Campbell House is a traditional detached stone-built house approx. 200 years old. For a west coast holiday, the picturesque fishing village of Shieldaig is hard to beat. Fantastic sunsets, fabulous high mountains, beautiful coastline and beaches, and the abundant wildlife is all around. Situated on the NC500, the village is a popular place for visitors to enjoy the outstanding beauty of the area.
Campbell House stands on the loch side, in the centre of the village, overlooking loch Shieldaig and Shieldaig Island which is a National Trust site of special scientific interest and has a thriving bird population, including Herons, Kestrels, Black Guillemots, Long Eared Owls and Mergansers. The RSPB along with the Shieldaig community have raised funds to have two Sea Eagles tagged and brought to Shieldaig island where they can regularly be seen flying high above the village.
Shieldaig lies between Torridon and its ancient mountains and the Applecross peninsula, in the midst of magnificent mountain and coastal scenery. It is an ideal centre for hill walking, climbing, boating, fishing, wildlife watching and touring.
For climbers, there are a number of high mountains within easy reach of Shieldaig and many interesting places to visit. Skye, Gairloch, Ullpool and the beautiful white sandy beaches north such as Achmelvich Bay are a day trip away. There are plenty of beautiful walks around Shieldaig itself.
There is a well stocked shop and a hotel in the village, both just a 100m walk from Campbell House. The Hotel has a welcoming bar and an excellent restaurant. There is the wonderful Nanny’s coffee shop in the village selling beautiful lunches, specialising in seafood and fabulous home baking. There are other good places to eat, catering for all tastes, in Torridon, Lochcarron, Strathcarron, Applecross and Kishorn - all just a 'scenic drive' away. There is also a well stocked shop in Lochcarron.
Campbell House is comfortably furnished to a high standard; a wonderful, warm, homely atmosphere. Central heating throughout and a large enclosed back garden leading up the hillside to the croft.

Campbell House and Shieldaig made the perfect base for exploring the north west highlands. The house was warm and comfy and provided everything you needed with clear instructions for any queries. And the view!! We sat on the bench in front of the parking spot every day for sunrise and sunset.. so beautiful.
Lovely, cosy, comfortable house with stunning views in a quiet beautiful village. Everything catered for and very good value. Not a criticism as I'm sure it can be fixed but there is something wrong with the shower. We could only get cold or luke warm water so needs looking at before next guests arrive. Fortunately it didn't spoil our holiday as we had fantastic weather. Would thoroughly recommend this property

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and feedback on Campbell House. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay but sorry to hear about the issue with the shower. We have passed your feedback onto the owner and this will be looked into at the next changeover.
We had a fantastic week at Campbell House in Shieldaig. The property was spacious, well-equipped, clean and tidy, and enjoys fabulous views of the island. Seeing the sea eagles on a kayak trip and enjoying the many walks around the area were particular highlights - and the pub/restaurant is only 30 seconds away! And a visit to Nanny's cafe is essential (great coffee and bacon rolls!) The owners were very quick to resolve a minor issue we had, and we would recommend this property to anyone. Would love to return.
Wonderful warm house (thankfully, it was pretty wet for much of our week there), comfortable throughout with a well-equipped kitchen. Stunning location, beautiful views, birds and seals on the island visible from inside the house. Perfect for a week exploring the area and the hills. Great food a few houses away at the hotel, especially the very local seafood. Owners very friendly and helpful too!
Fantastic location and very comfortable house. Enjoyed our stay.
Couldn't fault Campbell House comfortable home from home feel and the outlook was amazing.Thanks to Agnes for a warm welcome.
