Leachachan Barn sits in an enviable shoreline location on the banks of Loch Duich. This unique property has been sympathetically converted and retains much of its original character, and this contrasts beautifully, with the contemporary interior it now provides. Inside the property certainly has the wow factor, this is open plan living at its best, with a full height vaulted ceiling, and floor to ceiling picture windows, ideally situated to take full advantage of the views of Loch Duich and the magnificent mountain range of the Five Sisters of Kintail.
Inside the property is furnished with an eclectic mix of modern and traditional furniture, the open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, is a perfect place for the whole family to relax after a day exploring. Throughout the property has beautiful wooden floors and benefits from wifi internet access. In the lounge area the large comfortable sofas are placed not only to enjoy the view, but the warmth from the striking wood burner in the corner. Additional facilities out with this area on the ground floor include, a spacious master bedroom, again with a large picture window, a large utility room, and a shower room.
Upstairs a mezzanine area houses a second bedroom with twin beds, and a small seating area with a television, a perfect place to enjoy the view to the lounge below. Outside the property an enclosed garden is ideal for anyone taking a pet, and located to the rear of the property in an elevated position is a summer house. From the outside guests will notice the striking wooden shutters which can be used if required during the hours of darkness.
Homes & Interiors Scotland Magazine recently ran an article on Leachachan Barn, you can read what they had to say here.
Loch Duich is home to the most iconic of Scotland’s Castles, Eilean Donan, the castle recognised throughout the world has featured in many major films and today you can explore almost every part of it. The Castle also has its own visitor centre and gift shop. Further afield Kyle of Lochalsh is within thirty minutes, and offers a good range of facilities for the visitor. From here guests can take the bridge over the sea to the Isle of Skye, a fabulous day out, and well worth a visit to enjoy the many activities and attractions available including boat trips, historic castles and even a distillery.
North from the property the picturesque village of Plockton lies on the shores of Loch Carron, unusually palm trees line the main street and the village is popular with artists and photographers. The village also offers a small range of shops and a number of quality establishments for lunch or dinner, a popular choice being the Plockton Hotel, which serves the best of the local seafood. Travelling around Loch Carron takes you north to the Applecross Peninsula, Shieldaig and the Torridon mountains. The landscape here is relatively unspoilt and the scenery some of the most dramatic in Scotland.

We had a fabulous week in the gorgeous barn which is very comfortable warm and has great views We didn't know there was a piano which was a bonus The peace was what we went for and we got it - even a telescope for dark nights I dipped in the loch daily - best at high tide and you can use a paddle board if you bring one! We enjoyed all the books with local history and used the maps Ideal for a family as the twin beds are a mezzanine floor We had a couple of day trips to Skye which is amazing but a big day out We hope to return
This is our second visit to Leachachan Barn and found it to be as good as we remembered it. The barn is very light and airy, well stocked with all the equipment and comforts you might need. It has fantastic views across the Loch to the Mountains, it has good parking, wi -fi, and a secure garden. Would definitely recommend it.
Our 2nd time at the barn and another lovely relaxing week over New Year. Lots of walking, running, yoga, meditation and chess by the fire. The barn is beautiful, has everything you need and is in an excellent location, Will be back!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Leachachan Barn. The property is beautifully renovated and has superb views. We found our stay very relaxing. Also, we found the barn was very well kitted out. It was really helpful that items such as plenty of washing up liquid, toilet rolls, salt & pepper etc. were provided. This was really useful. Overall, a very unique property. I would highly recommend.
First stayed in the barn 8 years ago and always said we would return, we stay in a cottage 4 or 5 times a year and have been all over Scotland but this has to be the best cottage views out them all , we spent the evenings watching the changing views of the 5 sisters and never had the tv on once A fantastic base for visiting the surrounding areas , Glenelg, Skye , Plockton etc . The only fault we could find with the cottage was the poor, uneven flooring between the front door and the bedroom, it really could do with being fixed but it wouldn't stop us from returning again Book it , you won't regret it
Just back from a wonderful week near Skye, staying in a converted barn on the shores of a loch, overlooking the mountains. Wilderness Cottages has some really beautiful places to rent, and the people who run it are very helpful and attentive.
