Tigh a Bhradan (pronounced Tie a Vradan, meaning the Salmon House) is a delightful terraced cottage right on the shore in the equally delightful village of Applecross, which is situated on Scotland's lovely west coast directly opposite Skye and Raasay.

In olden times, everything had to come into Applecross by sea, but now you can drive there over the spectacular Pass of the Cattle or take the equally 'scenic route' round the coast along the shores of Loch Torridon and the Inner Sound.

Sitting next door to The Old Post Office and with splendid views of Skye and Raasay either from the front windows or the little private garden (with furniture) right on the sea shore, Tigh a Bhradan has recently been completely refurbished by its owners to make a warm and comfortable holiday home with the added benefit of being very close to the village pub that serves famous bar meals.

Inside the cottage is inviting and full of charm. There is a snug and cosy sitting room with smart, comfortable seating around the TV. The heart of the house is undoubtedly the large, bright and very well-equipped dining kitchen with its stylish colourful tiling. It is the perfect place for relaxed family meals and has the added bonus that the cook doesn’t have to miss out on all the fun. It is kept cosy by the wood-burning stove and there is even a seat alongside so you can toast your toes after a day spent out and about exploring.

From there a turning pine staircase leads up to the two bedrooms with their coombed ceilings and dormer windows from which to admire the views. A neat family bathroom completes the accommodation.
