About this property
This charming cottage nestles on a pretty hillside in the tiny village of Letterfearn, overlooking Loch Duich with views down the loch to the Five Sisters of Kintail. The elevated situation of the cottage is enhanced by the addition of a full length covered veranda from which the spectacular location can be truly appreciated in all weathers. With the spacious accommodation on one level there are two generously proportioned bedrooms, a twin room and a double room, which has doors leading out to its own private decked patio area. The well-equipped and sunny kitchen/dining room is simply ideal for those who wish to enjoy home-cooked meals together and the cosy sitting room with the woodburning stove is to be enjoyed after a busy and active day. With a mountainous backdrop and wonderful views to the front it will be hard to leave this perfect spot but close by there are an amazing amount of activities to be enjoyed. A short drive around the loch takes you to the much photographed Eilean Donan Castle which boasts a good restaurant and shop and the castle is open to the public for much of the year and well worth a visit. If castles interest you then cross the bridge to Skye and incorporate a visit to Dunvegan Castle during your tour around the magical island. For a more adventurous drive follow the hill road over Mam Ratagan and into the village of Glenelg. The road itself is a popular attraction with great viewpoints and during the summer months a small ferry crosses the Sound of Sleat to Skye which is a special crossing and perhaps more enjoyable than taking the bridge. A wonderful unspoilt area and a charming cottage to ensure a great holiday. EPC Rating: Band F

We really enjoyed the peace and quiet and the view is spectacular with a brew in the morning. Pine Martens came to visit every night and would wait at the door for peanut butter sandwiches! (They live under the decking and would pop out) We had a badger visit a couple of times. The walk to the Iron Age fort is lovely through the woods and next to the lock with otters and seals in the bay. Dave was really friendly and welcoming and checked in with us a few times and when we left. We were really sad to leave and hope to come back one day when we have finished exploring Scotland. Thank you for an amazing stay! Even my 2 teenage boys enjoyed it!

Amazing views over the loch and mountains. Great walks from the door, up to the ferry cottage to see the seals. Plenty of places to see in driving distances. Portree, Kyle and try the ferry at Glenelg is definitely worth doing if you want to go Skye. Dave and Linda were very welcoming and helpful. Best of all the night visits of the pine martins and badgers were fantastic. Take plenty of peanuts, they do like peanut butter and jam sandwiches too. Lots of birds visit too, take bird seed too. We even seen a woodpecker a few times. Would highly recommend and we will return. Thank you Dave and Linda !!

The scenery and visiting wildlife make it very special, the Pine martens and badgers visited every night , with deer on the drive and seals in the Loch. Didn't see any otters this time . Lovely walk to the brock in Totaig .Take plenty of peanuts as there is an abundance of birds! .
