Ceol na Mara, Loch Kishorn, Strathcarron,  Wester Ross

Sleeps 4 - Pets welcome

Ceol-na-Mara (Gaelic for Music of the sea) cottage is situated on the shore of Loch Kishorn offering superb loch views to the Applecross Mountains and in the distance the Cuillin mountains of Skye. This traditional Highland cottage has been fully modernised, affording self catering guests the convenience and comforts of home on the inside, together with the magical beauty of the Western Highlands on your doorstep and an ideal centre for boating, fishing, hill-walking, climbing, wildlife, seal spotting, cycling and relaxation.

The picturesque crofting village of Kishorn is set in one of the most dramatic and beautiful, tranquil corners of the West Highlands of Scotland. Kishorn is a sleepy little village, quiet and unspoilt, with traditional houses scattered along the shore and neighbouring hillsides.

The cottage is situated within easy reach of many places of interest along the West Coast. Nearer to home, the award winning Kishorn Seafood Bar is open during the summer months and, very popular with tourists and locals alike, is approximately a mile from the cottage. There is a wealth of art/craft studios in the local area, including two well-known artist's studios in Kishorn itself.

Lochcarron, which is approximately 6 miles to the east of Kishorn, has a restaurant, three hotels and a café.  The Spar supermarket for groceries and papers and Maclennan's butchers for meat and fish, (they also visit Kishorn twice a week in their van).  The village also has a bank, petrol station and a doctors surgery. In Torridon, there is a Countryside Centre devoted to red deer and other wildlife in the area.

The cottage is well equipped, cosy and is an ideal base for those wanting to get away from it all.

A gem of a place to stay. In a stunning location (the reality is even more impressive than the pictures) this little sanctuary was a perfect holiday cottage. Well appointed and cosy with beautiful views, lots of wildlife and all the things you need to feel at home. We will be back!

This is our 2nd visit to Ceol Na Mara , and the cottage has had a refurbed Bathroom and new Furniture since our first visit, several years ago. Once again we had a lovely stay - everything was left ready for us and the Cottage was spotless! Everything needed plus more was there and we had a lovely stay. A beautiful little cottage in a stunning location!

Wow what a beautiful cottage with views that you can only dream about. Everything about this cottage was fabulous, so cosy, warm and comfortable. Right on the Loch, just amazing. We had the best week here with our dogs, I can't recommend this cottage enough. We dropped on with the weather too. Very well stocked, a real home from home. Would love to venture back in Winter.

A super week at Ceol na Mara. The cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed in a fantastic location. Enjoyed watching the seals and otters in the bay and even had a sea eagle fly low over the cottage. Lovely walk in the forest at the end of the road with views over to Plockton. Great views from the right of as well. Lovely to meet the cottage owners when we left. Our spaniel loved being in the sea all week and was very sad to leave...
