Tranquil modern home, stunning sea and mountain views, private shoreline access. | Cottage in Gairloch, United Kingdom

Arrowdale is an architect-designed cottage in a stunning location with private access to the sea. Guests never fail to be blown away. New to VRBO this year. SEE 'ARROWDALE HOLIDAY COTTAGE' ON GOOGLE FOR FIVE STAR REVIEWS.
One of the standout features of the house is the huge picture window in the kitchen/living room. The window seat is big enough for two, and a great place to nature watch, read or snooze after a long day exploring the hills and the sea. There's a wood burning stove, and plenty of games, books and puzzles if you don't want to use the smart tv. There's croquet, giant jenga and outdoor Twister for at home days enjoying the lovely sunny garden. There's lots of bird and animal life near the house too for you to enjoy with the spotting scope in the living room. The kitchen is as well equipped as the best home kitchen - no blunt kitchen knives here - and there's a coffee grinder if you don't want to let the Nespresso machine do your work for you.
The Master Bedroom is downstairs. It has a king size bed and an en suite bathroom. The bathroom has a large bath with a powerful overhead shower, under floor heating and a heated towel rail. The two twin bedrooms are upstairs in the eaves of the cottage and they share a bathroom. You'll find lots of fluffy towels and high thread count bedlinen at Arrowdale, there's a woollen rug on every bed, not that you'll need one as the house is lovely and cosy.
The house is decorated with relaxation and comfort in mind. The palette throughout is calming and in harmony with the landscape in which the cottage sits. The house is furnished almost exclusively with Neptune furniture, including the fitted kitchen.
The house stands in over 6 acres of private ground with safe, direct access to the sea. It couldn't be easier for you to swim every day if you want to, you can borrow a kayak (or bring your own) and head straight out to sea without ever having to get into your car. There are lots of lovely local walks too. The area is a haven for wildlife, there's a thriving family of seals in the sea beside the house, otters too, pine marten and roe deer are often seen in the garden, sometimes red deer too.
There's a fine dining restaurant (The Shieldaig Lodge Hotel) less than half a mile away with an amazing bar and a billiard table; three miles in the opposite direction from the house is a fantastic pub. The Badachro Inn has stunning views, lovely food, and a wood fired pizza takeaway service.
There are wonderful beaches close by, including the much-admired Red Point and its slightly harder to get at but very special neighbour, Far Red Point, featured on the film What We Did on Our Holiday. You will see glorious views out to Skye, Rona and as far as Harris and Lewis on a good day, from Far Red Point you look towards Torridon and the Applecross Peninsula. You can horse ride along Red Point from the nearby Gairloch Trekking Centre.
There's a lovely wee golf course in Gairloch, you can hire a boat and go fishing, or take a longer trip and go way out to sea in search of whales, dolphins and orcas. You can hire a local guide who can take you coasteering or who can take you for tailored adventures in the hills, including rock climbing and igloo making. You can get paddle boarding lessons, or hire e-bikes locally too. There are many many walks and bike rides that you can enjoy, some of which can be enjoyed straight from the house, and there are many mountains in easy reach of the cottage by car. There's archery and falconry throughout the summer months at the Shieldaig Lodge Hotel, half a mile from the house. New this year, there's a mobile sauna at the Shieldaig Lodge Hotel, you can either visit it at the hotel or have it installed in the driveway for your stay. There's a wonderful distillery three miles away where you can take a tour and taste their wonderful gin, vodka and whisky. During the summer holidays there's a local ceilidh night with a live band and a caller to make sure that everyone feels confident and ready to join in. Locals and holiday makers mingle on these ceilidh evenings, giving a Highland welcome and a taste of Scottish culture.
There's so much to see and do, and most guests find that they run out of time to do all that they want to if they only stay for a week (two week stays are discounted).
The shops are around 10 minutes away, and you'll find everything there that you need. There are many local cafes and restaurants, some featuring local seafood (the langoustines are incredible), some specialising in sweet treats like fully loaded waffles or cakes - no shortage of wonderful cakes in Gairloch - a local favourite specialises in Creole flavours (rave reviews from everybody who goes). Of course you'll find fish and chips and other pub favourites here too.
If you don't feel like cooking but you like home cooked food you can order from a menu of 'Arrowdale Ready Meals' cooked by your host. No more arriving in the early evening at a holiday house after a long journey and having to go out and find somewhere to eat; Arrowdale guests can have food waiting for them in the fridge when they arrive. Turn the oven on, pop the food in and go and sit on a rock by the sea with a drink while your supper looks after itself...
The location is private, beautiful and incredibly peaceful, the house is comfortable and a wonderfully relaxing place to be, the sea is less than 150 metres from the house. You can be as active as you choose, there's plenty of options for visitors either way.
Arrowdale is much loved by everyone who visits, and many people return.
