Cottage,

Taigh na Carr is a remarkable contemporary eco-house located in the picturesque wilderness of Letterfearn, near Glenelg, Scotland. Situated just 0.6 miles from Letterfearn, this stunning architectural gem seamlessly blends modern styling with the rugged landscape surrounding it, offering a luxurious and opulent retreat. Overlooking Loch Duich in the Northwest Highlands, Taigh na Carr is the perfect accommodation for two couples or a family of four seeking a base for their Highland exploration.

Upon entering the eco-house, guests are greeted by a beautifully designed open-plan living space featuring three-sided floor-to-ceiling windows. These windows offer breathtaking views of the Five Sisters of Kintail mountains and fill the space with natural light. The living area is elegantly furnished, providing a cozy atmosphere where guests can relax by the woodburning stove or enjoy a coffee on one of the eye-catching sofas. The property also boasts underfloor heating powered by an air source heat pump, a solar-heated stairwell, and a well-equipped kitchen/diner, perfect for preparing meals before heading out to explore the rugged countryside.

Taigh na Carr offers two king-size bedrooms, both with stunning views of Eilean Donan Castle in the distance. One of the bedrooms features a double shower room and a king-size bed that can be set up as a twin upon request, while the other bedroom includes a large bathroom with an oval tub, ideal for unwinding after a day of adventure. The social space downstairs provides a relaxing environment for guests to gather and enjoy each other's company.

The surrounding area of Glenelg offers a variety of outdoor activities, including beach walks, forest hikes, hill walking, running, kayaking, and wild swimming. Guests can also explore the local wildlife, with opportunities to spot badgers, pine martens, and the majestic white-tailed eagle. Additionally, Glenelg provides easy access to the mainland, as well as a ferry service to Kylerhea on Skye, where visitors can explore art and craft shops, local pottery makers, and stores selling handmade Skye batiks.

For those looking to relax on the beach, Uig and Reef offer stunning white sand beaches within a day's drive. History and culture enthusiasts can delve into the region's rich heritage by visiting Armadale Castle, the fairy region, or exploring the Fairy Pools and Dunvegan Castle on Skye. Whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, Taigh na Carr offers a beautiful, breathtaking, and unforgettable starting point for your Scottish Highland experience.
