About this property
Kinlochbervie 3.1 miles. A beautiful holiday home set in a stunning location in Scotland’s Highlands.
The perfect base, whether you’re looking for a romantic hideaway, a family holiday, an active break, or a solo getaway.
Situated just off the popular NC500 route, the villa benefits from its location near the end of a quiet street. The path leading to a secluded local beach also originates here. Polin Beach is a quaint, unspoilt beach just a short walk from the accommodation. The nearest shop, pub and restaurant can be found a brief car journey south in nearby Kinlochbervie.
Panoramic beach views are present from one of the three double bedrooms, whilst there is also a twin room on the ground-floor, accommodating small to large family groups. Recliner sofas and a woodburning stove complete the warm, inviting feel of the home.
The north-west coast is arguably the most stunning location in the Scottish mainland. The bays of Polin, Sandwood and Oldshoremore provide the nearby beauty spots. More practically, the local village of Kinlochbervie provides local amenities, including a convenience store selling homely essentials, brimming with the feel and charm of an old fishing village.
Further afield you’ll find plenty to do and see. For the active members of the group, there are numerous walking trails and hill climbs to be traversed, along with sailing, canoeing, kayaking, pony trekking, and even a zip slide! If you’d like to partake in something more relaxing, there are sightseeing tours by road or boat available nearby, along with some lovely restaurants and of course the most scenic beaches.
Sip wine on the decking. Spot deer in the garden. View the Northern Lights from the king-size bedroom. Beachview awaits…
Situated in the far north west of Scotland, Kinlochbervie is the most northerly of all the fishing ports and boasts a large fish handling depot from where catches are dispatched throughout Europe. Because of this the roads in the surrounding area are first class! The area has a stunning rocky coastline which attracts many visitors throughout the year. The village itself has a well-stocked shop, a post office and hotels and restaurant that are open all year round. From here it is easy to access both Oldshoremore Beach and the more famous Sandwood Bay Beach which some claim is the most beautiful beach in Britain!

The views and peace and quiet are second to none. The locals very friendly and a facilities a short drive. One recommendation Fish and Chips in Ullapool, well worth the drive. Would definitely go again.

The hot tub is a bonus after the walk to and from Sandwood Bay beach. The kitchen is very well equipped with modern facilities. The only recommendation we have is that perhaps the owners would consider putting a small âwelcomeâ pack for the visitors - tea/coffee/milk - just a gesture. We would say that the cottage is easy to live in and flows very nicely - good vibes!
