Craigrowan Croft (Gobha)

We would like to welcome you to Craigrowan Croft where we have added this pod style cabin which we have named Gobha. It is only a 5 minute walk to the local shops and a 10 minute walk to 3 lovely restaurants and a cosy pub. The space Gobha (the gaelic word for Blacksmith) is situated just above the ruins of the old blacksmith's house. Within the pod there is a double bed, shower room with toilet and wash basin, a well equipped kitchen and sitting area with smart tv. The pod has super fast broadband. Outside we have a decked area that is a nice spot for relaxing on when the sun is shining! If you have young children we have a range of accessories available to save you valuable packing space in the car! These include a buggy and a travel cot. Our family love animals, nature and the great outdoors. We took ownership of the croft in 2018 with a view to change our lifestyle; to allow our family to experience nature at its best in the beautiful area of Strontian. We have been working hard since then to return it to a working croft and we started our livestock journey with three very friendly lambs, which we have had the pleasure of bottle-feeding which was very entertaining! Our love for animals grew from there and now we have over 20 hens, 6 ducks, 3 ponies and 3 pigs. Its not just livestock that we have been busy with, we have also been working on our kitchen garden, which we has been very fruitful over the years. The croft is made up of fifteen acres, five of which has been planted with a mixture of native trees. The rest is made up mostly of rough grazing, some mature trees, a huge variety of wild flowers, mosses and lichens and there are also regular visits from a range of wildlife including red deer and birds of prey. There are spectacular views over the surrounding hills, valley and loch after an invigorating climb up the croft! From the croft you can access a lovely local woodland walk (Phemies Walk), which has a spectacular view out over Loch Sunart. Guest access There is ample free parking around the cottage. Other things to note We are dog friendly and love meeting your beloved pets however we do request that on the Croft they are kept on a lead as we have number of animals including sheep, ponies, pigs, ducks and hens. We kindly request that the dogs are not left in the pod on their own and that they are kept off of the couch and bed. Registration details HI-41032-F
