Bluebell Croft
Honeysuckle House & Rose Cottage
Strontian
Ardnamurchan Peninsular |
|
Honeysuckle House and Rose Cottage are situated on the Ardnamurchan Peninsular on the beautiful west coast of Scotland. Ariundle Oakwoods, a National Nature Reserve, is within a short walk and Garbh Eilean hide is only a couple of miles away. Cycling in the area is superb as is fishing and kayaking on Loch Sunart, which can be seen from the croft. Ardnamurchan Lighthouse, the most westerly point on the British mainland, is closeby and with the Ardnamurchan Natural History Centre makes a fantastic day out. The small isles of Muck, Rhum and Eigg can be visited in a day trip from Arisaig and is a must for wildlife enthusiasts with near daily sitings of whales, dolphins and porpoises.
This gorgeous holiday house is recently built and has been awarded 5 stars from Visit Scotland, a Gold Green Award and is Category 1 for wheelchair friendliness (the house is very wheelchair friendly
with a wheel-in wet room in the downstairs bedroom and good wheelchair access throughout the house). Built with every thoughtful care throughout: traditional in design with oak furniture and wood burning stoves in the sitting rooms. With the adjoining cottage, it makes a fantastic big house for 12+, perfect for that family gathering or group of friends.
A giant hot tub under the stars and private patio with stunning elevated views of the Strontian river, glen and mountains and south to a peak of the sea are perfect for relaxing and sipping a glass or two of wine. There is a drying room for wet boots, coats and dogs.
Children are very welcome and will love the croft - watching the Jersey cow being milked, feeding the pigs, collecting eggs
from the chickens, ducks and geese and a trampoline.
A hamper with produce from the croft, together with simple suppers and up to a five course dinner by former 'Rural Chef of the Year' can be ordered or even a casserole in the Aga awaiting your arrival. This is a fantastic part of Scotland for a holiday and this house is in an idyllic setting and truly luxurious - a very special place to stay. To quote from The Sunday Times - 'Heavenly cottage and food', 'The best sited hot tub in Europe' and 'Staggeringly lovely fare' - no wonder they listed this property in their '6 of the Best Cottages in Britain'!
