About this house rental

Shore Croft was built to take full advantage of its unique situation, facing south with direct access onto a pebble beach on Loch Ewe, with panoramic views out to sea. The house has a very large enclosed garden with various seating areas which allow for superb wildlife viewing.

The whole interior is beautifully designed, arranged and maintained. It is light, modern and luxurious. The sitting room and dining room/kitchen open onto wide decking from which a path leads to the garden gate which opens directly on to the beach. The house is extremely well equipped with an open fire in the sitting room. There are 4 bedrooms. A master bedroom with an en suite wet room and either 3 twin bedrooms or 2 twin and a king. There is a full bathroom / wet room upstairs as well as a downstairs loo. The kitchen / dining room is extremely large and very well equipped with a large modern range cooker and American fridge freezer.

There is an extremely large (approx 1 acre), fenced garden which has a wonderful wildlife viewing area. The wildlife sightings from this viewing area are exceptional and include otters, common dolphin, harbour porpoise and several different rare sea birds. There is also a seating area around a fire pit.

This is a romantic retreat for couples or a holiday home for up to 8 people.

    It's far easier to talk about the negatives points of Shorecroft....nothing! We've stayed in holiday cottages for years and Shorecroft is by far the most outstanding. The location and views are simply stunning, Shorcroft itself is fabulous and oozes quality, from the beds and bedding through to the kitchen utensils, literally everything has been thought about and executed to perfection. There was even smoked salmon and Champagne awaiting our arrival. We definitely hope to return, thank you.

    The kitchen of the house is perfectly equipped and the house itself is really a dream: wonderful bedrooms, bathrooms, a living room and even a separate room for the wash machine and the wardrobe. We felt ourselves very comfortable in the house with all the lovely decorated stuff around. We really enjoyed our stay very much! And our dog enjoyed the huge garden!

    Lovely Place!
    Lovely Place!
    Very well laid out property with a luxury feel to it. All the main rooms have views over the loch. The kitchen and dining area is very well equipped. My teenage son made use of the ice maker and we made use of the Nespresso machine as our go-to luxuries. We ate in and out enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of us. We saw some fabulous sunsets when it was sunny. We relaxed in front of the scenery and did some walking, kayaking and fishing. A very peaceful area but a real hive of activity during WW11 when military personnel occupied the area for the artic convoys, a nearby museum we visited tells the story...very interesting. Some remains of the old battlements along the coast are still visible. It only took us 5 mins to drive to a well stocked store at Aultbea and we visited the market in Poolewe on a Tuesday. You can also phone the local fisherman and order fresh langoustine etc. Phone number at the store. We picked some fresh langoustine (still living) up at Badachro whilst in that area and cooked them à la Jamie Oliver. Fish n chips at Gairloch we’re also very nice. Also, amazingly, there is a local cafe, part of the perfume studio, just 10 mins walk away. Like the last bastion of civilisation before wilderness and the Atlantic! If you like the great outdoors with beautiful scenery...A great part of the world to holiday!

    This was our seventh visit to Shore Croft and every time we return we are always taken aback by the sheer beauty of the surrounding area and the luxurious house. The updated decor and artwork that have been added since our last visit are absolutely stunning. It is hard to imagine a more beautiful property in such a fabulous area with wonderful views and direct access onto the beach! I cannot recommend Shore Croft highly enough.

    This was our second visit to Shorecroft, once again we had a fantastic holiday in this lovely property. It’s in a beautiful location and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We’ve already booked again for next year. It’s rare to find a dog friendly property that’s so luxurious and the dogs love the secure garden with access to the beach.
