Lochside in a beautiful setting, with stunning water front views of Lochshiel. | House in Acharacle
4 Bedroom House in Salen, Acharacle
Lochside is an attractive, modern, and spacious bungalow, near Acharacle, Ardnamurchan, in the Highlands, on the west coast of Scotland. It is a lovely, homely property, benefitting from a wood burning stove and central heating and is situated in a great location and a perfect base for your holiday.
Well behaved dogs are welcome.
House details are: Front door leads into the hall which has a coat and shoe cupboard. The back door leads straight into a boot room and then into the utility room where there is ample hanging space for coats above a radiator and also room for dog beds or cages. The utility also has a new Bosch washing machine, and tumble dryer, along with sink and a second fridge freezer to give guests extra space. We have just extended the old dining room to give us a spacious kitchen/ diner with walk in pantry storage, dining capacity for 8, a sofa to relax in and views to the garden on 2 sides. The comfy new living room (now in its 2nd year) has been turned around now with new attractive stove to the left and panoramic views of the loch from the sofas. There is sofa seating for 8. There is also Sky TV.
Along the hallway from the front door we have the family bathroom with separate shower. Four bedrooms, two to the rear with views of the garden, and two to the front with views of the loch. The bedrooms to the rear includes the master bedroom furnished with a kingsize double bed, antique wardrobe, chest of drawers and en-suite toilet, basin and electric shower. The second rear bedroom has a double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers. In the front bedrooms, we have a kingsize bed in the yellow bedroom, and a double bed in the green room both with storage for personal items.
Wifi is free and available throughout the property, and you can normally pick up a mobile phone signal.
Adjacent to the house, there's a building set up as a games room. Here you have games which include Wii, Xbox 360, a pool and air hockey reverse table, plus a darts board. There is also plenty of seating.
The house benefits from an elevated position looking to the loch, on a very quiet no through road. Offering stunning views across the Loch to the hills beyond. The views to the rear are over the moor, to the hills of Glen Moidart. The garden is approximately two thirds of an acre, with also a patio to the front, and a seating area to the rear, a great place to to read a book. There is mobile barbeque and garden seating, offering space for all the family, friends and dogs. The garden is fenced on all sides with gated access to the spacious driveway.
The house lies on the western end of Loch Shiel and is surrounded by beautiful scenery making it a popular holiday destination for people who enjoy the great outdoors. Acharacle (1miles) near by has some good quality resources such as: Loch Shiel hotel/pub/boat hire, Ardshealach restaurant, busy Lochshiel garage/ breakdown service, Tioram tea room, village store/post office, a doctor's surgery, loch shiel pier, all weather pitch, and small swing park and toilets. There is also a further two excellent local places to eat out close by, the Salen hotel (with cosy pub) and quality Mingarry Park restaurant.
We believe the area has some of the best kept secrets on the west coast! From the stunning Loch Shiel, to local white sand beaches and Castle Tioram. Beautiful walks down river from the house take you a few miles to the sea and the Castle (the seat of Clan Ranald). You will find spectacular scenery, wild and beautiful, unspoilt landscapes. Populated with Scotland's most iconic wildlife, which are resident all year round. Eagles, otters, deer, red squirels, to name but a few
Those interested in the past will discover the rich local history, of Clan Ranald and Macdonalds, available through local Moidart history group based at Glenuig by the shop.
Day trips we also recommend, can be made to:
Going south: to Ardnamurchan, you can take Island wildlife/fishing boat trips from Glen Borrowdale, or visit the lighthouse on the most westerly point of the mainland, for the view and also if your fortunate (best chance in calm conditions) to spot dolphins, a basking shark or maybe a Minkie whale!
With the choice of stopping in on the way there or way back: at the Adelphi distillery, locall visitor centre, village of Kilhoan, and beautiful Sanna beach.
Additionally, the passenger ferry trip from Kilchoan can take you to Tobermory on Mull, or book a boat trip from Kilhoan to the Treshnish Isles, to see sights like Fingal's Cave, and the puffins.
Going East from Salen, you can visit the quite village of Stronian, and access in the well equiped Sunart centre, for music, the gym and sports hall. Also Strontian Hotel for food or a drink in the pub.
Going north via Lochailort to the famous Glenfinnan viaduct (Harry potter) and Charlie's monument, (45mins) are very popular. Or even book well in advance a memorable trip on the steam train from Mallaig to Fort William.
Fort William (estimate 1hr drive) is the outdoor capital of the north, with a Gondola and mountain restaurant, champion mountain bike course, indoor climbing centre, ten pin bowling, shops etc, Ben Nevis, and the stealth falls up glen Nevis definitely worth a trip!
Additionally, from Mallaig (50min) take a ferry trip to Isle of Skye to see the famous 'fairy pools' or 'Old man of Stoer'!
At Arisaig, go on the Shearwater passenger ferry, for the chance of seeing minke whales, porpoises and dolphins on a sensational trip around the Inner Hebrides Isles of Eigg, Rhum, and Canna!
