A traditional stone-built former croft cottage set in around 3 acres of garden with views across Loch Shiel. A small hill directly behind the cottage provides spectacular views to the south and east with the mountains of Ardgour in the distance. The cottage is ideal for a quiet relaxing break or for exploring the area renowned for its wildlife and scenery. Locally there are many walks of varying lengths and abilities, abandoned settlements, beaches and a wildlife hide overlooking Loch Sunart closeby.
Cnoc Breac provides self-catering accommodation for up to two people and is available all year round. Thought to be over 150 years old, the cottage in its original form might be the only surviving dwelling of the long since abandoned settlement of High Mingarry that lies to the north. It is probably the oldest ‘inhabited’ house in the village.
The open-plan design is on one level and includes a cosy bed/sitting room with a double bed, armchairs and a log burner. Central heating is provided throughout the cottage. The well-equipped kitchen/diner includes a fridge-freezer and washing machine; the bathroom has a bath with overhead shower and a heated towel rail. All bedlinen and towels are provided. The porch has hanging space for outdoor clothing and boots.
Outside there is ample off-road parking near to the cottage and a nearby undercover area for cycles which is available upon request at booking. Outside seating is provided and guests are welcome to explore the garden adjacent to the cottage down to the burn. The 3 acres of garden offer views across Loch Shiel towards Claish Moss Nature Reserve and Beinn Resipol.
There is much to see and explore in the area; boat trips, kayaking, walking and wildlife watching are just some of the activities. The Castle Tioram ruin on Loch Moidart can be walked or cycled from the cottage and can be reached by a causeway at low tide, and the Singing Sands ‘secluded beach’ is only a short drive but does entail a further walk to reach. The village of Kilchoan, the Ardnamurchan lighthouse and the beaches at Sanna can all be reached by road heading west following the beautiful Loch Sunart on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula from the village of Salen.
