Parth Galen Plockton, Ross-shire

This is a gorgeous self-catering house in Achnandarach, a small hamlet just outside Plockton and has spectacular views over the west coast to the Isle of Skye and Raasay. The house is set in a large garden and there are many woodland walks from the doorstep and a sea loch just 2 minutes away. There is so much to do in this part of Scotland that you will be spoilt for choice.

Nearby Plockton is a picturesque, small village on the shores of Loch Carron. It sits on a point (“ploc”) with the Applecross Peninsula to the north and the Isle of Skye to the west. Plocton has a mild climate - even palm trees grow here! - which adds to the popularity of the region for holidays. Plockton village has many small shops, galleries and fabulous eating places. The BBC TV series 'Hamish Macbeth' which starred Robert Carlyle, was filmed in Plockton so you may recognise it!

There are many great places to eat out nearby, with especially good fresh fish and seafood so if you don't want to cook on your self-catering holiday then you will have a great variety of pubs and restaurants to choose from - the local Plocton Hotel also offers excellent food. A popular day-trip is to take a boat trip out to see the seals (and perhaps whales and dolphins too): walking and local sandy beaches are fantastic. The rare bread farm is a popular attraction, particularly with children who love the llamas, ponies, sheep and pigs. There are lots of interesting places to visit nearby - Eilean Donan Castle (probably the most photographed castle in Scotland!), Glenelg village with the Glenelg Brochs, or take a day trip to Skye by ferry and explore this beautiful island. This is an idyllic place for a Scottish holiday - lovely accommodation, very relaxing, beautiful countryside and the most perfect views - you won't want to leave!

Accommodation: The house sits on its own in a gorgeous wooded site and has stunning views over the sea to Skye and Raasay. Attached to it is Parth Galen Studio which is also self-catering accommodation and sleeps 2. There are four lovely bedrooms: 1 king, 2 doubles and one twin. The sitting room is very spacious and there is also a dining room with a large oak dining table. There is a main bathroom with shower and another WC in the house. The house is centrally heated but the wood burning stove in the sitting-room gives off more than enough heat to warm even the coldest of nights. The new luxury bathroom has a multijet power shower and Jacuzzi bath. The house is situated in a 3/4 acre garden. There is garden furniture so you can spend time relaxing in the garden and enjoying the view over to Skye or watching the woods and the wildlife that visits the area. Parth Galen is a very spacious, comfortable house ideal for providing a relaxing enjoyable holiday. Location: From the Kyle of Lochalsh take the road to Plockton.
