A charming self-catering holiday cottage, in the coastal village of Badachro, near Gairloch in the Highlands of Scotland. Aird Cottage is a traditional highland cottage home set in over an acre of mature woodland and lawns with access to the shore.

Over the last six decades, four generations of the same family have shared this unique setting in the Highlands of Scotland, with its unforgettable views over Badachro Bay, the Flowerdale Hills, and on to distant Slioch and the Torridon Mountains.

Available for self-catering holidays, it is a perfect base for exploring the stunning West Coast countryside, with almost limitless hillwalking, breathtaking beaches, and loch and sea fishing all within easy reach. With four bedrooms, Aird Cottage sleeps eight, although for comfort's sake in the sitting room, six adults is really the maximum. It is furnished traditionally, so if you are looking for a matching three piece suite, and Ikea-style minimalism, then it is probably not for you. But it is comfortable, and even if the weather is unkind, there is a cosy open fire to curl up in front of, with a good book or a game.

If you have children, it is ideal. Two generations of children, numbering 33 in all, have burned off energy, roaring around the big garden, with plenty of scope for den making. The two attic bedrooms, with their sloping ceilings, are always popular with younger visitors.

Cars can be parked in the cottage's own car park off the road, and the cottage is approached down a steepish footpath through the trees to the garden. The path is not suitable for wheelchairs or people who are cannot walk easily.

Whether you are looking for an active summer break, or a snug bolthole for Christmas or Hogmanay, Aird Cottage will fit the bill.
