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.
