Set in one of the most picturesque parts of Scotland, the Ardnamurchan peninsula, is Eilean Feoir in the little village of Portuairk. This cosy cottage benefits from panoramic views of the dramatic rocky coastline from its elevated position and has a great sandy beach just a stone’s throw from its driveway.

The house’s name means ‘grass island’ in Gaelic and it offers a wonderful mix of traditional charm and modern comforts. In the sitting room guests can enjoy the soothing glow of the multi-fuel stove from the cosiness of the sofa at the same time as admiring the gorgeous, ever-changing vista. The kitchen is well-equipped and laid out with the cooking and dining areas all in one and a handy utility room off it to neatly house the laundry facilities.

With the choice of two twin bedrooms and an en suite double bedroom, the accommodation is spacious and comfortable with beautiful sea views that can be seen from bed in two of the bedrooms. Although the house is laid out on one level inside, there are steps leading from the large parking area up to the door.

Picnic style seating has been set up outside, positioned in a prime spot for taking in the breathtaking outlook over Sanna Bay to the islands of Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna off in the distance. The wonderful dark skies overhead allow for star gazing and perhaps even experiencing the spectacle of the Aurora Borealis.

This is a wildlife lover’s paradise where otters can be spotted wandering along the seashore and golden and sea eagles can often be seen soaring in the skies above. Pine martens may well be tempted to visit by their favourite treat of peanut butter sandwiches and dolphins and even basking sharks can be spotted at sea.
