Remote Holiday Cottage
Heights of Kinlochewe
Achnasheen
Northern Highlands
Ideal for those looking for a seriously remote Holiday Cottage Retreat in the Northern Highlands, this remote wilderness three-bedroom cottage as seen in the blockbuster movie ‘Stardust”, is perfect for families seeking an isolated escape into the heart of the Scottish Highlands.
Once used as part of the set of the blockbuster movie ‘Stardust’ this spacious cottage is situated on the banks of the Abhainn Bruachaig river in the depths of a beautiful valley. Spend your days spotting the wildlife that passes through the area, including the stags that reside on the estate or splash in the river. Kinlochewe village (3 miles) has a selection of shops, restaurants and pubs and is a popular destination for walkers, climbers and anglers. From the village take the woodland trail through the pine forest for views over Loch Maree or spend the day hiking the Torridon Hills (10 miles). Explore Scotland on the water at Gairloch (15 miles) on a canoe or kayak adventure, or go in search of seals, porpoises and whales on a cruise through the open waters of the North Minch.
Accessed down a 3-mile long rough track, this holiday hideaway is a remote escape for the whole family to enjoy. With no neighbours in sight, step out of your car and absorb the tranquillity of your surroundings, with only the cry of the birds overhead breaking the silence. Head into your holiday cottage where you will find light and airy open-plan accommodation with breathtaking views of the countryside and river. Curl up on the cosy sofa in the living room and while away the hours watching the ever-changing landscape through the patio doors, or gaze through the telescope spotting birds and beasts among the trees, or when the sun sets explore the stars in the clear dark skies. During the cooler months, light the wood burner and relax in its gentle warmth. Your modern fitted kitchen is a cook’s delight, equipped with electric hob and oven, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher. Rustle up a hearty supper of local produce to share around the contemporary dining table. There’s a washing machine and handy internal drying room so you can stay on top of the laundry, whatever the weather. Overlooking the countryside, the master king-size bedroom boasts plush mattresses, crisp linens and cosy duvets for you to snuggle under and benefits from an en-suite shower room with WC. The family bathroom can also be found on the ground floor with shower over bath and WC, and there is a further separate cloakroom with WC. Head upstairs where you will find two cosy twin bedrooms dressed in warm duvets with co-ordinating soft furnishings in muted plaids.
Spread your picnic blanket out in the cottage garden for a spot of sunbathing or an al fresco lunch before wandering down to the river for a paddle. Your cottage is surrounded by open countryside for you to explore where you can spot local wildlife.
