Benmore Cottage is modern and well equipped. An open plan ground floor creates an ideal open space for relaxing and dining after a day enjoying the outdoors. Two storage heaters provide a consistent warm ambience. We have comfortable leather seating and provide a large screen TV with DVD/Blue Ray player and an extensive selection of films, in addition to a library of books. Our kitchen is very well equipped, including a modern washing machine and tumble dryer, and the dining area has wonderful views of Ben More Assynt. The shower room is located downstairs. Views from the ground floor extend to Loch Shin, little Loch Shin and beyond to Ben More Assynt. Upstairs the double and twin bedrooms are fitted with total black-out blinds to ensure you sleep well in the light summer months. We provide use of bed linen, so you don't need to bring those bulky items. Likewise, we provide towels. We encourage wildlife to the large garden area, and throughout the year we are visited by a vast number of bird species. You will certainly hear the Tawny owls at night. We have up to 5 hedgehogs visiting at night and we have a good stock of food which we encourage you to use. Other visitors include Hares (with young), red deer, bats (midge eaters), and although rarely, Pine Martin. We provide ample parking, which is reached via our private tree covered driveway. The village of Lairg is 5 to 10 minutes walk, where shops, restaurants, a fish and chip shop and a bar are all close by, but distant enough so that you will never be disturbed by them. The area is perfect for walking, fishing (Loch Craggie and Loch Shin, plus numerous rivers), nature watching (including Dalchork bird hide) and mountain biking (nationally recognised trails at Golspie and Balblair just 10 minutes away by car). We hold a Scottish self satering short term let license, issued January 2024. Energy is 100% from renewable sources and our EPC rating is D.
