Udrigle House is a wonderful grade A listed property built around 1700, situated just over one and a half miles from the small village of Laide. Its coastal position enjoys panoramic views over Gruinard Bay and distant views of the Summer Isles and the mountains in the north. The house was lovingly renovated by the present owners and retains many of the original features, including the wood panelling, a box bed and the marriage fireplace.
Seldom available, the property oozes charm and history and throughout is tastefully furnished and equipped to a high standard. Located over three floors, the accommodation is spacious and would make an ideal base for a family or for a group of friends. The area is ideal for walking, climbing, fishing and bird watching. However, the main attraction in the area must be the white sanded beach at Mellon Udrigle, which is located just a short drive away.
Further afield a local pub can be found in Aultbea (4 miles), and in Gairloch (17 miles) a great range of facilities including boat trips, riding and golf course are available. Inverewe Gardens are also close by and well worth a visit to see the vast range of exotic flowers.

We loved Udrigle House. The house is clean, spacious, and has a lot of character. The location is perfect; a few feet from the shoreline with a view of magnificent mountains across the bay. We watched otters just outside the house and in the next bay along every day. There are two lovely beaches within walking/cycling distance of the house. We hope to stay here again in the not too distant future.
We stayed at Udrigle House near Laide. It is a beautiful old house, very well maintained and a lovely place to stay, being within a few yards of a quiet stretch of the seashore. We booked the house only a few weeks before our holiday. The booking process was simple and straightforward.
House is set in a lovely location, was clean on arrival, owners leave nearby and on hand to sort out any issues. On arrival we were told the sauna was not working, which was not an issue for us. Although there is WiFi the speed is very slow, I ended up using my phone network as it was faster. The house is full of character, but it's a big place and does take some warming up
Thoroughly enjoyed our week at Udrigle House. Johanna was the perfect host and couldn't do enough to help. We arrived late and in the dark yet she had ensured lights were on and provided a torch to help us unload. House was perfect for us and our Berneses Mountain dog. Loads of walks locally and no need to travel far.
Excellent traditional house lovingly restored. Owners were extremely helpful and friendly. Amazing features such as marriage box double bed, Rayburn and top floor sauna. Location and views from the property fantastic - looking north towards the summer isles and mountains of Assynt. Great local amenities - Laide post office, Ault Bea stores and Perfume Cafe and Poolewe market, cafe and shop. Would go there again in a heartbeat.
Returned for the third year running to this exceptional historic house in stunning situation by a quiet bay. Best views ever from any holiday house we've stayed in. First-class service from Wilderness Cottages and from the lovely owners who live nearby the property. Thank you!
The house was lovely and the owner was very helpful. The views from the garden were beautiful and we were able to watch dolphins and seals (with some of the seals coming out onto the rocks beside the house). The kitchen was very spacious and having the Rayburn for the cooking was great. All three bedrooms were quite unique in their own way, with the two larger ones restored with as much of the original materials as possible. The whole house was very clean, well equipped and we all enjoyed our stay and would thoroughly recommend staying here.
