Sailing •Lochcarron sailing club Single Track Roads There are many miles of single track roads in the area so please follow the following guidelines to keep the ‘locals’ happy and you safe! •Stop at a passing place to let oncoming traffic pass.

Don't drive past the final one in the face of an oncoming vehicle or you will be expected to reverse. •Only enter a passing place on your left. If the passing place is on your right, stop opposite it and let the oncoming vehicle enter the space. •Passing places are also there to enable traffic to overtake.

Bright and airy bedroom, private bathroom with deep luxury bath in a modern house designed to maximise the stunning view of the sea and the surrounding mountains. An extensive breakfast selection, including home made and local produce. The house is situated in the village of Stromeferry, a short drive from bridge to the Isle of Skye and also from the NC500 Route.

A unique contemporary property with outstanding views. The house is situated in a tiny village with good transport links. Stromeferry is an ideal base for exploring both the Isle of Skye and this part of the Scottish Highlands. We are sited in a good place for those following 'northcoast500' - especially if an extra day for exploring the Isle of Skye is on the agenda. The seashore is a few minutes walk away. Woodland walks nearby and lots of wildlife on the doorstep. We are regularly seeing a seal popping up and down in the water, also dolphins infrequently visit the loch and their movement is clearly visible from the house. There are boat trips in the area and we will happily recommend something to suit your plans. Breakfast offers a chance to try some Highland cheeses, the freshest of eggs from our own hens, home-made bread and jams as well as a selection of fruits and cereal.

Stromeferry is all about the view. The village is small (15 houses), quiet and easy to drive to. It is an ideal base for exploring both the Isle of Skye, Lochalsh, the Applecross Peninsula and Torridon areas.

My place is close to nowhere. The idea is to escape! There are pubs , restaurant and shops in Plockton if that is what you seek.. You’ll love my place because of the views, the escape, and the chance to experience something different on a budget.. The Pent Hoose is good for couples and solo adventurers, but it will only accommodate 2 people. There is NO electricity and you will need to bring sleeping bags and a torch. Please read all the details before you book! Check in 4 - 6 pm!!

This is a WOODEN TENT. Instead of sleeping on the ground under canvas we give you a covered mattress on to which you can put your sleeping bags. The "hoose" is in a field on a farm which has sheep, goats, llamas, racoons, ducks, hens, rabbits, owls and a donkey. They roam freely around the farm and you will see them on your way to the penthouse or evidence that they have been there! You can get food near our white painted house with which to feed them and can come in to the Racoon pen and feed them with one of us.

They published the local crime statistics a few years ago and 54 crimes had been committed, 53 of them by the same man "drunk and disorderly" and one by a confused dementia patient who walked off with an umbrella! It is a quiet, peaceful location which we enjoy. We could "update" our lodges and camping facilities but we fear it would attract a different clientele which we would rather avoid. Our best guests have been coming for over 30 years to enjoy the walking, sailing, climbing and just relaxation they get from this lovely area. We have had people marry on the beach and their offspring got engaged to other guests offspring that they met whilst on holiday as children. A home from home for so many people who are now classed more as friends than guests and we would not want to change this. Thus if you would class your self as "fussy" or "particular" or have not gone camping under canvas before, think twice about what you book as this may not be for you. There is no electricity in the "hoose" and the toilet is a walk away, you may encounter sheep (or the tell tale signs that one has been there!) on your way and this, whilst normal for wild campers, may not appeal to everyone.

The Kishorn Kabin is cosy, tranquil & set in wildlife friendly woodland garden. Our guests say it's a "home from home". Equipped with gas central heating, a wood burning stove and kitchen.

This is a WOODEN TENT. Instead of sleeping on the ground under canvas we give you a covered mattress on to which you can put your sleeping bags. The "hoose" is in a field on a farm which has sheep, goats, llamas, racoons, ducks, hens, rabbits, owls and a donkey. They roam freely around the farm and you may be visited by a sheep or a llama whilst you enjoy a camp fire and you may also find traces of said animals on the way to or from the penthouse! You can get food near our white painted house with which to feed them and can come in to the Racoon pen and feed them with one of us.

Patti’s home is located in Plockton, United Kingdom They published the local crime statistics a few years ago and 54 crimes had been committed, 53 of them by the same man "drunk and disorderly" and one by a confused dementia patient who walked off with an umbrella! It is a quiet, peaceful location which we enjoy. We could "update" our lodges and camping facilities but we fear it would attract a different clientele which we would rather avoid. Our best guests have been coming for over 30 years to enjoy the walking, sailing, climbing and just relaxation they get from this lovely area. We have had people marry on the beach and their offspring got engaged to other guests' offspring that they met whilst on holiday as children. A home from home for so many people who are now classed more as friends than guests and we would not want to change this. Thus if you would class your self as "fussy" or "particular" or have not gone camping under canvas before, think twice about what you book as this may not be for you. There is no electricity in the "hoose" and the toilet is a walk away, you may encounter sheep (or the tell tale signs that one has been there!) on your way and this, whilst normal for wild campers, may not appeal to everyone.

We are situated in Duncraig Square, a 300 year old building which was formally part of Duncraig Castle Estate. The Square consists of 5 houses set around a central courtyard. The village of Plockton is 2 miles away by road, or a 25 minute walk through woodlands and coastline. Plockton is a small village with 2 hotels with bars, a restaurant and a couple of shops. The village of Kyle is a 10 minute car journey, and here you will find a larger supermarket and all other essential amenities.

The Stables is a self contained small home, attached to our own home. There is shared use of a raised decked area with views over to Plockton and Loch Carron and BBQ facilities.

Duncraig Square consists of 5 permanent homes and 2 holiday lets. It is a cosy wee place in the woods, offering peace and quiet, yet only a 5 min drive into the Village of Plockton.

Our home overlooks the sea and is at the end of a track in the beautiful village of Plockton and less than ten minutes' walk away from the village. A perfect location for exploring some of the most picturesque landscapes and seascapes in Scotland.

We have an en-suite room with king size bed and a lovely view of the sea. We offer a continental breakfast with home made granola and fresh fruit.

Plockton is ideally placed to visit the Isle of Skye, the village of Applecross, which is on the North 500 route and is a great stop off point for people travelling to the Western Isles via Skye. There are many activities in or close to the village - Callum’s famous Seal Trips; wonderful walks to suit all abilities and levels of fitness; kayaking and mountain climbing as well as lovely bike routes.

A stunning three bedroom Highland lodge, on The North Route 500, boasting spectacular views of Loch Carron. Samphire lodge is situated on a slope giving it a vantage overlooking the sea to the Attadale valley. Situated at the edge of the village, you are a short stroll from local amenities. Indoors you are greeted by the warm colour of the wood, and feels especially cosy when the cast iron fire is roaring. Samphire Lodge has three spacious bedrooms, a wet room and fully equipped kitchen.

All spaces

A lovely simple, basic lodge on the shores of Lochcarron and near the pretty village of Plockton knows as the "Jewel of the Highlands". There is a balcony which opens in to a living room/kitchen, a double bedroom and bathroom. A pine marten often visits the balcony for treats in the evenings. There are terrific views over the loch and it is a couple of minutes walk from the shore and the heron sanctuary on the island which is accessed at low tides over a coral strand. Note simple NOT luxury.

Balcony opens into a living room kitchen. There is a bathroom and one double bedroom. Parking next to cabin with terrific views over the loch. Binoculars are provided to help you spot pine martens,otters,seals or even the passing badger. It should also be noted that this is a farm and we keep animals, including hens and some times the hens visit the balcony, especially if guests have been feeding them. The side effect is that these lovely rare Sicilian Buttercups do leave a "calling card" so we discourage you from feeding them as the next guest may not be so happy about the mess!!

Get away from it all. We did!
