Our enchanting self-catering holiday cottages

Located in Badachro, arguably one of the most picturesque villages in Wester Ross, these two enchanting self-catering holiday cottages provide refreshingly high quality accommodation. They have an enviable position on Badachro Bay with sea and mountain views that are truly outstanding.

Each cottage offers contemporary holiday accommodation on 2 levels, with one double and one twin bedroom. They are ideal for a couple, but can accommodate up to 4 adults*.

The cottages are semi-detached with separate entrances. They are easily accessed along a quiet, secluded road and have excellent, enclosed level parking.

Garden

To the front of the cottages is a shared enclosed south facing garden, from which the far reaching views can be enjoyed across the bay and also to the left as far as the mountains along side Loch Maree. The patio area has a large picnic table for each cottage.

There is a 'simple seat' at the end of the garden, to let you get closer to the spectacular view across the bay. An outdoor rotary clothes dryer is available for use in fine weather, as well as access to indoor drying facilities for when it is wet.

Outdoor bike storage racks for up to 4 bikes are provided and additional indoor storage may be available on request.

The cottages are south facing and in the summer are lovely and cosy as they are bathed in sun all day. In the winter, they retain their warmth well thanks to the very thick walls of this converted 'steading' building.

Culinary herbs

First introduced in 2009 and again to be available for the 2011 season, visitors to the cottages will have their own outdoor culinary herbs to use during their holiday.

These will have mostly be grown, organically from seed by Sue. The compost used for planting is a mix, containing some of Sue's home made compost. This has been made over the last 3-4 years from, amoungst other things, kitchen waste provided by previous holiday makers. If you have stayed at the cottages before, you can taste some of the results of your composting efforts. Recycling at its' very best!

A variety of herbs are grown as well as some edible flowers. These are subject to seasonal variation and our sometimes unpredictable weather conditions!

Eco-Friendly

We encourage guests to recycle whilst staying at the cottages. Containers are provided for the recycling of glass, tin, plastic,paper and cardboard. Composting caddys are also supplied for collection of compostable kitchen and household waste. The resulting compost produced is used on the owners garden and raised vegetable beds.

The cottages are supplied with electricity produced from environmentally friendly hydroelectric stations and we use energy saving bulbs, where possible. Care is taken when choosing replacement electrical appliances to ensure they are 'A' rated for energy efficiency. Environmental issues are always a priority during our refurbishments and upgrading of the cottages. We also supply (and use) environmentally friendly cleaning products in the cottages.

Whether you are seeking a base for the many outdoor activities in the area, or simply a tranquil place to relax and unwind, you will find Ceomara Highland Cottages a charming environment, ensuring your stay is a memorable one.
