Woodside Lodge Self Catering

Woodside Lodge self catering cottage overlooking Loch Kishorn, Wester Ross - West Coast of Scotland sleeps 4 - 2 adults 2 children, pets welcome.

Woodside Lodge is situated on a working croft in the village of Achintraid on the shore of Loch Kishorn offering superb views over the loch to the Applecross mountains, one of the finest wilderness areas in Scotland. The property has recently been re-fitted throughout offering guests very comfortable accommodation in a stunning West coast location. An ideal centre for boating, fishing, hill-walking, climbing, wildlife, seal spotting, cycling and relaxation.

There are sheep and poultry on the croft, so dogs are allowed but must be under control at all times. Fenced garden with the property. The village of Kishorn has a general store and post office. There is also an excellent seafood snack bar offering delicious locally caught fish and shellfish..

Whilst staying at Woodside Lodge you may catch a glimpse of the resident Pine Martens or see the otters in the bay. Roe and red deer are often seen around the chalets at dusk and early morning. Golden Eagles have been spotted whilst making the trip to Applecross and in the Kishorn Glen, so don't forgot your camera!

Lochcarron is just seven miles away offering shops, hotels, restaurants and garages. The local craft shops and the Lochcarron Weavers are well worth a visit. Bikes available for hire.
Twelve miles around Loch Carron are Attadale Gardens which have an abundance of plants, trees and shrubs, together with brilliant displays of rhododendrons and azaleas, against a backdrop of pine and heather clad mountains.

A drive over the Bealach Na Ba (Pass of the Cattle) provides breathtaking views of Loch Kishorn and across to Skye, leading you to Applecross where there is an award winning pub/restaurant and beautiful unspoilt beaches which offer stunning views of the isles of Raasay and Skye.
In Torridon, there is a Countryside Centre devoted to Red Deer and other wildlife in the area.
There is a wide range of loch and sea fishing available to visitors in magnificent scenery in and around Lochcarron. Some lochs are close at hand and others are a bit of a walk. Brown Trout are the most common of hill loch fish, though there are a couple of lochs which support Artic Char and Pike.
