About aird cottage
badachro
The village of Badachro, surrounding the sheltered anchorage of Badachro Bay on Gairloch’s southern shore, is one of the most picturesque in the Highlands and it makes a fantastic base for a get-away-from-it-all holiday.
about aird cottage
Aird Cottage is perched on a grassy terrace on the high headland forming the north side of Badachro Bay. From its extensive and very private and secluded garden, you can sit in peace and tranquillity while watching boats come and go on the sea below and village life on the Bay’s southern shore opposite, the awe-inspiring Wester Ross hills providing an ever-present backdrop beyond.
Originally a 4-room cottage in which two families lived either side of a common front door and stair, the property has been extended and modernised over the decades to meet modern tastes without losing any of its original charm.
