Shore Cottage is true to its name, it is positioned right on the edge of Loch Hourn in the otherworldly village of Arnisdale. Its location is as Scottish Highlands as it comes with mountains, moorland and lochs galore. This place is an outdoor enthusiasts dream. From the front door you can kayak for hours on Loch Hourn, even crossing over the loch to the remote and wild Knoydart Peninsula. From the village you can walk up into the mountains, with a path leading to the munro Beinn Sgritheall standing high above the village at 974m. The cottage itself is a traditional, heritage build. Upon entering this detached property via the front door, you have an inviting living room to the left with an open fire and large television. The other side of the house from the living room is the spacious kitchen/dining room. Off the kitchen is a utility and boot room with access to the rear of the cottage and heated drying rack. Also on the ground floor is a large family bathroom. Upstairs there are three bedrooms which are all fresh, white and have plenty of light. The gravel garden is fully enclosed at the rear, and there is folding garden furniture as well as a small portable barbecue. Arnisdale is found at the end of a 10-mile single track road running south from Glenelg. It is one of the most remote outposts in mainland Scotland. The main road through Arnisdale is a gentle curving lane running parallel to the shingle beach. Beyond Arnisdale Lodge, which was built in 1898 by Valentine Fleming, father of Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond 007 books, the road continues half a mile to the village of Corran. You will find the attractive Ceilidh House and Heritage Centre which opened in 2008 and gives a history of the area. Arnisdale is a gateway to the mountainous Knoydart Peninsula. A boat can be arranged locally to take you across to golden sands of Barrisdale on the far side of Loch Hourn, from where Knoydart can be explored. Back towards Glenelg with its marvellous inn, there is a little track down to Sandaig and the memorial site of the cottage in which the author Gavin Maxwell lived whilst writing ’Ring of Bright Water’ in 1960. It is still magical place where otters can still be seen. In fact, wildlife can be spotted easily from Shore Cottage, with seals, porpoises and red deer frequently spotted and if you are lucky otters and pine martens. It is remote at Shore Cottage, but once you have arrived you will not want to leave. Shop, pub and restaurant 9 miles. If you are tempted away then Skye is a short drive to Glenelg for the world famous turntable ferry across the narrow straights to Kylerhea on Skye. Shop, pub and restaurant 9 miles. Free WiFi Can comfortably fit up to 5 people
