Badluarach Sea View - a cottage that sleeps 5 guests in 3 bedrooms

8/10 Good
"This is a really nice 'traditional' croft/cottage in an amazing location. Plus sides - location, value, enclosed garden (clean/safe area for food and letting our dog out away from sheep in the wider grounds area). The view is outstanding - we saw seals, dolphins, stags, buzzards and red kites from the cottage. The surrounding area is superb for hills, beaches, rock climbing etc. Ullapool is about 45 minutes away for shops and touristy stuff. Downsides - it is relatively remote so you will be driving to anything you want to do, the ceilings are low (my son is 6 foot and had to duck for downstairs doors and couldn't stand upright anywhere in the upstairs, the rest of us are 5 1/2 footers so were OK bar under eaves upstairs). We had very sporadic 4G mobile so you may struggle if you want to be online constantly. Kitchen is reasonably equipped for 4 so we cooked in most evenings and enjoyed the peace and quiet."
