The Beacon self-catering holiday cottage, is located on the edge of Scourie, on the the north-west coast of Scotland in a scenic area of the Highlands, 95 miles north of Inverness and 40 miles north of Ullapool.
Set in its own garden, The Beacon has stunning views over The Minch: the Outer Hebrides are regularly seen - although this cannot be guaranteed!
The surrounding area is ideal for hillwalking, cycling and fishing. There is an abundance of wildlife; you can watch deer, seals, otters and birds, all within a few minutes of The Beacon.
The Beacon sleeps 6: one double and two twins. We provide linen and towels. The Main Bedroom has an en-suite shower & loo, and there is a house bathroom, with over-bath shower.
The West Wing, added in 2021 adds a new dimension of comfort to The Beacon, especially on rougher days, and with a wood burning stove we hope it will provide year-round cosiness.
On better days, we hope the deck will be a fabulous place to find a little quiet to enjoy the views, or a long lunch!
The large porch, is an excellent space for sandy/muddy/wet arrivals, and a superb drying area, ahem!
The cottage has been recently re-furnished and re-decorated both inside and out.
We also have a 500kbps WiFi ADSL connection for email retrieval and light internet browsing (checking the weather!)
The brand-new (for 2014) fitted kitchen is extremely well equipped, with two fridges, as well as a freezer and a fan-assisted double oven with ceramic hob; there is an automatic washing machine and tumble dryer; the bathroom incorpoates a shower over the bath. The garden has apicnic table and there is a barbeque.
