Original stone built semi-detached crofter's cottages in a quiet secluded situation by the river Ewe, with spacious private grounds for you to relax and enjoy the uninterrupted views of the mountains and Loch Maree. The village of Poolewe is set amongst some of the most magnificent scenery in Britain. There are three hotels where meals are available, local shops and Post Office (with public phone), heated swimming pool and, not to forget, the famous Inverewe Tropical Gardens with self-service restaurant. Poolewe is a good base to get around by car, from the Bein Eighe Nature Reserve to the old fishing village of Ullapool, or by foot with many good walks and climbs. Several sandy beaches, fishing, golf, putting and boat trips are all close by.
