Location
Marine Cottage is a detached, rural cottage near to the village of Strontian in the Scottish Highlands and benefits from fantastic loch and mountain views. This cottage has one king-size double with en-suite facilities, one ground floor king-size double, and two twins on the first floor, and can sleep eight people in four bedrooms. The rest of the cottage is made up of contemporary, open plan living accommodation with a multi-fuel stove. To the outside of this cottage there is ample off road parking and two lawned gardens to the front and rear, both with outstanding views. Marine Cottage is a wonderful property, and has local shops, pubs and glorious beaches within ten minutes' walk.
Strontian is located on the north shore of Loch Sunart and is the main village in this striking area of the West Highlands of Scotland, commonly referred to as the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. There is a relaxed pace of life here which is typical of the Highlands, with quiet roads and spectacular scenery. Strontian boasts good local amenities with shops, pubs and local hotels providing an excellent standard of cuisine. There is a real vibe in the village especially in the summer months, and wonderful live music can be heard in the Sunart Centre. From Strontian you can drive the spectacular mountain road over the shoulder of Ben Resipole and down to the beautiful Polloch, on the shores of inland Loch Shiel.
From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain's best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.
Reviews of Marine Cottage
"Fabulous cottage with great views, in an ideal location for exploring Ardnamurchan and visiting Mull. The property is very comfortable and well kitted out. We had visits from pine marten(s) most nights, saw sea eagles from front garden over far side of loch (with telescope) and otters nearby. Plenty of space for our party of four adults and two boys and would happily book again."

"Marine Cottage is fantastic, it a very comfortable, spacious and modern accommodation. It was good to have 3 big bathrooms to avoid queueing and the dining area was spacious enough to sit 8 people comfortably without squeezing. Great sitting area for socialising together. Location was perfect - just on the edge of Strontian but near enough to walk to superb restaurant, pub or a shop. A warm welcome from owners. The views were fabulous also. "

"We had a lovely stay in this fantastic cottage on the outskirts of Strontian overlooking Loch Sunart, beautiful views from all the windows. The house was beautifully clean tidy and warm with plenty of coal/logs for the stove. The owner had even lit the stove for our arrival.....a lovely welcome. The highlight of the cottage was the pinemartin who visited almost every night to eat the peanut butter we had put on the log store right outside the back door to entice him. The kitchen light and us with our noses pressed to the door didn't deter him. There are a couple of shops and cafes in the village for necessities. There's also a hotel/pub overlooking the bay. Fantastically positioned for touring the area, although be prepared for the very narrow roads!! Not much traffic though and plenty of passing places. We had a fantastic relaxing time and would love to return someday."
