Accommodation Details

All ground floor. Two bedrooms: 1 x double, 1 x twin. Bathroom with roll-top bath, separate shower, basin and WC. Kitchen with dining area. Sitting room with woodburning stove.

This charming cottage nestles on a pretty hillside in the tiny village of Letterfearn, overlooking Loch Duich with views down the loch to the Five Sisters of Kintail. The elevated situation of the cottage is enhanced by the addition of a full length covered veranda from which the spectacular location can be truly appreciated in all weathers. With the spacious accommodation on one level there are two generously proportioned bedrooms, a twin room and a double room, which has doors leading out to its own private decked patio area. The well-equipped and sunny kitchen/dining room is simply ideal for those who wish to enjoy home-cooked meals together and the cosy sitting room with the woodburning stove is to be enjoyed after a busy and active day. With a mountainous backdrop and wonderful views to the front it will be hard to leave this perfect spot but close by there are an amazing amount of activities to be enjoyed. A short drive around the loch takes you to the much photographed Eilean Donan Castle which boasts a good restaurant and shop and the castle is open to the public for much of the year and well worth a visit. If castles interest you then cross the bridge to Skye and incorporate a visit to Dunvegan Castle during your tour around the magical island. For a more adventurous drive follow the hill road over Mam Ratagan and into the village of Glenelg. The road itself is a popular attraction with great viewpoints and during the summer months a small ferry crosses the Sound of Sleat to Skye which is a special crossing and perhaps more enjoyable than taking the bridge. A wonderful unspoilt area and a charming cottage to ensure a great holiday.

When we arrived we met Dave who showed us how to use the woodburner and other bits in the cottage. The views were amazing we had breakfast on the veranda every day as it was so beautiful. We saw Otters in the lock just down the rd. The badger and pine Martin came to say hello every night peanut butter and jam sandwich seems to go down well with them. Just up the rd is a seal colony they lay on the rocks quite happily. With Sky just up the rd theres so much to do. We were there ten days and didnt get to do half as much as we wanted to. Will try to get back there soon. Dave and Linda are amazing ppl so lovely to talk to and looked after us while we were there being at the end of the phone if we needed anything. If your looking for peace and quiet with nature at ur feet with all the comfort you need go here you want be sorry.

What can I say,.. what a wonderful little cottage with amazing views. We were met on our arrival by Dave, he showed us how to work the wood burner heating system, and was very helpful showing us around, the cottage was lovely and clean and has everything you need for a self catering holiday, Linda had already contacted me by text to give directions and advised to bring a few food items as the nearest shop was a wee drive away. The cottage is cosy and comfortable and Dave told us about our possible visitors, my kids (age 11 and 14) were very excited in the hope we might see some wildlife. We left out some fruit and bread and true enough on our 1st night we had 3 little field mice and Bobby the Badger!, on our 2nd night Bobby and the mice came back then on our 3rd night they were joined by a Pine Martin and also 2 deer we had at least one visitor every night which was a great treat as none of us had seen these animals up close in the wild before, it was amazing to sit on the veranda and watch them, they were not phased by us at all. Our weather was fantastic we only had one day of rain, and on that evening we sat under our cosy blankets on the veranda listening to the rain thundering off the roof, it was amazing. Dave has done a great job adding the veranda to the property it was well used by us sitting out every night under the stars with a glass of wine a truly relaxing place. The surrounding area has so much to see, we took a walk from the cottage to Caisteal Grugaig (Dun Totaig) Broch , it took us around and hour and what a view from the top, you pass a great tree swing on the way which the kids loved. We spent our evenings skimming stones on Loch Duich with Eilean Donan Castle lit up across the water. We travelled to Skye to visit the Fairy Pools, Having been there years ago it is much more widely known and was a bit of a disappointment to us as it was so busy!! still nice to see if you have never been but parking is expensive at £5 per car unless you park up the hill a bit and walk in which we did. We also visited Plockton which is beautiful with its palm trees and beautiful harbour, we ate at the Plockton Hotel outside due to the Covid restrictions but as long as you've got the right cosy gear on you'll be fine! We also took a drive up to Carr Brae Viewpoint where you can see Druidaig Cottage from across the water, and we walked the Lochalsh Woodland Walks in Balmacara a beautiful walk to the shore and through the sunken garden at the Estate House. I cannot fault Druidaig Cottage or the surrounding area in any way, Dave kept us stocked up with wood for the burner and Linda communicated all we needed to know they were always on hand should we need anything. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return some time in the future.... thank you Dave and Linda for sharing this beautiful place. Aynsley Scot Rory & Arwen.. Fife

Well what can I say we don't want to leave,the cottage is lovely and remote just what we wanted for a peaceful break away and to celebrate a birthday. The cottage has everything you need and you are truly spoilt in Scotland as there are so many beautiful places to see and you don't have to travel hours to see them. If walking is your thing then Scotland is the place to be. Dave the owner is lovely and is only a phone call away if you need anything. The cottage is like a home from home and we couldn't have asked for anywhere better to stay. On a winter night the log fire is lovely and cosy. Every evening you see wildlife including rare pine Martin's and badgers and both will eat if you leave food out. It is amazing to see! As stated previously there is no Wi-Fi but we did not miss this, it was refreshing to get away from the rat race and enjoy the scenery and all the amazing things on the doorstep. Thank you so much for the stay and we are already planning our return.

We stayed here in August 2018 - 2 adults, 2 children (aged 3 years, and 3 months) - very remote but beautiful location with everything you'd need in a property, with the possible exception of WiFi for the young children to access games and videos when parents are trying to have a lie in or just need 20 minutes peace and quiet! Everything else brilliant. Highly recommended, loads to do in the area. Wildlife visiting the property each evening for feeding was a real highlight.

This cottage is built up on a hill overlooking Loch Duich. Sitting on the wrap round veranda taking in the views was absolutely breathtaking. Evening walks along the single track road at the side of the loch with the dog watching seals play in the loch was a daily occurrence. Second to last property in Leterfearn so nice and secluded. Dave the owner couldn't have been more helpful. Red deer come down from the hills at night to eat the grass in front of the cottage, saw pine martins on the veranda. Was going to keep this little gem quiet but that would be selfish, I will,definitely be back.

A beautiful cottage in a lovely situation. The cottage was spacious, comfortable and warm. Right opposite Eilean Donan castle with views to the 5 Sisters of Kintail and on 6000 acres of walkable hills. Loved it!

I loved the location of the Cottage and the stunning mountain views. The Cottage was a great base from which to explore the surrounding area. It was comfortable and relaxing.

We stayed at Druidaig cottage in May half term - family holiday with two children (7 and 5). The owners couldn't have been more friendly and helpful and we were blessed with wall to wall sunshine for the whole week. We absolutely loved everything about the cottage, amazing surroundings and scenery. The kids loved the great outdoors and spent the whole time playing in the gardens, the loch side and going for many walks nearby. A special treat was seeing the porpoise in Loch Duich one morning from the balcony. Binoculars are a must and I spent a large part of the holiday peering through mine. No internet or wifi signal which is exactly what we wanted - excellent. If you want it then a phone signal works fine. Absolutely idyllic and we had an amazing time.

Druidaig cottage is in an amazing location overlooking Loch Druich and with mountain views, the perfect place to 'get away from it all.' The cottage has everything you need, was spotlessly clean and had comfortable beds.

Rated by Mrs White reviewed on 28th June 2016

We had a very friendly welcome from the owners. The property is a sympathetically restored traditional highland cottage which is unspoilt by sensitive development. A very well equipped cottage in a fantastic location with beautiful views and scenery. The veranda makes a great place to sit and make the most of the views and eat breakfast/meals. A lovely loch side cottage with great opportunities for seeing wildlife.

Rated by Mrs Jacques reviewed on 12th June 2016

We have just returned from a week at Druidaig cottage and we have enjoyed a wonderful sunny week in this traditional highland cottage which has been sympathetically restored and is unspoilt, sitting perfectly in its beautiful and peaceful lochside location. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable and the veranda is a great place to sit and enjoy breakfast and evenings enjoying the stunning views towards the 5 Sisters of Kintail. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and want you to enjoy your stay. The cottage is well placed for exploring the area including Wester Ross and Isle of Skye and for walking in the highlands. A great cottage which we highly recommend.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Druidaig Cottage. The owner couldn't do more to help and we had a fantastic time. The views across Loch Duich towards the Five Sisters of Kintail are something you'll never tire of looking at and we were spoilt with wall to wall sunshine for the whole of our stay. If you are looking for an isolated, get away from it all break with amazing views and some fantastic walking then I can't recommend it highly enough.
