Seabank Cottage sits in an enviable shoreline position in the village of Lochcarron, part of the NC500 route. Standing alone, the cottage is the only one on the shore side of the main street, and directly opposite the Waterside Café, making it easily found. It is in a central position in the village of Lochcarron, which has two well-stocked shops, a hotel with bar, cafes, restaurants, petrol stations and electrical charging points within easy walking distance, making it a perfect location for a Scottish holiday, and for those wanting to explore the west coast and the Isle of Skye further, or a convenient stop on the NC500.
With its own off-road parking, this charming and comfortable property has an entrance vestibule leading into the hall, spacious living room and kitchen on the ground floor, and the bedroom and shower room on the upper level. The property is tastefully furnished, has electric heating throughout and is equipped to a good standard. The window in the kitchen offers unobstructed and stunning views over the sea loch and at high tide in early spring and October the water can reach the house which makes it particularly unusual. The dining kitchen has a large table, electric hob and oven, washing machine, tumble dryer, 60/40 upright fridge freezer, microwave and is well-equipped with a range of utensils.
The sitting room has comfortable sofas, rug box that doubles as additional seating, an electric fire and a flat screen 46” TV with chrome cast facility, DVD & Xbox player and a small selection of games and DVDs. Upstairs the generous sized bedroom has twin beds, sofa and plenty of storage space. The modern shower room has a large shower enclosure with an electric shower, wc and whb with 110/240 charging point. At the rear of the property there is a small private patio area giving an unobscured view of the loch and hills beyond, with large wooden table that can seat at least four, chairs and small fire pit (logs can be bought from the Spar shop) providing an ideal place to sit, dine and relax after a day exploring. At the front of the property is a patio table and chairs, rack for two bikes to be secured and storage containing barbeque, golf clubs and zero gravity chairs. The property also has its own clothes drying line on the beach for use during your stay.
The property does make an ideal base for exploring the west coast and is an absolute paradise for all those who love the great outdoors. Here you can enjoy various outdoor activities including, cycling, mountain biking, canoeing and sailing – there is a very active sailing club in Lochcarron that provides lessons for all ages. You can drive round the coast past lovely beaches and breathtaking views to visit the small village of Shieldaig and onwards towards Gairloch and Inverewe Gardens, or perhaps head to Applecross approached by the famous Bealach na Ba, one of the highest roads in Britain, and visit the Heritage Centre or have a bite to eat at the well-known Applecross Inn.
Close-by you can visit Attadale Gardens, offering visitors the chance to explore ancient paths that wind through woodlands, over bridges, waterfalls and exotically planted ponds. Lochcarron also has its own 9-hole golf course in a fantastic loch side location. One of Scotland’s most scenic rail routes, the Kyle Line which runs from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh, is located just a short distance away at Strathcarron and makes an ideal choice for a day out. There are several shops selling crafts, paintings and pottery from local artists in the surrounding area.
The Isle of Skye is located just 25 miles away and is well worth a visit, the island offers a wealth of attractions for the visitor including ancient castles, a distillery, visitor centres, award winning restaurants and some of the best scenery that Scotland has to offer.

characterful cottage as opposed to modern but comfortable, well equipped, superb view of the loch from kitchen, (saw the otter and herons) we had wet weather so needed to use the heaters to keep the rooms warm and aired but no problem with that, village has good facilities and a couple of nice short walks locally
This was our first time staying in Seabank Cottage and we would not hesitate to come back! The cottage has everything you could need for your stay, plus the outstanding location and view from the kitchen window. The team at Wilderness Cottages, who helped me find the right property, were so friendly and helpful too. I would recommend using them to anyone! All in all, a great experience and a wonderful week in the Highlands!
Seabank cottage is a beautifull cottage on the seashore! Looking out off the kitchenwindow, you can see the shore and sea. Nice place, good cottage, everything is there, what you need! We can also hear the Stags roaring!
What a great base Seabank cottage made to explore the surrounding area ie Skye Applecross etc. Set in a lovely village with all the amenities you could need. Even some finer dinning at Rock villa. We spent time using the binoculars provided either looking out from the kitchen or the patio area just to the left of the cottage. All in all a great holiday.
Seabank Cottage is an excellent base for exploring the beautiful Lochcarron, Plockton, Applecross and Skye areas. Being the only cottage right on the shore side of the road, we spent most of our time, while in the cottage, looking out the small picture window from the kitchen right across the Loch at the wildlife and scenery, using the two pairs of binoculars kindly provided in the cottage. The cottage is comfortable, with a superb power shower, and is well positioned in the village of Lochcarron for all eating establishments and the local mini supermarket. A bonus for us with our electric car is that there is an EV charger again just a few steps along the road, so we started every morning with a full tank of electricity!
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Seabank Cottage. The amazing view from the kitchen window alone was enough to win me over but it was also very clean, well-equipped and comfortable with lots of characterful individual touches. its location in Lochcarron was ideal for exploring this beautiful part of Scotland. I would happily return to this special place any time.
