Step back in time to enjoy a complete getaway on the edge of roaring seas at the Principal Keeper's House, a historic retreat once occupied by a succession of lighthouse keepers and their families. It is set within the compound of the remote Rua Reidh Lighthouse which commands a dramatic setting on Wester Ross's wild coastline near Gairloch (12 miles).

Bright, airy and spacious, this charming apartment is situated on the upper floor of the keepers' accommodations building and offers stunning and ever-changing sea views that are sure to delight guests. The comfortable sitting room looks out over rugged rocks with glimpses of the Isle of Skye in the distance and the eat-in kitchen provides a cosy setting in which to share convivial meals.

One of the two bedrooms has a super king-size bed, while the other can be configured similarly or else as a twin, as required. Both of the bedrooms are en suite with contemporary, stylish shower rooms and have mesmerising full-on sea views towards the Outer Hebrides.

Binoculars are provided for a rich range of wildlife spotting opportunities and, from one comer of the compound, three other working lighthouses can be seen blinking across The Minch.

On clear nights the surrounding skies are magical as there is no light pollution other than the tower itself and there is often a good chance for sightings of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. Parking is available for up to two cars and a full flight of stairs leads up to the apartment itself.

This stunning location offers exceptional opportunities for walking and hiking over intriguing moorlands and along its enticing coastline. There are beautiful views to take in along the mostly single track coastal road to Gairloch but do be sure to make use of the passing places to allow for the easy flow of traffic.

Please note: Due to weight and width restrictions on the final 3 mile approach to the property, it is only accessible by car. Due to its location, the apartment is not recommended for children under 6 years old.
