Hebrides,
North
West Scotland. There are few places which can offer such unique
surroundings, wonderful panoramic views of the secluded bay, mountains,
seascape and uninhabited islands in East Loch Tarbert. The island
abounds in wildlife, a colony of seals can ofen be seen basking
on nearby rocks - this is therefore the perfect choice for naturalists,
birdwatchers, or for anyone seeking complete seclusion and tranquility.
Fishing
and boating may all be enjoyed - fishing for one rod is available
free of charge and the rod is provided. For young children there
is a lovely new playpark in the village, which also has a small
knitwear company, craft shops and a general store. Shops are only
half a mile away in the village.
The
bungalow is situated on a nine acre croft (belonging to the proprietor)
and permission is granted to occupants to enable them walk over
the croft and gain access to the beaches where seals/otters can
be viewed regulary on nearby rocks. The location is one of the
quietest spots on the island and there is an abundance of wildlife
in the area.
