The Loan: A Tranquil Fisherman’s Cottage Retreat in Achiltibuie

Welcome to The Loan, a charming traditional fisherman’s cottage nestled in the peaceful village of Achiltibuie, located in the stunning Wester Ross region of the Scottish Highlands. Our home offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, carefully preserved by the owner, Nick, to maintain its original character without over-modernizing. Whether you’re exploring the breathtaking beaches, hills, lochs, or scenic walking trails, The Loan provides the perfect spot to relax and unwind.

Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by a spacious porch that leads into a cozy living room adorned with original wood paneling. To your right, you’ll find a quiet study, perfect for reading or writing. The fully-equipped kitchen features a traditional oil-fired range, while the adjoining sunroom brings in natural light and serene views of the surrounding landscape.

Upstairs, you’ll discover two comfortable bedrooms—one double and one twin—along with a large bathroom at the back of the house. With access to the entire property, you’ll feel right at home as you enjoy the rustic charm of this peaceful retreat.
