SeaView Grazings are excellent log cabins (made from solid whole Scandinavian pines) with a magnificent situation some 20 miles south-west of Fort William near the village of Strontian (hotels, few shops, bistro) en route to the Ardnamurchan peninsula which is the most westerly part of Scotland and an escapist's paradise.
Recently refurbished, well equipped and double-glazed, they are superbly situated, dotted about the hillside and well secluded from each other above and at the head of Loch Sunart. They have stunning views onto this sea loch and the rugged mountain scenery beyond and are easily reached from Onich via the Corran Ferry.
This is a superb place to relax and do as little or as much as you want. Walkers will doubtless head for the hills - Ben Resipol is the nearest peak - while others may prefer gentler strolls through the woods on the shores of the loch. Fishing is available locally, there are boat trips from Acharacle, sandy beaches and secluded coves at Sanna at the end of the peninisula, or visit the Stevenson lighthouse at Arnamurchan Point.
If you turn right at Salen you can carry on up to Mallaig past the silver sands of Morar and the incomparable views of Rum and Eigg from Arisaig. There is an excellent golf course there at Traigh (the name means Shore which says it all). From Mallaig, you can catch the ferry over to Skye - the crossing only takes half an hour. Just over half an hour's drive from Strontian you can be in Lochaline, where yet another half hour will whisk you across on the little ferry to Fishnish on Mull.
Or if you want a bit of urban bustle, you can soon be in Fort William (24 miles via the Corran Ferry), shopping, catching the West Highland Line steam train to Mallaig, swimming at the leisure centre, climbing Ben Nevis or, in winter, ski-ing at Aonach Mhor.
Heating by electricity and central-heating is INCLUDED from April to October. Bed-linen and towels are INCLUDED. Pets are welcome.
