About this property
Enjoy a slower pace of life with a stay at this pretty Wester Ross residence. Occupying a superb position overlooking the River Ewe, it’s conveniently close to Poolewe’s friendly shop cafés, children’s play area and indoor swimming pool, while the village hall hosts a local producers’ weekly market. Less than 300 metres from the doorstep, the river meets Loch Ewe. Follow the footpath around the head of the loch and you’ll reach gorgeous Inverewe Garden, famous for its sub-tropical plants and one of the area’s must-see attractions. Head upriver, instead, and Loch Maree has plenty to offer the explorer, with a wealth of walking options and a number of Munros rising above the water, including Slioch and Beinn Eighe. For a change of terrain, scenic coastal village Gairloch (6 miles) has beautiful unspoilt beaches; take a glass-bottomed boat trip from the harbour to get up close to the local sea life.
Park on the driveway, pausing to admire the river and hillside views as you unload your luggage. Off the hallway the first of your social spaces is a cosy snug, with a wood burner, easy chairs and a TV. Double doors lead from here into the kitchen, where you’ll find all the must-haves of home alongside a farmhouse-style dining suite. Close by, the more formal lounge has oak flooring, a wood burner, comfortable sofas, a Smart TV and patio doors onto the garden. A utility room adjacent to the snug has a handy washing machine, while off the hallway a single bedroom and a bathroom ensure convenience for anyone who prefers single-storey living. A shower room serves the two first-floor bedrooms. Choose between a double and a king-size room – each has a seating area and river views.
There’s ample parking on the driveway to the front of the property, while a picnic table sits on the lawn so you can enjoy al fresco food and refreshments with a side-serving of stunning views.
