Tigh A Chreagan Self Catering

Tigh-A-Chreagan self catering cottage, by Applecross, Wester Ross, Log fire, sleeps 4 - One very well behaved pet welcome.

If you have not visited the Applecross peninsula before you will like most visitors be captivated by its landscape, The Gaelic name for the area of Applecross is 'a Chomraich' which means 'The Sanctuary' and the peace and the tranquility this area offers makes us want to return again and again. You can 'listen to the silence'. The village of Applecross is just 4 miles from Tigh-A-Chreagan and a meal at the award winning Applecross Inn is definitely recommended, seafood being a speciality. The Potting Shed situated within the grounds of Applecross House, is highly recommended too, as is the Flower tunnel at the campsite. The village also has a small shop and now has its own petrol station, run by the local community.

Tigh-A-Chreagan is an ideal location for your self catering holiday, offering quality accommodation with walks from your door. The hill lochs offer some wonderful wild brown trout fishing and the local sea fishing can be exceptional. Wildlife abounds, golden eagles, sea eagles, otters, seals these are just some of the many species to be seen. Roe deer are often spotted around the cottage and the magestic red deer frequent the hills. You can cycle on the quiet lanes or go sea kayaking around the peninsula. In the village at Toscaig, you can purchase freshly made bread, locally grown vegetables, salad produce and a mobile shop visits weekly.
