The Bothy Self Catering

The Bothy, Lochcarron Holiday Cottage, Sleeps 4

Pets Welcome and Open Fire

Nestled in a quiet location in the small hamlet of Achnashellach The Bothy makes an ideal base for exploring the west coast or perhaps hill walking on Fuar Tholl or one of the many Munros in the area. The property sleeps four, however for larger families or perhaps for a group of friends we have in the vicinity Garden Cottage sleeping four.

Inside this charming cottage on the ground floor guests will find the lounge, complete with leather sofas and a traditional open fire, a well-equipped kitchen, and a small utility area, complete the facilities on this level. On the upper level are two bedrooms and a bathroom, complete with a shower. The property enjoys views across mature gardens and guests are free to explore. At the bottom of the garden runs the Lair River and a picturesque waterfall. Guests with young children and pets should be aware that the garden is not fully enclosed.  

Situated eight miles from the property is Lochcarron, the village has a couple of petrol stations, a supermarket, a butchers shop, and a couple of restaurants. Within a half hour of the property you will find Kyle of Lochalsh, for many years a ferry ran from here “over the sea to Skye” nowadays access to the island is via a bridge. The island makes an ideal destination for a day out to enjoy the ever changing scenery and its dramatic coastline.  

The property sits at the foot of Fuar Tholl and offers direct access from the doorstep into the hills, ideal for a spot of walking no matter what your age or ability. For the more adventurous perhaps walk the Coulin Pass, this route at just over nine miles would take approximately 5-7 hours. The route passes through some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland making it highly worthwhile.
