Come to Scotland, relax and enjoy a stress
free holiday amongst some of the most beautiful
and spectacular scenery in the world.
Situated
in the small rural hamlet of Achmore in
Ross-shire, and surrounded by natural woodland
and pine forests, Glenview cottage enjoys
uninterrupted views of largely unspoilt natural
habitat rich in wildlife. With plenty to see and
do for all the family, Glenviews location makes
it ideal as a touring base.
The Area
The 'tropical' village of
Plockton with it's palm trees growing along
the main street, is just 7 miles away. 11 miles
away is the fishing town of Kyle of Lochalsh,
with the road bridge to take you 'over the sea
to Skye', and only 8 miles away is surely one
of the most famous castles to be found
in Scotland, Eilean Donan.
Situated in one of
the most beautiful and romantic settings, the
castle has been used in many films over the
years such as Braveheart and Local Hero.
There are plenty of amenities in the area,
golf, fishing, horse riding and even trips in a
glass bottomed boat! In Kyle you can also enjoy
the facilities of an indoor swimming pool at the
Leisure centre but, if you just want to 'head
for the hills' for a spot of walking or
climbing and to take in the spectacular scenery,
the Kintail, Cuillin and Torridon ranges are all
practically on the doorstep!
When it comes to eating out, you will be
spoilt for choice. There are a number of
excellent award winning restaurants and pubs in
the neighbouring villages, serving some of the
very best and freshest local produce cooked to
mouthwatering perfection.
Your meal may even be accompanied by local
musicians playing traditional music.
The local shops are well stocked for all your
self-catering needs with post offices and banks
at hand too.
The city of Inverness, the 'Capital of the
Highlands' and gateway to Loch Ness, is
approximately 70 miles away and offers extensive
shopping, entertainment and leisure activities
with Inverness airport close by.
But, why not sit back and relax and let the
'train take the strain'- starting at Kyle,
the train journey to Inverness will take you
through some stunning scenery and don't forget
to keep a lookout for the herds of deer along
the way!
