Private parking for 4 cars. No smoking. Please note: The property has a natural water supply. There are 3 steps and slopes in the garden. Sorry, no hen or stag parties.. Loch Long View sits in a commanding position high above the water on its own spacious plateau, with far reaching views of the loch and surrounding mountains. The cottage has been thoughtfully constructed with an exterior of Siberian larch, which has aged beautifully and compliments the dark green framed windows. Set within a 500-acre croft, there are sheep and Highland cows roaming the hillsides, as well as lots of other wildlife including red deer, pine marten and a variety of eagles. There is plenty of space around the cottage and a large garden. At the back of the house and up the hill is an unfenced loch, home to brown trout.
The interior has French oak flooring throughout. On the ground floor there is a dual-aspect kitchen with lots of natural light and views along the length of Loch Long. The large living room has a grand wood burner to cosy up infront of, and there is a bathroom also on the ground floor.
The French oak continues to flow up to the first floor, and with the abundance of natural light, works really well giving the two bedrooms a very spacious and calming feel, especially as the windows act as frames featuring the surrounding Highland landscape. Both the master bedroom and the twin bedroom, have unsurpassed views along the loch and the mountains. There is a bathroom between the bedrooms leading off the large landing.
Loch Long View is perfectly placed to explore the Isle of Skye with the bridge across to the island only 10 minutes’ away by car. Wester Ross with its highlights of Applecross and Torridon for more mountains and secluded coastline are also close by. Shop, pub and restaurant 3½ miles.

We had an excellent stay at long view cottage, the weather was kind and the views stunning, the cottage was lovely and warm with a beautiful wood burning stove, clean and adequately covered with kitchen utensils and white goods. The owner was nearby and ready with support or guidance should we have needed it.

Wonderful cottage in a stunning location. The cottage itself is roomy and spacious and is well equipped with everything you need...large kitchen for cooking, cozy livingroom with wood burning stove. The view over Loch Long was a treat every morning as we drank our coffee. The road up to the cottage is steep but accessible and the views are well worth it. The host was lovely and came to check that we had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay again.
