About this property

This beautiful, airy, open plan longhouse is situated on an idyllic secluded property 13 miles from Ullapool on the south shore of Loch Broom: the water is just a 5 minute walk away! The house is tastefully decorated and furnished with many original artworks to enjoy from paintings and textiles to ceramics. The perfect location if you are looking for rugged, authentic Highland scenery and enjoy walking. Alternatively, the peace and setting make it an inspiring place to read, write or paint. The house boasts an impressive library of books.
A short walk away is the idyllic shoreline and Loggie Bay with its sailing and working boats, and a stunning view of Ullapool across the water. This is an ideal place for kayaking, sailing and swimming if you are not afraid of cold water!
The property is owned by a traditional wooden boatbuilder who lives in a 150 year old croft house on this 2 acre plot. You are likely to see boats around awaiting restoration as this is a working yard. There is also a studio with a resident painter. The land has been managed to retain its wildness and as a result is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. An amazing variety of birds can be seen and deer are regular visitors.
The house features easy mobility access, a large bright open plan living and kitchen area all with underfloor heating. There are three private bedrooms, one ensuite, and a wet room. There is a cosy upstairs studio/sitting area for relaxing in front of a film, tackling a jigsaw, drawing or painting at the desk or watching the night sky. The house is located at the end of a private, unmade track and has space for parking 4 cars. Luxury towels and linens are all provided.

Easy mobility access wet room
Bedroom 1: Kingsize bed, ensuite

Thrilling to find, hard to leave, impossible to forget

The only reason for a five star rating is that six or more stars are not possible – Tamsin and Mark would deserve them hands down. Friendly, helpful and with great tips (including a market with local products and one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen) they fit the stunning guest house so well. Always close to answer questions but never intrusive, just perfect. Same is true about the place itself that could not be better equipped or furnished – a perfect homebase for exploring the surrounding area. Ullapool some 20 minutes away offers everything to replenish your stocks and great restaurants – too bad we could not visit the Summer islands by boat due to the windy weather. Good reason to come back though :) Biggest plus might be the location of the guest house – the peace and quiet of „the end of the world“ settles in a few minutes after arrival. Friendly dogs to cuddle with complete the picture. Would love to stay here again, one week was not enough, Tapadh leibh airson a h-uile rud!

Fantastic Decompression Getaway

Mark and Tamsin were outstanding to work with. They provided a lot of insight in the western Highlands region. The location is fantastic to go walking and observe nature. Or, if you simply are wanting to escape the noise and hustle of urban life, this is the place to go. Accommodations were very comfortable.

Beautiful Loch Broom House near Ullapool

We had a wonderful week at this quiet, restful escape from our normal lives. The owners are lovely and very helpful - nearby, but not intrusive. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. The views from the house are amazing and it doesn’t take very long to drive round to Ullapool . We would definitely recommend staying here.

Fabulous

Met all our needs! Removed, yet not too far from Ullapool, which has an excellent outdoor store, a number of lovely cafes and chippies and a great visitor information center. Many wilderness experiences available close at hand. Unforgettable scenery at every turn.

Lovely home away from home

My husband and I stayed here in April 2019 for 3 nights and we really enjoyed our visit. The house has a large master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, a spacious open living room, fully equipped kitchen with washing machine, as well as another downstairs bedroom and two upstairs rooms. It is a great place to unwind and enjoy meals with a pretty view. We would highly recommend a stay at this off-the-beaten-path gem in the Highlands of Scotland.
