7 bedroom Cottage near Strathcarron, Highlands, Scotland

A purpose-built holiday home in the Wester Ross area of the Highlands, providing an exceptional amount of space, this sprawling lodge is ideal for family and friends who don’t wish to roam far from their countryside retreat. Sleeping 18 guests, across seven bedrooms, it includes all the entertainment facilities you’ll need during your stay: a multi-functional private party and entertainment area, the ‘ceilidh barn’, where you can play table tennis, snooker and pool, roulette, and table football (as well as make snacks to nibble on in front of the TV and woodburner); two all-weather tennis courts; and a home cinema room.



Throughout, the lodge is comfortable and stylish, with a wide and welcoming entrance hall to usher you inside. Your luggage, shoes and coats can be put away with no worries about the clutter of a large group, as the house has ample storage in the second rear entrance hall, boot room, and utility. Gather everyone in the kitchen for leisurely brunches, board games, and chats while dinner is cooking in the electric 5-oven Aga. There’s seating at the kitchen island, as well as a wooden table to spread out on and a long, cushioned window seat. After sit-down meals in the smart dining room, you have plenty of options for how to spend the rest of your evening. Put your feet up in front of the fire in the bright dual-aspect drawing room, where you can be served a drink at the wet bar, or pour popcorn into bowls and choose an old favourite for film night, in the TV room with home cinema. For an unforgettable night of fun, light the woodburner in the ceilidh barn and party and play into the small hours. A warm bed awaits you, and there’s no need to rush to get up: a TV in every bedroom means you can have a lazy start wrapped in the duvet and grab a refreshing shower before heading downstairs for tea and coffee. Outside is a private garden, ideal for a summertime BBQ when the weather is fair.
