A loch side property with stunning views located in a walker's .

“Beautiful private lochside property close to Isle of Skye “

We invite you to experience our delightful holiday home, suitably named “Cronan-Na-Mara”, which translates from the Gaelic to “The Murmering of The Sea”. If you are in search of peace, tranquillity and spectacular views over Loch Duich and the mountains of Kintail then look no further.

This south facing detached property is situated on its own secluded plot directly on the shores of Loch Duich. Open the front door and you are a few metres from the water, greeted with striking and uninterrupted panoramic views.

Location:

The cottage is situated in the small village of Inverinate on the north shore of Loch Duich in the Kintail/Lochalsh area of the Scottish Highlands not far from the famous bridge over to the Isle of Skye.The location is quite literally a walker’s / outdoor pursuits paradise with hill walking, climbing, water sports and shore walks right on the door step. The cottage is a perfect base to experience everything that the area has to offer and is a fantastic place to relax and unwind in following a day in the outdoors..

Kintail and Lochalsh is one of the most popular areas for walking and climbing in the Scottish Highlands. Kintail itself is famed for its classic mountain ridge walks. The Five Sisters and the South Glen Shiel Ridge are particular favourites of Munro baggers, whilst The Saddle is one of the most magnificent mountains in all Scotland. Closer to Skye is the Lochalsh peninsula between the shores of Loch Duich and Loch Carron. This area offers varied walking with villages such as Plockton as well as the region's main town at Kyle of Lochalsh. Across the dramatic Mam Ratagan pass is the remote and secluded Glenelg peninsula, a tranquil and peaceful haven far from busy routes.

The area is rich in wildlife and with some patience and determination you will be able to see sea otters playing on the shore of Loch Duich and golden eagles soaring around the mountain peeks. There are also deer, pine martin, badgers and wild goats to be seen. There is good fishing locally both in the rivers and sea. Nearby is the Isle of Skye which can be accessed via the Skye Bridge.

Please note that a car is highly recommended to experience the Scottish Highlands. Travel times to some key locations and amenities are highlighted below:

"a little slice of heaven!"

we very much enjoyed our stay! this cottage was perfectly located for exploring the Isle of skye and surrounding areas. the scenery was beautiful, and we saw an otter one day swimming out back! (as well as a beautiful double rainbow!) Joy was very helpful and responsive to all of our needs. I would defiantly recommend this cottage to anyone who would like to explore the area.

Fantastic lochside cottage.

We were so lucky to have full sunshine for four days of our stay. Loch and mountain views were spectacular. So much wildlife around. We had our kayak with us and were out on the water before breakfast.

Amazing house with breathtaking surroundings

We spent a week in September and it was an amazing time. The house has everything you need for a family and there are dozens hiking trails around it. It was a pleasure to communicate with the owner as she replies very fast and with all the information. Highly recommended!

Beautiful view every morning

The most amazing thing about this property was the beautiful view of the Loch every morning and every evening. You could sit and watch it for hours. It was too cool to use the outside amenities, but inside had everything you could possibly need. We fixed several breakfasts and a couple dinners in the kitchen. The other eating establishments were only a few minutes drive, and everywhere we went were friendly and delicious. We used this as our base to visit the Isle of Skye, and it was very convenient. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful Scenery

The property was everything as advertised, the location was magnificent. As I am nearly 80 the entertainment options are a bit limited but my son found nurseries, potteries, the Isle of Skye, Lock Lomond and chocolate shops and bakeries so we had a lovely week despite poor weather. The people are very friendly and we felt very welcome.

Perfect stay!

Wow! What a beautiful house! A perfect stay from start to finish. It helped that we had a heatwave but the location and view from this property were spectacular. Felt much more spacious than the photos show and you just can’t capture how beautiful the loch is. We went out kayaking in front of the house and saw porpoises up close, enjoyed the restaurant recommendations too! We will be back!

Stunning getaway!

The house is more than just a holiday cottage. It’s a home. There is nothing we wanted for in this beautiful house. Exceptionally clean with very comfortable beds. We saw porpoises, seals and bird life from the house. We have a kayak and launching it was made easy by the owners clearing a way down to the water which we very much appreciated. It also made swimming in the loch a pleasure. We also enjoyed sitting in the evening around the large fire pit and watching the stars. Having a week of sunshine in a stunning location in a fabulous house … what more could you ask for!
