Bernera Farmhouse, Glenelg, Highlands, Scotland

Bernera Farmhouse is idyllically located by the sea, in its own secluded glen, in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland. This traditional holiday house has been beautifully renovated and incorporates all modern conveniences whilst retaining the original features and a wood-burning stove. The house stands on its own, in breathtaking highland scenery - beautiful glens, stunning mountains and the deserted beaches of the west coast.

This house offers a remote get-away from the stresses and strains of modern life - a perfect hideaway retreat. It is within walking distance of Glenelg village, which has a good shop and the well-known Glenelg Inn (superb food and a great atmosphere). Down the coast is Sandaig beach where Gavin Maxwell wrote 'Ring of Bright Water' - otters can still be seen in the area, as well as seals and great bird-watching. Eilean Donan Castle is just over the hill - one of the most picturesque (and photographed!) castles in Scotland. Glenelg is opposite the Isle of Skye and you can take a small ferry from here over the sea to Skye in the summer months.

 

This is a delightful and cosy holiday house by the sea in an idyllic, isolated setting on the west coast. It is a perfect location for a relaxing Scottish holiday with comfortable and well-appointed, tasteful accommodation - a perfect highland retreat!

There is a separate dining area with fabulous views over a meadow and the sea to Skye. There is access to a beautiful open veranda with wooden table and chairs for al fresco dining.

Upstairs is a double bedroom with superb views - very romantic! The bathroom has a traditional enamel bath and a WC and basin.
