About this property

A loch side property with stunning views located in a walker's paradise.

“Beautiful lochside property “

We invite you to experience our delightful holiday home, suitably named “Cronan-Na-Mara”, which translates from the Gaelic to “The Murmering of The Sea”. If you are in search of peace, tranquillity and spectacular views over Loch Duich and the mountains of Kintail then look no further.

This south facing detached property is situated on its own secluded plot directly on the shores of Loch Duich. Open the front door and you are a few metres from the water, greeted with striking and uninterrupted panoramic views.

Location:

The cottage is situated in the small village of Inverinate on the north shore of Loch Duich in the Kintail/Lochalsh area of the Scottish Highlands. The location is quite literally a walker’s / outdoor pursuits paradise with hill walking, climbing, water sports and shore walks right on the door step. The cottage is a perfect base to experience everything that the area has to offer and is a fantastic place to relax and unwind in following a day in the outdoors..

Kintail and Lochalsh is one of the most popular areas for walking and climbing in the Scottish Highlands. Kintail itself is famed for its classic mountain ridge walks. The Five Sisters and the South Glen Shiel Ridge are particular favourites of Munro baggers, whilst The Saddle is one of the most magnificent mountains in all Scotland. Closer to Skye is the Lochalsh peninsula between the shores of Loch Duich and Loch Carron. This area offers varied walking with villages such as Plockton as well as the region's main town at Kyle of Lochalsh. Across the dramatic Mam Ratagan pass is the remote and secluded Glenelg peninsula, a tranquil and peaceful haven far from busy routes.

The area is rich in wildlife and with some patience and determination you will be able to see sea otters playing on the shore of Loch Duich and golden eagles soaring around the mountain peeks. There are also deer, pine martin, badgers and wild goats to be seen. There is good fishing locally both in the rivers and sea. Nearby is the Isle of Skye which can be accessed via the Skye Bridge.

Wir waren zum dritten Mal in diesem wunderschönen Haus und es war trotz des schlechten Wetters ein erholsamer und sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Wir haben wieder einige Tiere gesehen (Fischreiher, Otter und Delfine,....) und werden sicher wiederkommen.

I am very much an outdoor person who enjoys walking ,hiking and cycling and hence love spending time in the highlands where I can relax and enjoy the the great outdoors.

Why they chose this property

Cronan -na -Mara is a stones throw from the shores of beautiful Loch Duich and offers spectacular views to the five sisters of Kintail . The cottage stands on its own and is the perfect place to relax ,unwind and listen to the sound of the water lapping against the shore . The perfect place to come back to after a day's hiking or sightseeing . You will not be disappointed!!

What makes this property unique

Cronan -na-Mara ticks so many boxes.. It is situated in a quiet peaceful location but is a very short drive to all the many tourist attractions the area has to offer Eilean Donan castle is a mere 10 minute drive away while the town of Kyle is just a further short drive .. It is a hill walkers paradise with walks and hikes to suit all levels of ability and surrounded by munros for the more challenging climber .It is an area of outstanding beauty with an abundance of wildlife to be seen . Otters can be seen from the shores of the house , porpoises in the loch , pine martins and so much more!!
