Amazing views from the garden over Loch Duich and the Five Sisters of Kintail; wood burning stove, lochside walks etc etc

Lots of great ones on the whole site. Looking again for one right now!

How far north is north?! West coast do? http://www.tighbanlek.co.uk/ we stayed there for a weekend and it was fantastic. Amazing views, two or three decent pubs reasonably close with food and the house has everything you could
Need. Booked through holiday lettings . Co.uk which is the trip advisor self catering site, has loads of others so sure you'll find something.

What a small world. My fathers family had a croft at strontian. It must just be a few doors down. It was sold a few years and a new house build in it's place. I always had a soft spot for strontian.
