Birch Grove Cabin

• Sleeps: 2
• Bedroom: 1
• Bathroom: 1
• Minimum stay: 2 nights

The aptly-named Birch Grove Cabin is beautifully situated among birch trees on a two-acre croft just off the iconic North Coast 500 route.

Part of a designated National Scenic Area, the mesmerising vista encapsulates the Scottish Highlands at their most breathtakingly beautiful. Think shimmering lochs, soaring mountains and enormous star-filled skies.

Clad in Scottish larch, Birch Grove Cabin’s timber frame was sustainably constructed by a local manufacturer for outstanding rural comfort. Delights include toasty underfloor heating, cotton bathrobes, slippers and a delectable welcome hamper packed with locally-sourced goodies. There’s also a sumptuous shower room to freshen up in, with rainfall shower head, toiletries and a heated towel rail.

There’s a kingsize bed for sound nights of slumber, a relaxed open-plan living, dining and kitchen space – all boasting amazing views. You’ll find the kitchen wonderfully well-equipped, with luxuries that include a Nespresso coffee machine – ideal for relaxing mornings spent watching the sunrise over the mountains.

The wood-burning stove is a warm and welcoming companion on cooler evenings and there’s a covered deck for lazy afternoons of chatting over a bottle of wine – with wool blankets to wrap up in while gazing at the stars.

What to do with your time? While Wi-Fi is available, you could find the tranquil environment compels you to simply get lost in a book, or break open a game, all thoughtfully provided by your hosts. You’ll even have a pair of binoculars on hand, to help you keep an eye on the local wildlife. During your stay, you may catch sight of the resident buzzard, who often perches on the gatepost in search of lunch.

If you feel like exploring, there’s a wealth of coastal walks to be taken right from the door, as well as invigorating hikes, mountain bike trails and kayaking on Loch Torridon all in easy reach.
