The house has stunning views over Gruinard Bay and the Summer Isles, and is close to the beautiful Mellon Udrigle beach. It can sleep up to six people and is excellently placed for exploring the Scottish Highlands and islands.
The Gruinard Bay and Gairloch area is known for its stunning mountain, valley and beach scenery, not to mention hundreds of years of history, and Mayar Bhan is a cosy, comfy and stylish base from which to explore it. Whether you want to get out and about or you’d prefer to sit and relax in front of a beautiful view, this is a wonderful house, perfect for unique stays in a truly enviable location.
The house is very close to the fantastic Mellon Udrigle beach and there are lots of other lovely beaches nearby, not to mention sights like Flowerdale Waterfall, Inverewe Garden, the Fairy Lochs near Badachro and the Beinn Eagh nature reserve. This is fantastic terrain for walking and mountain biking, there are lots of boat trips and whale cruises available, and wildlife lovers will see everything from eagles and deer to dolphins and seals. And after a day of invigorating Scottish air you can relax in one of the local cafes and restaurants.
