Arrowdale - Self-catering house in Highland
Leacnasaide, Gairloch, IV21 2AP, Highland
Scotland,
Regno Unito
Inside is lovely, light and warm. Timber lined walls are painted in a soft colour, there's a big window seat for gazing towards the water, books in every room, an easy chair with a reading light by the window and a super utility room with a pulley dryer for wet gear. Downstairs is warmed by underfloor heating from an air source heat pump and there's a wood fire to cheer on really foul-weather days. Dramatic skies will be fun to watch from the inside.
The master bedroom is downstairs and has garden views, White Company sheets and duck down pillows, two twins up in the eaves have sloping ceilings but proper windows. Bathrooms have Arran Aromatics and you'll find stripy towels for the beach. Clare is a cook so the kitchen has gadgets galore, decent knives and cookery books. She can also provide delicious home cooked meals.
Wander through a meadow to a rocky beach, two kayaks are provided for wonderful adventures and, if you're lucky, spotting otters.

Local points of interest from Clare Lumsden:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Clare Lumsden:
- There's a thriving family of seals in the area; you will be unlucky if you DON'T see them beside the house when you're staying. There are also roe deer, pine marten and wild geese to be seen in the garden and you'll hear lots of cuckoos in spring too.
- Photographers/artists love Arrowdale. In addition to the garden, the land around the house provides glimpses of the sea on the coastal path, of dappled light through the birch trees, close up studies of ferns or of rocks thickly covered with mosses.
- A private beach. A 30 minute kayak paddle or a 90 minute walk through protected ancient oak woodland will find you at a sandy beach totally inaccessible by road. It is a magical place to spend the day swimming, sunbathing, picnicking or playing games.
- There are so many walks to go on in the area and hydro schemes's excellent tracks have opened up lots of lovely new walks or bike rides right up in to the hills for people who like to be able to walk side by side or on more secure ground in wilder places.
- Accessible directly from the house is a stunning hillwalk to an official WW2 War Grave. There's an eerie beauty to the site where the crew of a US Air Force bomber died; wreckage lies on the hill and a propellor stands upright in a tranquil hill loch.
- 1/2 mile in one direction of Arrowdale is the only fine dining cuisine in Gairloch (also with an outstanding gin and whisky bar) and 2 miles in the other direction is the pub with the most stunning views in the area (plus good pub food and a pizza truck).
