Grieves Cottage

Grieves Cottage is a well-equipped family home on the shores of Loch Hourn in the Scottish Highlands. The kitchen has an electric cooker, dishwasher, microwave and fridge-freezer, making it straightforward to cook proper meals. There's a utility room with washing machine and dryer. Heating, electricity, wifi, bed linen, towels and fuel for the open fire are all included in the price, so you arrive to a ready-to-use property.

The cottage has three bedrooms: two with twin single beds and one with a super kingsize, plus a bathroom with bath and shower on the ground floor and a separate toilet upstairs. Downstairs there's a living room with an open fire, television and books, and a kitchen-dining area with a table by the window. The small enclosed garden is fenced and suits young children. You can park two cars on site. One well-behaved pet stays free.

The location is remote—you're near the village of Arnisdale with a local shop, and Glenelg (10 miles away) has a pub and the Skye ferry during summer. The area suits families wanting to get away from noise and crowds, and there is fly fishing on-site if that interests you. No smoking inside.
