Loch-side paradise!

This place is a true gem: stunning location with amazing views, beautiful accommodation with nature all around. We saw deer, seals & seabirds all within metres of the balcony. Angus and Ishbel have created a stylish and luxurious space that was a delight to stay in and they were super helpful with help and advice before and during our stay. This is the ideal location for exploring the area from Ullapool to Gruinard bay and beyond with stunning beaches that we enjoyed in summer half term with virtually none else around to see the dolphins! A swim in the crystal clear loch only a few steps from the house and then a warm up in the hot tub is a must. Then chill on the balcony or the sofa while soaking in the view. Can't wait to come again.

Friendly well situated cottage

We had a great time here. The cottage is very much as advertised, and owners really friendly - and generous with baking.

Perfect getaway

This flat above the owners home had everything you could need apart from a washing machine for which Alexander offered the use of his. The views from every window were spectacular! We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area and retreating to this comfortable flat at the end of the day.

Absolutely Stunning

It's far easier to talk about the negatives points of Shorecroft....nothing! We've stayed in holiday cottages for years and Shorecroft is by far the most outstanding. The location and views are simply stunning, Shorcroft itself is fabulous and oozes quality, from the beds and bedding through to the kitchen utensils, literally everything has been thought about and executed to perfection. There was even smoked salmon and Champagne awaiting our arrival. We definitely hope to return, thank you.

Absolutely Perfect

Everything about our stay from booking to departing could not have been better. Our host Katerina was always on hand to provide information updates and accommodate our needs. The cottage was outstanding in every way, well stocked with all the necessary items and some for a self catering stay. The cleanliness was top notch and the refurbishment which has taken place compliments the property so well. The views and area surrounding the cottage are to die for and put you into that relax mode as soon as you arrive. We cannot fault the cottage, location and surrounding areas at all. If what you are after is time away from the rat race of life and want to lose yourself in remote beauty in delightful accommodation then go no further. We will absolutely be going back. Katerina you are a fantastic host and thank you so much for allowing to experience your cottage and location.
