Taigh na Carr Letterfearn Sleeps up to 4 persons Available from £1200 per week By the sea Luxury Accommodation Pet-Free Has a real fireplace WiFi available Details Taigh na Carr nestles at the bottom of a hill on the south shore of Loch Duich in the North West Highlands, one of the most dramatic and stunningly beautiful mountainous areas of Scotland. The startling beauty of the area is reflected and matched in the creation of this architecturally fascinating house. Hugely spacious, light and airy, built mainly with glass, wood and local stone, the house offers fantastic views across the loch, with the Five Sisters of Kintail mountains just beyond - tempting you to explore. During your stay you may be lucky enough to spot the resident Letterfearn otters or porpoises from the bay just across the lane. Golden and White Tailed sea eagles soar overhead and deer graze the hillside behind. However, you may very well be enthralled by the visitors to the deck - a badger and a pine marten. Turn out the lights after dusk and leave out a small plate of chopped apples and a mixture of nuts/honey or peanut butter, keep a low profile inside and you may very well find yourself up close and personal to either of these beautiful creatures! We hope the images speak for themselves, but Taigh na Carr is a truly breathtaking house and location. For hill walkers, runners, kayakers, wild swimmers it couldn't be better. Mountains can be accessed almost from the house, the loch is immediately below the house and the quiet single track road along the lochside is a joggers dream. Return to the house and immediately inside you have the huge double shower room or alternatively luxuriate in the large oval bath in the king en suite room. This is an eco house in many aspects but in particular the heating arrangement. An air source heat pump powers the underfloor heating but the clever arrangement of a solar heated stairwell and sliding internal windows circulates the warm air from below up to the upper floor. Solar gain glass and substantial air sealed doors ensure comfort year round. Eco cleaning products are used throughout the house. Clean lines and eco living characterise Taigh na Carr. The top-lit dining/kitchen areas sit below a mezzanine floor which accommodates 2 spacious en suite bedrooms, one king size bedroom and one superking/twin bedroom. The ground floor is large and glassed on 3 sides allowing maximum light throughout the day and year and offers views to the iconic Eilean Donan Castle in the distance. This is a truly special house in a truly special location, which, if you do not already know, is second to none for Highland magnificence.
