holiday cottage

Shieldaig Steading is a modern self catering holiday cottage in Wester Ross.

Sitting behind an old Victorian hunting lodge on the shores of Loch Gairloch. Shaped by its agricultural past, this thoughtfully converted steading sleeps four and provides year-round accommodation, pairing modern comforts with the rugged charm of the Scottish Highlands.

A walkers path also runs alongside the property, offering access to stunning vistas. Look north across Shieldaig Bay towards Gairloch, or follow the trail further to take in sweeping views of the Applecross peninsula and the Torridon hills which sit enticingly to the south – explore the area further.

Facilities

The holiday cottage comprises 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom and is laid out over two storeys. From the ground floor, an open plan kitchen/dining room is overlooked by a bright and spacious mezzanine/living area. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, microwave oven, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, induction hob and log burning stove to supplement the underfloor heating which is powered externally via an air source heat pump and keeps the property at a steady 19-21°C.

Double and twin rooms are both furnished with bespoke plywood bed frames and Emma mattresses. The bathroom is located on the ground floor and features a walk-in waterfall shower, heated towel rail and underfloor heating.
