Callakille Self Catering

Callakille self catering cottage, by Applecross, Wester Ross, Log fire, sleeps 4

Callakille is a charming croft cottage situated on its own, 8 miles North of Applecross village on the beautiful Applecross peninsula. The cottage is just 50 yards from the beach on a scenic stretch of the West Coast of Scotland, a region renowned for its dramatic scenery, especially the Pass of the Cattle, and its wonderful marine life. It has spectacular views over the Inner Sound of Raasay to Rona, Raasay and the Isle of Skye and its unrivalled position makes it a peaceful haven where you can relax, unwind and perhaps sample some of the coastal and mountain walks, great sea and trout fishing and a beautiful sandy beach a couple of miles away at Sand.

The village of Applecross 8 miles away has two restaurants worth a visit, The Potting Shed and The Applecross Inn both serving locally caught fish. Also at Applecross village is a local shop for the necessities with a Post Office and petrol pump and for coffee and cake there's the Flower Tunnel at the campsite. The larger village of Lochcarron is 28 miles and Inverness is 80 miles away.

The Gaelic name for the area of Applecross is 'a Chomraich' which means 'The Sanctuary'. You will understand, immediately you arrive, why it was given this name, as it is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful and remote wilderness areas on the west coast of Scotland, lying between the Scottish mainland mountain masses and the Isle of Skye.

This gorgeous little croft has been refurbished using a mix of traditional and modern pieces to create an enjoyable and relaxing environment in a traditional setting which is relished by our holiday visitors.  The croft is seclusion and is perfect for enjoying magnificent west coast sunsets or on a clear night, stargazing.
