Description from owner
Description
Cottage situated amongst beautiful scenery and wildlife. Nestled below most spectacular mountains including Five Sisters of Kintail mountain ridge. Fabulous area for bird watching directly below house. Four miles from the famous Eilean Donan Castle situated in the Village of Dornie. Nine miles from Plockton Village which is famous for its palm trees and Hamish Macbeth tv series. Sixteen miles from the Isle of Skye Bridge which sweeps over Lochalsh and takes you straight onto the Isle of Skye to discover fabulous scenery. One of the bedrooms has a 4 poster kingsize bed.
The immediate surrounding area of glenshiel and loch duich is a haven for local wildlife and directly below nia roo is a breeding and nesting area for many varieties of birds such as the white-tailed sea eagle, little grebes, golden ploves and little auks - a birdwatchers dream. A full list of birds that are seen on the marshes is available from the local area page.
In addition to a warm welcome and good, traditional highland hospitality, we will be on hand to assist you with directions, local history, hints and tips about the best places to see local wildlife, and anything else you need to make the most of your trip to the Highlands. We can take you to see our highland cattle to photograph them close up (depending how brave you are) and can also take you close to wild deer where you will get some magnificent photographs at certain times of year. Fishing trips are available on Loch Duich where salmon, trout, sea bass and mackerel are caught in abundance (especially mackerel). Fishing permits for local rivers are available depending on bookings.
At the end of April and may there could be an opportunity for you to bottle feed orphaned lambs if you so wished.all these interests are there if you want - if not, there is no better place to just sit, relax, enjoy breathtaking views and have a wonderful holiday away from it all!< The house is very comfortable and is excellently equipped with all mod cons. Large t.v.. Sun lounge to sit and relax with stunning views.Dining table an chairs. W.M. Tumble dryer, fridge /freezer. dishwasher, microwave, ipod dock/cd, wi fi available.
