Minch View Cottage

A traditional detached cottage in a private and quiet location, Minch View overlooks the sea and the islands off the north west coast of Scotland.

The Isles of Skye, Harris and Lewis can be seen from the cottage, which is at Peterburn, near Gairloch in Wester Ross. Whilst staying here, look out for whales, basking sharks, dolphins, otters and seals along the coastline.

The nearby village of Melvaig has a bar/restaurant, The Melvaig Inn. The Inn is close to the beach, where there is also a slipway for launching boats.

The cottage provides accommodation for up to four people, in two bedrooms. A cot for a baby is available on request.

Only a short distance away, you can explore in The Beinn Eighe Reserve and the Torridon Mountains. Here you will find a number of varied walking trails and routes and stunning mountain scenery.

With no street light pollution at night, this is a great place for star gazing. The starry sky is a real feature of a holiday in this part of Scotland.

Minch View Cottage offers very comfortable holiday accommodation in the Western Highlands of Scotland.

The property's large sun lounge has views over the sea. The spacious lounge has comfortable furnishings, a colour television with satellite channels and a video player.

Also on ground floor level there is a separate dining room, a modern shower room [with shower, toilet and wash basin] and a fully fitted kitchen.

The modern kitchen equipment includes a range cooker, microwave, fridge / freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer - plus a good variety of crockery and utensils.

Upstairs, the cottage has a bathroom and two double bedrooms.

Minch View Cottage is roomy and comfortable, traditionally furnished and warmed by oil fired central heating.

Peterburn is a peaceful, quiet location, but all amenities can be found in nearby Gairloch, approximately a 15 minute drive away. Gairloch offers hotels, shops, restaurants, a garage, a doctors surgery and a dental surgery.

Ross-shire's attractions include whale watching and marine life boat trips, fishing for salmon, sea trout, brown trout, or pike, bird watching and falconry courses. There is a nearby golf course, a swimming pool, and pony-trekking trails, and walks - both coastal and mountain, ranging from easy strolls to more challenging hikes.

Bicycle hire is available in the area, as is deer stalking, sea kayaking, guided hill walking and climbing. The coastline is rugged, a haven for nesting birds, seals, whales, basking sharks and otters.

Places to visit include a deer museum, a Heritage Museum, and the famous Inverewe Gardens.
