Beautiful sandy and empty beach just south of Gairloch, visible from the road and easy parking. Add sunshine to the mix and how could we drive past? Just had to Stop and Go.

10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)
Fantastic and unique property. Great views from the jacuzzi! We saw seals and dolphins in the bay, and countless different birds. Just beautiful. We had a kayak around the bay using the kayaks on site. Absolutely loved it.

Roomy, clean, well equipped, good location near shops and restaurant, and brilliant view.- we saw otter and seals, and heard the eerie song of red-throated divers, from the house.
