Nestling in a quiet location in the heart of the village, our thatched cottage is a get away from it all retreat, yet close to all that Plockton has to offer. Just the perfect place to come home to at the end of the day after exploring this wonderful area.

Guest access
Guests have sole use of the cottage which has its own front and back door. There is also a dedicated parking space for guests right beside the cottage. From the back door guests can access the back garden with washing line for drying clothes (in addition to tumble dryer in the cottage) and further seating with view of the loch. This larger garden area is shared with our house. Guests also have access to our loch-side garden in front of the main house.

Other things to note
The cottage sleeps a maximum of two. It has only one double bed in an open plan living / sleeping area. No more than the maximum number of guests can be accommodated in the cottage at any time.
The minimum stay is generally three nights but shorter stays may be accepted on request depending on availability.
From previous guests feedback, we do recommend at least four nights to enjoy all that Plockton has to offer and to explore areas such as the Isle of Skye or the small isles, or the Glenelg or the Applecross peninsula, all accessible as day trips from the cottage.
We also offer guests a reduction on the daily rates for stays of seven nights or more.

We have both now retired from work in local government and returned to our roots in Plockton, where we let the thatched cottage, next door to our home. We enjoy being airbnb hosts and welcoming guests to to our unique and historic little cottage.
