Loch Broom Longhouse – Highland Retreat with Easy Mobility Access

Set amidst the untamed beauty of the Scottish Highlands, this stunning open-plan longhouse sits on a peaceful, secluded two-acre property just 13 miles from Ullapool, on the south shore of Loch Broom. Only a five-minute walk from the water’s edge, the house offers a unique blend of comfort, creativity, and wilderness—ideal for those seeking a truly authentic Highland experience.

Tastefully decorated and filled with original artwork—from paintings and textiles to ceramics—this spacious home has been thoughtfully designed to inspire. Whether you’re an avid walker, writer, painter, or reader, the setting offers both rugged scenery and tranquil solitude. The house also boasts an extensive private library, perfect for quiet days spent indoors.

The idyllic shoreline and Loggie Bay are just a short walk away, offering stunning views across the loch to Ullapool. Visitors can enjoy sailing, kayaking, or cold-water swimming in this scenic coastal environment. The property is part of a working boatyard owned by a traditional wooden boatbuilder who lives on-site in a 150-year-old croft house. A resident painter’s studio is also located on the land, further enriching the artistic character of the space. The land has been intentionally preserved to maintain its natural wildness, attracting a wide variety of birds and regular visits from local deer.

Inside, the longhouse is warm, bright, and inviting. Underfloor heating runs throughout the open-plan living and kitchen area, making it cosy year-round. The house is well-suited to guests with mobility considerations, featuring level access and a fully accessible wet room. There are three private bedrooms: a ground floor king-size bedroom with an en-suite, a flexible twin bedroom (which can be made up as a king), and a smaller double bedroom located upstairs. A second wet room serves the remaining bedrooms.

Upstairs, guests will find a delightful studio-style sitting area—a peaceful spot to enjoy a film, complete a jigsaw, or simply watch the stars through the skylight. The property is at the end of a private, unmade track, offering complete seclusion and ample parking for up to four vehicles.

The kitchen is well-equipped with a four-ring electric cooker, oven, grill, microwave, coffee maker, kettle, toaster, and dishwasher. A washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing facilities, high chair, and travel cot are also provided. Entertainment is available via a DVD player (with a selection of DVDs), a CD player with Bluetooth connectivity, board games, and even Lego for younger guests.

Luxury towels and bed linens are included, and well-behaved animals are warmly welcomed.
