Craig Cottage is a luxury self-catering holiday home in northwest Scotland, set near scenic Kenmore on the Applecross Peninsula. It offers an idyllic escape for romantic breaks or memorable adventures, surrounded by dramatic Highland landscapes and breathtaking views across Loch Torridon.
Accommodation
The lounge and dining room create a cosy and inviting space, with patio doors that open onto a decked area furnished for outdoor relaxation. From here, guests can enjoy uninterrupted views of the Torridon Mountains and the ever-changing sea. A separate garden room provides a peaceful spot for working, dining or unwinding while watching the birds and the resident pine marten that occasionally visits.
The cottage features two comfortable bedrooms: one with a king-size bed and one with twin beds that can be linked to form a super-king. Sustainably sourced bedding and extra blankets ensure a restful night’s sleep, and weekly linen changes are available for longer stays. Two ground-floor bathrooms—a full bathroom and a separate shower room—offer convenience for families or groups. Egyptian cotton towels are provided for each guest, with extra hand towels in both washing areas, though visitors are asked to bring their own beach towels for coastal trips.
Craig Cottage is fully equipped for self-catering, offering a modern kitchen with an electric cooker, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher and a range of coffee-making options including a Nespresso machine, filter coffee maker and cafetière. Essential items such as tea towels, dishcloths, cleaning supplies and dishwasher tablets are supplied. A utility space with a washing machine, iron, ironing board and vacuum cleaner makes the cottage well suited for extended Highland stays. Total control electric heating, preset hot water and LED lighting ensure a warm and energy-efficient environment. Smoking and pets are not permitted.
Entertainment and connectivity include free WiFi, a 40-inch Smart TV with Freesat, a DVD player and a CD/Radio/iPod player. A BT landline is also available, with outgoing calls charged separately. A multi-fuel stove with a starter supply of logs and coal adds a luxurious touch for cosy evenings. Hand wash, shower gel, ample toilet rolls and hairdryers in both bedrooms provide added convenience.
Outside, guests can enjoy the large decked area with patio furniture while watching for sea eagles, otters and other wildlife. Additional laundry facilities include a tumble dryer located in the bike shed, an outdoor rotary dryer and an indoor airer. The cottage offers parking for two cars, making it an excellent base for exploring the North Coast 500. A lockable bike shed provides secure storage for cyclists.
Visiting the Area
Craig Cottage sits on the picturesque Applecross Peninsula, an area of extraordinary beauty framed by the majestic Torridon Mountains.
