Caladh Reidh can be seen in the middle of the group of houses pictured here with Obanduine Bay in the foreground. It is a traditional whitewashed two storey stone cottage with gardens to the front and the rear. It is situated on Harbour Street, in the village of Plockton and looks down to the waters of Obanduine Bay. The cottage is bright and spacious with a lovely homely feel and offers very comfortable accommodation in three first floor bedrooms, and ample living space downstairs. The cottage is exceptionally well equipped throughout with all you could need for a family holiday. The lounge has a comfortable suite, open fire, smart TV, Hifi, books and games. The kitchen has washing machine dishwasher cooker microwave, fridge freezer and dining area with TV. There is a separate dining room with dining table and chairs, fireside chairs and TV. The main bathroom is downstairs and there is a second toilet upstairs. There is central heating throughout and complimentary wi-fi. At the back of the cottage there is a secluded garden with an array of shrubs and a small path meanders down the centre with lawns either side. Air warmed by the Gulf Stream makes this village a unique growing area, with palm trees and many unusual plants flourishing. Opposite the cottage is what can best be described as a secret garden. With mature shrubs, lawns and hidden seating area, it is a lovely spot to sit, sunbathe, read or enjoy a quiet glass or two.
There is a wide range of sporting activities available close by. Canoeing and sailing are popular pastimes in the village and there are a number of excellent golf courses in the area which are open to visitors. Fishing, riding, climbing, hill-walking, mountain biking and bowling are all also enjoyed locally. There are some superb walks direct from the property and a number of good beaches within easy reach. A boat trip from the harbour to see the local seal population is close to hand and is particularly recommended.
Plockton was the setting for the television series Hamish Macbeth, and the early 70's cult film, The Wicker Man. Plockton's close proximity to the Isle of Skye, the wonderful Applecross peninsula and the Torridon mountain range all make it an ideal base for exploring the whole of the Western Highlands.
