It caters to outdoor enthusiasts, with nearby hiking opportunities in Torridon, where majestic peaks like Beinn Alligin and Beinn Dearg await adventurers. For those who prefer cycling, numerous forest trails, including the Contin trails, are accessible, and the sandy beaches of Gairloch, located about thirty miles away, make for an excellent day trip.

Upon entering the property, guests are greeted by a spacious hallway that leads to the heart of the home. The lounge is designed for relaxation, featuring a large window with seating that showcases breathtaking loch views, complemented by a Smart TV and a wood burner for cozy evenings.
