Jura Self Catering

Traditional style holiday cottage situated in the small hamlet of Arrina overlooking Loch Torridon, Wester Ross - Scottish West Coast - Sleeps 4 - 2 Pets welcome (by arrangement) Log fire. 

Jura is a traditional cottage in the remote and un-spoilt hamlet of Arrina on the West Coast of Scotland, the property enjoys unrivalled views onto Loch Torridon and the mountains beyond. The semi detached house, with its open plan downstairs layout, has been simply furnished, and has a cosy feel with an open fire in the lounge, and is now available for self catering holidays.

The area has an abundance of wildlife, golden eagles, sea eagles, otters and seals, and if you are lucky you may catch a glimpse of the Red deer that are often spotted in the area. The local hill lochs offer the chance to catch some wonderful wild brown trout and the sea fishing is not to be missed.

For the walkers among you, the area offers some great walks, there are various mountain paths for you to enjoy, such as the walk from Arrina to Cuaig, from here you can enjoy the wonderful views across to the island of Rona, Raasay and the Isle of Skye or for the more adventurous, a longer walk across the hills to the village of Applecross. The Applecross Historical society also has its base here at Clachan, and is well worth a trip to find out about the history of the area. 

The food lover is also well catered for with some excellent places to eat locally. Shieldaig a short drive away is worth a visit, with its pub and Coastal Kitchen restaurant, they serve a selection of the days catch, straight from the pier to the table, along with some more traditional fayre. Why not pop in to Nanny’s, a traditional highland shop that for many years was the only shop in the area, now serving coffee and cakes and selling locally produced crafts, freshly caught seafood and smoked salmon.

A longer drive from the cottage is Applecross, with its well known hotel, pub and restaurant, together with the Walled Garden & Potting Shed restaurant situated in the grounds of Applecross House. For coffee and cake the Broch bar and Flower Tunnel cafe at the campsite is also worth a visit.  For those wanting something extra special the world famous Torridon Hotel is a short drive away and is always worth a visit.  The spectacular Inverewe Gardens are also within easy reach.

The cottage is in a superb position to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Highlands, and the West coast sunsets.  This traditional house has had a restyle; the downstairs open plan layout makes it spacious and welcoming.
