Located at the start of the walk to Glenashdale Falls and the Giants Graves, walkers will enjoy the circular walk that climbs uphill through the woods and to a viewing platform to watch the falls from. For those looking for further adventure, follow the forestry path to either Lamlash or Kildonan. The property is a detached, traditional, red sand stone house which has been in the family for many years.
Whilst modernising the property, many of the traditional features have been retained. The living room has an open fire adding to the ambience of the room, especially after a long walk up the Falls. The dining room has a wood burner which is perfect for cosy dinners together. There is also a couple of easy chairs where guests can relax by the stove and enjoy a glass of wine or simply read a book. The outside area is grassed and there is a patio area for sitting out in the sun. The neighbour’s property is on the site beside and driveway access is shared.
The main village of Whiting Bay is just a short walk where there is bar, restaurant, coffee shop, post office with a small convenience store section, putting green and bowling green. Just further along the road is the Sandbraes area of Whiting Bay, which has convenience store and children’s play park that leads directly onto the beach - a family favourite spot for beach barbecues. Both fishing and golf are available nearby. Beach 200 yards. Shop ¼ mile, pub and restaurant 500 yards.

A lovely house, comfy beds, and everything needed for a stay, good for being central to everywhere, bring your own condiments, and milk etc, Plenty of leaflets on places to visit, which were very helpful, a very relaxing week for us!
