A return visit (and plan to come again). Extremely well equipped and comfortable cottage - we wanted for nothing (except perhaps for the sun to have shone a bit more in the 2nd week!). Clean and very comfortable. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful week in this property, the views from the lounge were amazing and the house was very comfortable, the equipment was outstanding with everything you would want and more. The only thing that let it down was the cleaning but maybe we are a bit pernickety

We loved our stay at The Beacon, despite four days of storms, there is nowhere better to be holed up and forced to rest. The location is superb, and on the days that we were able to get out we didnt have to go far to find stunning places to visit. We choose to visit the Scottish Highlands in January because it is more of an adventure than at any otRead moreher time of year, and we would happily use The Beacon again as our base. Hide

The Beacon was family friendly, spotless, warm and very well equipped, especially the kitchen. It has games, books and lots of dvds should you have a wet cold day when you want to hide away. Its brilliantly located on the NC500, so you can explore some of the route and have a local shop and petrol station in Scourie. Some beautiful bays and beachesRead more to drive to, highland deer to spot when youre driving anywhere and you can walk down into Scourie if you want to stay out of the car. We loved it. Hide

A stunning location with beautiful views from the lounge and decking. The sunsets were glorious as were the Northern Lights (two consecutive nights). Scourie is ideally located for visiting lots of locations in the northwest and a sandy bay for sheltered swimming almost on the doorstep. Highly recommended!
