Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently describe the property as very clean, well-maintained, and immaculate, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.

The location is celebrated for its great walking routes, beaches, and proximity to Inverewe Gardens, making it fantastic for outdoor enthusiasts, although limited local amenities are noted.

The property is generally regarded as comfortable with quality furnishings, though a few guests mention the beds being a bit hard.

Facilities are modern and comfortable, with good Wi-Fi and heating. However, some guests suggest that additional cutlery and crockery would be beneficial for larger groups.

While the property is well-equipped, there is only a single mention of a welcome pack, which is not sufficient to evaluate the consistency of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or extra touches.

Poolewe, a picturesque settlement, can be found in Loch Ewe's protection, near the point where the River Ewe emerges from Loch Maree. Gorgeous nature surrounds this little town, which features a well-stocked store, a tiny swimming pool, and two hotels. Half a mile over the water from the village is the internationally acclaimed Inverewe Garden, which is maintained by the National Trust for Scotland. Osgood Mackenzie, a botanist, worked on the site from 1862 until his death in 1922. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, it has become a haven for exotic plants from all over the world. The stunning sands of Gruinard Bay are located five miles to the west, while Firemore Beach is located a similar distance north along the coast; a string of beautiful beaches round the bay, and many of them are easily accessible from the main road. The location is perfect for a vacation because to its beautiful scenery, mountains, superb hillwalking, golf, fishing, wildlife cruises, and much more.

    There were three generations of us and it was perfect. The house was incredibly clean and the owners had kitted it out with everything we might need. We would happily stay there again and would definitely recommend this Cottage as a base for exploring Poolewe you and the surrounding area.
