As part of our green tourism policy, our minimum stay for advanced bookings is 2 nights. 

The house has a restful contemporary decor, complimented with tasteful art & crafts - much local. All 3 guest bedrooms are ensuite with king or superking sized (zip & link) beds and have mountain & sea views. Meals are in the architect designed, floor to ceiling glazed dining room at the communal table, where you can enjoy good company, the island view & maybe catch a glimpse of the white-tailed sea-eagles or pine marten.

Bedrooms are well appointed - 1 with a King Size bed, 2 with SuperKing size (zip & link) beds that split to provide 2 full size single beds. 2 of our rooms can accommodate a 3rd person in a full size single. All our beds are extremely good quality & very comfortable. 

Bed and Breakfast is after all about a comfortable bed and a really good breakfast!

Breakfast is taken in the architect designed dining room with floor to ceiling glazing to take in mountain & sea views. You can take advantage of a traditional cooked breakfast or lighter fare with homemade preserves and bread, all whilst admiring the fantastic view. Venison sausages and Haggis are made by our butcher in Lochcarron. Salmon is smoked in the village by Loch Torridon Smokehouse. We are passionate about providing tasty home cooking from local produce and make the bread, yoghurt, jams and marmalade's.

Guest facilities include wireless internet access, drying room, mini library - local books, laptop with broadband access, folder of walks and bikes for loan. The 1st floor guest living room has a "to die for" panoramic view with large TV and a good DVD collection for wet days. Great care is taken to ensure guests enjoy the area with daily detailed weather forecasts and judicious help selecting activities.

We are non-smoking. Children over 12 years old are welcome. Pets are welcome to stay in your car, not in house.
