The details

Looking out over Loch Shieldaig, Tigh Beag is well-designed and well-located sitting in sheltered woodland on the south shore of the loch. The house overlooks a beautiful bay, home to seals, otters and herons, and the direct access to the water is ideal for sea swimmers and kayakers. 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, underfloor heating throughout and you will find 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 seats four 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. The master features a Hypnos king-size bed and has its own en suite with bath and spacious walk-in shower. Also with a king-size, the second bedroom overlooks the loch and has a built-in wardrobe. There’s another shower room too.

Tigh Beag also offers a utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer and clothes pulley and also an outdoor sitting area.  Access to the onsite garage can be made available for bicycles.

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.

This was our second holiday in this lovely cottage. It is the best one for wildlife watching that we’ve stayed in. We’ve seen otters, seals, a golden eagle, sea eagles, deer and a pine marten, all from the cottage! The place is beautifully equipped and the owners very helpful. We’ve had good beer and food at the Torridon bar and the Applecross inn, as well as delicious salmon sandwiches at Shieldaig. We had brilliant weather and the scenery along the coast and around Torridon is spectacular. We would certainly recommend this as a great place for a holiday

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Tigh Beag delivers scenery, wildlife, peace and tranquillity, it did not disappoint. This cottage has all you need for a very comfortable stay with some lovely finishing touches. Whilst you do need a car if you want to venture further afield there are some good walks close by and the village itself has a shop and places to eat out. I could have simply watched Lake Sheildaig from the window or shore for a year and been satisfied! Highly recommended stay for all who want to experience the Scottish Highlands in its true beauty!
