Lochside Cottages There are three Lochside Cottages which are situated on the edge of Lochbroom adjacent to Leckmelm Farm. The cottages were completely rebuilt in 2004 to provide the ultimate comfort from which you can enjoy armchair nature watching over the elemental waters of Loch Broom. Otters, porpoises, seals, dolphins, sheep and pigs are regularly spotted by visitors. The three cottages are terraced with private, secluded entrances, an access ramp for those with limited mobility and are on a single storey. Each cottage has excellent views over the Loch, No 3 looks towards the Fannichs, No 2 across the Loch to Loggie and No 1 westwards to Ullapool and the Summer Isles beyond. There are two bedrooms in each cottage, one with a double bed and the other with twin beds. In Lochside Number 2, there is a further single bed in the double room. Nos 1 and 3 both sleep four in a twin and double bedded room, with a bathroom with power shower, bath and WC. The open plan kitchen/diner and living room has a twin aspect view and takes in the best of the views and the sun. No 2 has sleeps up to six with a double and two twin rooms, the double has an ensuite bathroom with shower and WC in addition to a full size bathroom and open plan kitchen/diner and living room. The cottages have solid chestnut wooden flooring throughout and have zone controlled underfloor heating which means that even in the deep mid winter snow you will feel warmth beneath your feet. Of course there is an open fire to provide a focal point to the sitting room and extra warmth if required. The cottages are equipped to a three star standard throughout with a kitchen containing all basic equipment, sofas, armchairs, TV and books to read. There is a dining table with chairs in each cottage as well as outdoor garden furniture for eating in the summer months. Adjacent to the cottages is the old walled garden of Leckmelm House an area of peace and tranquillity suitable for yoga or tai chi practice. The sea shore walks from the door of your cottage are enjoyed by dogs and humans alike. Especially suitable for children who like to beachcomb and visit the farm yard animals. If you have your own boat or canoe it is possible to launch it from the Seventeenth Century pier at Leckmelm Bay. If you are looking for somewhere to get away from it all and a place to enjoy the elemental landscape of the hills winter or summer these are the cottages for you. The only sounds you will hear are those of the waves lapping at the shore.
