Only a stone’s throw away from Little Loch Broom, this breathtaking home in the Scottish highlands is an absolute celebration of peace and tranquillity. Embrace the seclusion as you sit out early morning, admiring the views with a cup of freshly-brewed coffee. Meals can also be taken out on the little picnic-style bench, because believe us when we say, you’re going to want as much time as possible here enjoying the magic of simply being present in the space. Watch mist dissipate, clouds roll across the sky to cast shadows on the loch, and when the infamous Scottish weather drives you inside, well, you’ll still have floor-to-ceiling windows through which to keep that connection with the rugged beauty outside. With marble, wood, texture, and a lot of detail, this home not only feels modern, but it somehow retains the charm of a log cabin, albeit more luxurious, and the warmth that comes with it, making this feel like a home away from home. Spend wet days stretched out on the sofa with cocoa in hand, or take full advantage of the board games on offer here and have yourself a bit of friendly competition. When the rest of the group wander off to do their own thing after a lunch enjoyed at the heavy timber dining table – we suggest sourdough topped with black pudding, cherry tomatoes, vinegar and black pepper – you can claim the window bench for a reading nook or retreat upstairs for a luxurious bubble bath with views of the loch. Take advantage of sunny days by exploring the area and find the Ardessie Falls only a short walk away. Stop off at the pancake tearoom or drive about fifteen minutes away to dine at the Ocean View Hotel. One of Scotaland’s famous hidden beaches, Gunaird Bay, is also at the end of a fifteen-minute drive.
