About this property

LUXURY COTTAGE IN STUNNING LOCATION, HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND

Shepherds Cottage is located within the Lochcarron Estate in the Scottish Highlands, and provides self-catering accommodation for up to 6 people.

The Cottage dates back to the early 19th Century and was purchased by the current Owner in January 2014. The property was completely rebuilt during a substantial renovation project lasting 1 year.

From the floors to the roof, everything became ‘as new’ (in 2015). The Owner spared no expense on the highest quality and attention to detail. Today, the Cottage is of the highest specification whilst retaining classic tradition, resulting in a perfect combination of ultra-modern with period design.

For those wanting to get away from it all in a unique and remote setting, Shepherds Cottage is one of a kind. Surrounding you are hills and Lochs and the deer graze right down by the house while the river bubbles past. You can fish from the banks of the Loch for native brown trout and you can walk for miles and see nobody.

The only neighbour within several kms is Glasnock House (same owner / also holiday rental).

A hidden highland Gem

The Sheppards hut name conjures up images of warmth and comfort in remote mountain settings. The cottage hits all of this and more with highland country elegance, wonderful heating, loads of piping hot water, and yes Stags and Deer roaming the grounds.The setting is amazing and not too remote with mountains outside the door but the Kishorn seafood bar only 10 mins away. The owner could not be more friendly and helpful and the place is spotless. A must return place.

Amazing Location & Fabulous Holiday Property

The location was just perfect for us. It is remotish but the property has everything you could need. The place is situated in what we can only describe as a place of outstanding beauty and if that wasn't enough the wildlife is amazing as well. So much to take in and see in the surrounding areas. It's about as majestic as it gets! We will definitely be returning

Beautiful property in a beautiful location!

We’ve had a brilliant week at Shepherd’s Cottage, which is perfectly set up for a week in the Highlands no matter what the weather delivers. Dog friendly, extremely comfortable and an unbeatable setting. Many thanks to Rebecca who made our holiday so easy and enjoyable!

A cottage with a very peaceful and beautiful location,.

The cottage is located in beautiful surroundings and benefits from a lovely flowing living space. We really enjoyed relaxing with the stove on in the evenings after a nice walk. The location was great enabling us to easily access Applecross and Torridon.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca

With the help of architects and interior designers I wanted to turn Shepherds Cottage into a luxury retreat, a sanctuary for people like me who love to get away from it all but who want to do so in a luxurious environment with all the benefits of modern technology.

Shepherds Cottage is the ideal getaway for guests looking for peace and tranquillity in a brand new modern home.

Why they chose this property

I completed the build of GLASNOCK HOUSE (the only neighbour) in 2011 and when Shephards Cottage went on the market I couldn't resist another project.

I love spending time here, far away from my hectic lifestyle and I think this house would appeal to anyone wanting the same from their holiday.

There is so much to do in the local area - gorgeous deserted beaches, excellent hiking trails, or fishing and stalking.

Otherwise, make the most of the masseuse who lives nearby, or Alison the Chef who will come and cook at home (or deliver delicious home-cooked goodies). You don't even have to leave the serentiy of the cottage if you don't feel inclined!

What makes this property unique

Set on the vast Lochcarron Estate, the cottage is down a 1km track and the private plot is enclosed with full deer fencing allowing the garden to be completely dog / child proof! You can walk for miles all day and not see another soul!

The cottage boasts magnificent views over the mountains of Applecross to one side and the Torridon mountains to the other, also overlooking Loch Loin.
