About this listing

The Beach House couldn’t get much closer to the white sugar sands of Traigh Beach with it’s mesmerising views over to the Inner Hebrides and the Isles of Muck, Rum, Canna and Skye.

The white sandy beaches at Traigh, near Arisaig, epitomise the ideal West Coast of Scotland beach with sheltered bays, expanses of silvery sand, a backdrop of coastal grassy machair and great views to The Small Isles beyond.  There is an abundance of hill walking both high and low level in the area. Great beaches for swimming, kayaking, beachcombing, rockpooling, wildlife spotting and picnicking.

Golf, beaches, rest and relaxation.

You’ll find it all here in the beautiful West Coast of Scotland at Traigh – the Gaelic word for beach. Across the single track road from Traigh Beach House are a series of white sandy beaches complete with a wonderful collection of dunes – ideal for sunbathing, exploring, walking or beachcombing. Out on the horizon lie the islands of Eigg, Rum, and Skye.  ‘Beachaholics’ will love the property which is also close to Camusdarach Beach, where Local Hero was filmed.

There is also trout fishing available on Loch Morar which is the deepest freshwater Loch in Europe. Legend has it that Morag a prehistoric monster graces the waters of Loch Morar.

Adventures await you

An exciting trip while staying with us is a journey on the Steam traintravels from Mallaig to Fort William and vice versa daily, during the summer season. The train journey was voted by wanderlust as one of the best in Europe and the train crosses the Glenfinnan Viaduct made famous in the flying car chase scene in Harry Potter. Your base in Traigh is perfect for accessing Aonach Mor Ski and outdoor sports centre (around one hour drive).

If you fancy a round of golf your only a short walk to Traigh Golf Course. Golf has been played at Traigh since about 1900. Traigh Golf Course was designed by well-known Scottish golf architect John Salvesen. Cunningly using the natural contours of the hills that rise up from the beach, he created ‘a fair challenge to all levels of golfer – but a course that is great fun to play on, so that one wants to play it again’.

Life’s definitely a beach at Gatehouse perfect for large families or two couples with children looking for a beachside adventure and lots of fresh air and natural beauty at every turn.
