Comments from our Guest Book…

“We had the most amazing week at this property. The house was gorgeous, and as a family of four there would have plenty of room for others. The downstairs is mostly open plan, with one bedroom. The views from the enormous windows were gorgeous, and having escaped from a hectic time at work, really genuinely calming. The open plan has a large kitchen table that made for easily family dining, and the whole thing was of a higher standard than we have at home. The area is fabulous, from the rocks just a few metres out of the back door, to the 5 min walk to the Local cafe and shop at the harbour front. We went on a number of short (half hour ish) excursions from the house to fabulous beaches, beautiful gardens and various walks. This is the second time we have been to the Gairloch area, and we will be back again, and will stay at this house. It was wonderful.

“We cannot recommend Shore Cottage highly enough for a break away in the highlands of Scotland. It is absolutely stunning and there is a huge amount to do in the area with and without children. We spent an incredible week at Shore Cottage at the end of September and completely fell in love with both the cottage, Charelstown and the wider Gairloch and West Coast area. The location of the cottage is stunning. It is at the end of road beyond Charelstown Harbour that leads nowhere else ensuring its complete privacy. It sits nestled in a small hollow that protects it from the worst of the prevailing weather but which allows it incredible views from the Torridon mountains in the East, south across the Loch to Baddachro and the Cuillin Mountains and west to the Outer Hebrides and the Atlantic – all bathed in the sun from rise to set.Charlestown harbour and its small community is a gentle 5 minute wander, past the working pier where the fishing boats land their catch, where you find a small shop run by the friendliest people. They remembered our 10 month old daughter’s name and loved to shake her hand and chat to her which made her gurgle with happiness whenever we popped in for milk and basic provisions. Beyond the harbour is the Old Inn, a friendly and cosy pub and restaurant situated on the edge of the Flowerdale Estate and its beautiful, and accessible waterfall and forest walks. Charlestown really does have everything one could want for a quiet break and anything else in terms of provisions required is available in Strath, a short 5 minute drive to the west.
