Situated above the coastal road, it offers expansive views of Scotland’s northwestern coast, looking out to the Summer Isles and beyond to the Atlantic Ocean. Nestled in the village of Althandu, the cottage is within 4 miles of the village’s shopping and acclaimed dining options.

From the village, it is easy to catch a boat for a day trip out to the islands. Visitors can also enjoy deep-sea, salmon and trout fishing.
