Bay Cottage is an ideal location for two people in the area around Gairloch, Wester Ross. Close to shops and cafes which in this area are spaced out sparingly. Lovely walks into Strath either along the road edge or over the tops onto a spectacular sandy beach.

A cosy little cottage for a couple with everything we needed. The location is very quiet but walkable, albeit up the hill, to the local amenities

Absolutely loved the cottage, extremely comfortable and had everything I needed. Ideally located for hiking the mountains of Fisherfield, flowerdale forest and Torridon.
