Croft Cottages

These holiday cottages have a secluded setting in scenic Scottish countryside, very close to the village of Poolewe in Ross-shire.

There are many well known places and Wester Ross attractions nearby including the famous Inverewe Tropical Gardens - within walking distance.

Guests at Croft Cottages can also walk along the banks of the River Ewe, Loch Ewe and Loch Maree, or visit the Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve, the Torridon Nature Reserve or the sandy beaches in and around Gairloch.

All properties have views of the mountains above Loch Maree and are perfect for climbers, walkers or anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful holiday.

The cottages are full of character, built of original stone, have been carefully restored and have good quality furnishings [with some antiques].

Number 15A and number 15B Croft are in a very pleasant location within the 5 acres of countryside.

Guests can explore the gardens, woodlands or enjoy take a walk along the riverbank.

The excellent views make these 2 cottages particularly popular with photographers and artists.
