytte Retreat enjoys a privileged position in one of the Scottish Highlands' most captivating coastal regions. From the house, guests can watch the shifting light move across the water and surrounding hills, with views stretching towards the Summer Isles and the wider north-west coast.
Although the village is just a short drive away, the elevated setting offers a welcome sense of space and seclusion. Ullapool's harbour, independent shops, cafés and restaurants provide everything needed for a relaxed stay, while its vibrant cultural scene, boat excursions and local events make it a popular destination throughout the year.
For keen walkers, the adventure begins at the doorstep. A network of trails and quiet routes climbs the hillside above Ullapool, rewarding visitors with panoramic views across Loch Broom and the surrounding landscape. Beyond the village, the coastline reveals a striking mix of sandy beaches, sheltered bays, rocky shorelines and dramatic headlands shaped by the Atlantic.
Further afield, day trips to Assynt, Coigach, Gairloch and Torridon showcase some of Scotland's most recognisable scenery, from the distinctive peaks of Suilven and Stac Pollaidh to white-sand beaches, sea lochs and mountain-lined glens. Yet many guests find that the greatest luxury is simply spending time at Hytte Retreat itself, watching the weather roll across the loch and embracing the slower pace that defines life in the north-west Highlands.
