Escape from the World & Rediscover Life!
Leave your busy life behind and rediscover what’s truly important to you.
We’ve created a remote and stylish hideaway in Europe’s last wilderness, on a private estate of over 650,000 acres with stunning views over Loch Naver and only 20 minutes from unspoiled beaches in the Scottish Highlands.
Devoid of the distraction of life, you can discover what’s truly important: whether it’s spending time quality time with those you love, curling up in front of the fire, exploring the wilderness, baking your own bread, rediscovering music on our Harman Kardon sound system, discovering unspoiled beaches, watching one of over 100 blue ray movies with your feet up, or just sipping a glass of wine on the tree swing watching the weather change over the Loch.
There’s no internet, the shop is 18 miles away and there’s only one neighbour within less than 6 km other than the sheep and free roaming deer.
Old Grumbeg Cottage
This absolutely charming whitewashed cottage occupies a slightly elevated location which allows for stunning views over Loch Naver. The cottage is located on a private estate in the remote and scenic north Highlands of Scotland. This is a very beautiful location and also a very remote one therefore guests must prepare well for their holiday and pack all the essentials as the nearest shop is some 18 miles away.
What an adventure this will be! Old Grumbeg Cottage has a private driveway leading up to a parking area and there is a large natural surrounding garden. Outside seating has been cleverly positioned so guests can not only soak up the fantastic vista but also sip a quiet cup of coffee and enjoy the utter peace and quiet.
The accommodation is over two floors and at ground floor level is a smart dining/kitchen with the table just in front of the window to allow for the views and also a woodburner for the chillier evenings when you can enjoy home-cooked meals together. The sitting room benefits from an open fire and the big corner sofa which is ideal to curl up in and relax after an active day out. Completing the accommodation on the ground floor is the contemporary bathroom.
The upper floor has a twin and double bedroom both overlooking the Loch, making great views from bed. The area is a fisherman’s paradise of course and permits can be obtained from the local hotel. For walkers, cyclists and wildlife watchers it’s an ideal place to come but do bring your camera.
Bettyhill (18 miles away) is a friendly village with a good local shop and fabulous sandy beach, great for picnics. The Altnahara Hotel is just 6 miles away and this rather famous fishing hotel has a smart dining room and also a relaxing bar. So a special meal out can be enjoyed here perhaps with a good bottle of wine from their varied selection.
This area is certainly one of Europe’s unspoilt wildernesses and this lovely cottage ensures a memorable holiday for all.
