A beautiful well equipped house in a beautiful location. The weather was typically Scottish for us but it was a pleasure to be inside this lovely home from home. The covered balcony is stunning in all weathers. We did some lovely walks in the area and we didnt have to venture far to find splendid isolation. We really hope to be back.

A lovely well appointed house in a peaceful location. Having the three double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms was a luxury. Badachro is midway between Gairloch and Red Point so only about a 15 min drive or a gorgeous cycle to each.

Two Anchors was lovely property to stay in. Great views from the balcony and living room to Gairloch and was an ideal location for exploring Wester Ross. Red point beach, just down the road, was fantastic. From the house we saw Pine Martens with the background of cuckoos on the hills behind. Throughly enjoyable holiday.
