Photos and Description of this Scottish Highlands & Islands holiday cottage

Set in a commanding position overlooking the world famous White Sands of Morar, this luxury conversion of a former croft house sleeps up to 8 people in comfort and style. The setting is idyllic with secluded beaches just over the hill and the ‘Local Hero’ beach at Camusdarroch nearby, while you pass the 'Harry Potter' viaduct at Glenfinnan enroute from Fort William. The fishing port of Mallaig with its shops, seafood and other restaurants, bars and hotels is two miles away – the Mora Hotel and Bar a mile.

Activities abound when based at Bourblach. But one of the house's prime assets is its peace and tranquillity, a haven of beauty and serenity set in stunning scenery. It’s the ideal place to unwind, spoilt for choice between eating out in nearby Mallaig and cooking some of the fresh-off-the-boat seafood available in Mallaig. Bourblach is perfect for a traditional beach holiday with young children - its beaches are rated amongst the cleanest in Europe. It’s great for walking sailing, fishing or golfing for all ages. There are spectacular walks including one along the banks of Loch Morar, the deepest stretch of fresh water in Europe, and reputed home of Nessie’s sister Morag. Walkers can cut across the narrow isthmus to Loch Nevis and catch the MV Shearwater back to Morar. The Sheerwater can also be used for day trips to Inverie on Knoydart, location of the Old Forge, officially the most remote pub in Britain.
