Poolewe Beach House is a new build property completed in 2019, replacing an old barn formerly used to dry fishing nets. The house is disabled accessible with level floors throughout and accepts well behaved pets. Situated in the heart of Poolewe where the River Ewe meets the sea there's an abundance of wildlife that can be seen from the comfort of an armchair.
The house was built to ideally accommodate 2 families or a larger family gathering in comfort. With 3 of the bedrooms having huge windows overlooking the loch there can be no better view on a sunny morning. Underfloor heating throughout, all rooms are comfortably appointed to provide guests with every opportunity to unwind after a hard days exploring. With a shop/post office, coffee shop and swimming pool within a minutes walk, Poolewe Hotel directly opposite and the sea right outside, Poolewe Beach House caters for all ages even if you're having a lazy day. High speed broadband is also available although keeping the code from the children may be your biggest challenge of the holiday.
Poolewe is directly on the NC500 route and some incredible sights can be easily reached within an hours drive. There is however more than enough to explore locally and you'll need to keep your camera at the ready as jaw dropping views are round every corner. The National Trust for Scotland's, Inverewe Gardens has in recent years undergone a huge renovation, introduced red squirrels and is a 10 minute stroll away.
The area is fantastic for wildlife spotting. Red deer roam free, you'll have noticed that on the drive across from Inverness. Golden eagles and white tailed sea eagles are at the top of any visitor's spotting list and can, if you're lucky, be seen from the house. Herons and diving birds visit the shore daily, directly outside the house along with a family of otters. Seals often cruise quietly along the shore at the mouth of the river while whale watching trips can be taken from Gairloch.
The Northern Lights can, in the right conditions be see quite clearly from the house. The Northern Lights photographs on our 'Photos' page were taken from right outside, a night to remember! Due to the absence of light pollution the view of the stars and Milky Way is quite incredible.
It may be relaxation you're looking for but don't underestimate just how much is going on!
