We had a lovely weeks break in The Church. The owner, Mark's, description of the property is accurate, if anything he undersells The Church, which we found to be absolutely delightful, it feels very spacious for two, with a large sitting room and a lovely bedroom and a really comfy bed on the mezzanine floor. The highlight for us was the coal fire and the spectacular views looking over towards the Torridon mountains. The Church was very clean and warm on our arrival and was well equipped with everything we needed for the week, including fresh flowers, toiletries and plenty of fuel for the fire.
Mark was very quick to respond to our questions before we arrived and came round on our first evening to make sure we had everything we needed.
The surrounding area is truly beautiful, with plenty of things to do, we'd recommend the boat trip from Sheildaig, when we took it we saw the resident Sea Eagle, to buy some local smoked salmon from The Applecross Smokehouse and to eat at The Walled Garden restaurant. We also visited the Applecross Heritage Centre which gave a wonderful insight into what Highland life was like hundreds of years ago, there were some lovely old photographs of local residents and we even got to try spinning wool from local sheep.
I'd definitely recommend The Church and the whole area of Applecross.
If you're a wildlife lover, you'll enjoy the nightly visits from a Pine Marten which came to eat the nuts and peanut butter we put out for it.
