Downstairs the House enjoys open plan living, creating a very sociable but practical space. The house is equipped with a smart TV, DVD blue ray player, wi-fi to keep you connected to the outside (if you wish!) and a superb wood burning stove to curl up by at night. You’ll find the kitchen well equipped with all the appliances you will need for your stay including a range cooker, dishwasher and a super-sized fridge freezer.

The house even has a boot room with oversized washer and dryer with well thought out space to hang wet muddy gear after your adventures of the day. Ideally suited for couples looking for a romantic escape, where friends and family can also join you should you wish.
Prepare to be wowed by the views from upstairs where you can watch the Atlantic swells, stunning stars, or even the illusive Northern Lights all dance their merry displays across the huge picture window; there’s even rockers and slouched comfy sofa for night-time star gazing or post dinner drinks!
There are three gorgeous bedrooms. The master bedroom upstairs offers a quiet sanctuary should you wish to escape to a more intimate space, both double rooms have super king feather topped beds and the smaller twin room is perfect for children. The finest linens are used throughout each room and feather-free options are available if required. The property also has two bathrooms one upstairs and one downstairs, with oversized shower or bath.

Guests Comments:
“The House is a home from home for us – every year we return to have our summer break in this fabulous part of the world! The accommodation is first class – and excellent enclosed garden for our dog. Fiona and Robbie on hand if we need anything which we never do as everything is at it should be. Very handy for beach and mountain walks and the ferry to Cape Wrath which is one of my five walks up to the lighthouse and back. Very glad to see Balnakeil craft village is reviving itself – great new restaurant The Whale Tale and great soya lattes in Cocoa mountain. And the shop in village caters for most. Top quality all round with location and accommodation.”
