A perfectly romantic and gorgeously restored bothy in a garden on a hillside by the sea, with grand views over the mountains of Skye

Applecross is the Gaelic word for sanctuary and if you are in need of that, you'll find it here. The views alone are enough to still your heart and let your spirit soar - the stunning Cuillin mountains on one side of you and the sea on the other. Step inside to a magical open-plan living room and kitchen with store cupboard basics plus a bottle of fizz, another of Applecross ale and good highland crackers.

Pack up a picnic and walk to a choice of beaches, stride hills and dales by rivers and lochs, sea kayak, fish or swim. There is wildlife everywhere, starting outside the cottage with wandering sheep, ducks, hens, geese and red deer. The Applecross Inn is two and a half miles, The Walled Garden restaurant another half mile - make sure you book.

Hunker down in a comfy sofa with the wood-burning stove doing its stuff, sleep under a beautiful canopy of branches, wake to birdsong, a sense of happiness and more sea views.

Val Woodhouse:

Explore the Applecross Estate Walled Garden and eat in the gorgeous Walled Garden Restaurant - the food is divine and the atmosphere relaxing and peaceful.
Eat at the famous Applecross Inn. Fabulous range of seafood, excellent extensive menu. Bustling in summer and quieter and more snug in winter. Eat outside in summer at their Inside Out Fish 'n Chip Airstream, serving Ice-cream from Applecross Ices...Yum!
Applecross Heritage Centre is a haven for information on all the local history. Learn about the Monastic history and historical spots to visit in Applecross and the area. Lots of leaflets available. Great walking leaflet with lovely short and longer walks.
Bealach Na Ba / Pass of the Cattle - this is the famous route into Applecross. The Bealach is one of the highest mountain passes in Britain. Not for the faint hearted but stunning scenery at the top. This route forms part of the famous NC500.
Sands beach 4 miles along the coast road from the Applecross Inn. This beach is a well known very beautiful spot to walk, ponder, walk your dog or wild swim. Walk to and from Sand along the Sand path from behind Clachan Manse to build up an appetite!
Explore the numerous short and long walks weaving in and around Applecross Estate. Beautiful scenery, steeped in history. Find the quiet and attractive 'Lost Path' to wander along on amongst the leafy canopy of oak trees. Leaflets available for walks.
