Hazelbrae Cottage, Letterfearn, Glenshiel, Ross-shire

Hazelbrae stands on the south shore of Loch Duich in an area of outstandingly beautiful mountainous scenery and has superb views across the loch. This is a hillwalkers’ paradise with 20 Munros readily accessible, while many easier lower level walks start from the front door - just walking through Letterfearn to the road-end will provide stunning views (especially at sunset) across the water. Why not let your eyes do the walking, and look out for seals, otters, pine martens and red deer – we have frequently watched otters in the loch from the kitchen window!

Explore nearby Glenelg with its amazing Iron Age brochs, (and a very good pub with a log fire) and carry on to beautiful Arnisdale (passing Sandaig, of Gavin Maxwell ‘Ring of Bright Water’ fame) where in the winter months a herd of red deer are easy to see by the road. Onward to Corran, where tame red deer wander through the hamlet at will, lying down for a snooze in the front gardens of the cottages! In the summer, hire a boat on Loch Duich from Donnie at Letterfearn and go mackerel fishing: Visit the iconic Eilean Donan Castle on your way to the Skye Bridge, (21 miles from the cottage) - and onward to the Isle of Skye, the attractions of which are too numerous too cover here. Come back via the small car ferry from Kylerhea to Glenelg (summer only) – and see some really stunning scenery.

Visit the beautiful coastal village of Plockton (of Hamish McBeth TV fame) and go for a boat trip to see the seals. Go pony trekking on the lovely native Highland ponies at Shiel Bridge, or go out in a pony and trap from Ratagan Stables. Dine out at a choice of local pubs and restaurants…join in a live music session at local pubs (details on cottage website) ……..the choice is yours!!
