The Rowans - Warm, well-equipped. Isolated, yet near Gairloch
House with 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 6, Garden
Just a short stroll from the sea, this detached Nordic-style house boasts great views and is equipped with every modern convenience. It's a private family house, with every item left out for guests to enjoy.
Nestling in a tranquil setting, the house lies close to Gairloch with its award-winning restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions.
Unusually, Gairloch is open and thriving all year round (although a few attractions and restaurants do shut over the winter). Local activities include walking, golf, sailing hire (and tuition), fishing, climbing and bird-watching - otters, golden eagles and sea eagles are seen regularly. Boat trips to the Shiant Isles with the massive puffin colony are a must (in season). Dolphin, porpoise (from shore or boat) and whale watching (particularly Minke whales) are all available.
