Location: Northern Scottish Highlands in Scottish Highlands & Islands

Moss Cottage is situated in the township of badenscallie and we run an active crofting business here with North Country Cheviots. Lambing time in April is always fun and later in the year you can watch the men clipping in the shed. Behind the cottage we have Conival and Ben More and the Fiddler, all ideal for walking and climbing on and the views from the top are ideal so remember to bring your camera. Badenscallie beach is the ideal place for swimming, bird watching and rock pooling. Also if you are a painter you will be inspired by the scenery.

The cottage is a five minute walk to the beach and is a safe haven for the kids to play in the sand. Ullapool as a 40 min drive away where you will find various shops for your provisions. We have the famous Summer Isles Hotel within walking distance for special meals and another local bar not far away that will cater for your needs. New to the area is the Piping School Cafe which serves lovely lunches and snacks.

Magnificent Badenscallie.

Review Submitted: June 21, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
We love this cottage and it must have one of the best views in the place. Perfect for sitting out in the garden and watching the ever changing views of the mountains, sea and sky. Watching Murdo and Jimmy working on the sheep is an added bonus too - it is good to see the traditional ways of life continuing in the area and we enjoyed watching the shearers in the big shed. The cottage is really warm and welcoming and is a great place to return to if you have had a good days walking on the hills nearby. The Macleod family provide highland hospistality at its best and we will be back Sandra, you have been warned... Best wishes to you all.

Perfect Peace.

Review Submitted: January 14, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2010
My family and I stayed at Badenscallie for the first time this year and have already booked to come back next year. We just love the area and this super cottage is the perfect base to return to each evening.
It is warm and cosy with everthing we needed with the best views from the living room windows we could hope for! Beats the city life anytime! The evening stroll to the shore was a delight and the wildlife and islands are just a joy to behold and we can return to our life feeling refreshed after our visit to Moss Cottage. See you next year Sandra!

Brilliant Holiday

Review Submitted: January 14, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2010
We have stayed at Badenscallie Cotts on a regular basis for the past few years and love to return to this area and the cottage which we know well. Moss Cottage is very comfortable especially the beds! The views are stunning and the ever changing scenery is breathtaking and we very much enjoy sitting outside in the evening with a bottle of wine watching the sun going down. The owners are perfect hosts and are around if you need them withour being intrusive. All we could want and we look forward to returning again next year. Thanks Sandra.

Review Submitted: January 9, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2010
We love returning to this superb cottage by the sea with the stunning views of the summer isles again and again. Moss Cottage has everything you will need for an unforgettable holiday in the township of Badenscallie with a super, clean base to return to each evening after exploring the area and climbing the hills. Perfect peace and perfect accommodation made better by the hospitality provided by Sandra and her family. See you again this year!
