Whether you're sticking a toe in the water or hunting for treasures on the shoreline, Big Sand Beach is the perfect place to spend some time with the family. Why not pack a picnic basket and make a day out of it?

Situated in Gairloch, this stretch of coastline is well worth including on your itinerary. But you'll find tons more to check out in the area. Redpoint Beach, Gairloch Beach, and Gairloch Heritage Museum are within close reach of Big Sand Beach.

10/10 Exceptional! (3 reviews)
When arriving at the property it looked very dated so wasn’t sure what the rooms were going to be like. We were greeted by the host and was taken to our top floor room. It was clean and nicely decorated with a large comfortable bed with lovely pillows and bed linen. The bathroom was exceptional too, I couldn’t fault the room at all. The tea/coffee facilities were fabulous. I would highly recommend.
