The Old School
For four, with two bedrooms, firewood and room for the dog.
The Old School is a white, single-storey cottage for four on the bay at Camasnacroise, on the Kingairloch Estate on the shore of Loch Linnhe near Ardgour.
Its garden is walled in stone, and an iron gate in the wall opens straight onto the shore. Inside there's an open living room, dining area and kitchen, with a cream wood-burning stove and leather sofas, and it sleeps four in a double with its own bathroom and a twin, with a second bathroom besides. There's a deck with a table out front, and a washing machine and tumble dryer for muddy days. One guest summed it up as otters in the bay, stags on the lawn and eagles overhead. Up to two dogs are welcome.
