Nestled on a wild Highland hillside, this tastefully designed modern interpretation of a traditional croft house offers stunning vistas across Loch Ewe and its picturesque surroundings. Croft 34 lies within the remote crofting village of Mellon Charles, a mere half a mile from it’s beautiful sandy beach and just 2.5 miles from Aultbea.
Access the cottage via a single-track road, through well-spaced croft dwellings. Enter a unified lounge and dining space, adorned with thoughtfully positioned windows that showcase the awe-inspiring scenery.
Sink into the comfort of the cosy seating area, complete with a wood-burning stove and the added warmth of underfloor heating downstairs and radiators upstairs. Prepare meals in the modern, well-equipped kitchen, where even the task of washing dishes offers stunning views.
The accommodation includes a stylish double bedroom and a twin bedroom, providing a restful retreat for guests. Convenience is key with stylish shower rooms located both upstairs and downstairs, along with a utility room housing a washing machine.
Outside, relax on the patio and soak up the tranquil beauty of your surroundings. Ample private parking is available, with extra room provided in the newly built outhouse, perfect for storing bicycles.
If you love the great outdoors, Croft 34 is the perfect base to explore the rugged coastline, pristine beaches, heather-clad hills, and tranquil lochs of the Northwest Highlands. Whatever your outdoor pursuit, you'll find endless opportunities for adventure in this stunning location.
Aultbea, located 2.5 miles away, hosts a well-stocked local store catering to basic needs, while Gairloch offers a wider selection of local shops and a small supermarket. A stunning sandy beach is just 5 minutes walk from the house and the nearby dramatic rocky coastline can easily be explored on foot. Loch Ewe has extensive interpretation points about its fascinating World War II heritage, with more information at the Arctic Convoy museum in Aultbea.
The outstanding beauty spot of Mellon Udrigle 6 miles away offers world class sea and mountain views, another sandy beach and pleasant easy walking.
Approximately 9.5 miles away lies Gruinard Bay, renowned for its extensive sandy beach, ideal for leisurely strolls regardless of weather conditions. Seals are often seen frolicking along the shore, accompanied by a diverse array of birdlife.
Situated at a similar distance of 9 miles, Poolewe is a picturesque village famous for housing Inverewe Gardens. Benefiting from the temperate influence of the Gulf Stream, the gardens showcase an assortment of exotic plant species not commonly found in Scotland. The estate surrounding the gardens serves as a sanctuary for wildlife, providing opportunities to observe Scotland's 'big 5' – red squirrels, otters, red deer, common seal and golden eagles.
A mere half-hour drive away is Gairloch, located 15 miles from Aultbea. Here, a 9-hole golf course is nestled amidst the dunes, while wildlife cruises offer an intimate encounter with native species thriving in their natural habitats. Gairloch also boasts a new museum, and excellent café, craft shop and local information at the GALE centre.
