The detail

Looking out over Loch Shieldaig in the most spectacular fashion, Tigh Beag is well-designed and well-located. The interior is as impressive as the breathtaking view, offering the most inviting environment for a holiday in the Scottish Highlands.

Remote enough for that feeling of freedom, but not so far that it’s inconvenient, Tigh Beag is around three miles from the village of Shieldaig. This wonderfully picturesque village has the essential amenities you may need, including a general store, café and bar. Be sure to stop to admire the view of the loch and the mountains of Torridon and Beinn Alligin.

The house itself embraces style and simplicity in the design, which offers all sorts of luxuries in an understated way. Among them, you will find a host of Neff appliances in the kitchen (oven, induction hob, microwave, dishwasher and a fridge freezer), and a Quooker tap for instant boiling water, as well as oak flooring throughout.

Part of the same open-plan space, the dining area provides seating for six with a beautiful view of the loch through the patio doors. The scenic backdrop extends to the living area, where a wood-burning stove, two Ercol chairs, rocking chair and a two-seater sofa are ready to relax you. There is a Smart TV but, even with Freesat and Netflix, it’ll have a hard time competing with that view.

The bedrooms are just as appealing, and you can choose from three. The master features a Hypnos king-size bed and has its own en suite with underfloor heating, bath and spacious shower. Also with a king-size, the second bedroom overlooks the loch and has a built-in wardrobe. There is also a bunk room, with handmade bunks, that can be made available if there are children in your party, and there’s another shower room too, and there’s another shower room too.

Found on the coastal road to Applecross, which provides one of Scotland’s most spectacular drives, Tigh Beag is around 70 miles from Inverness, which is the airport to look for if you’re flying in. All sorts of water-based adventures await you on arrival, with sailing charters available in the local area.
