ABOUT GABLES HOLIDAY COTTAGE, WESTER ROSS

Set on the coast of Polbain overlooking the sea, Summer Isles and Minch, Gables Holiday Cottage Wester Ross is a stunning location in a wonderful environment. The Coigach Peninsula has been lived and worked for thousands of years - there are settlements here from Pictish and Viking influences, and there has been a crofting community working the land for generations. Our own family have been part of the community for many generations and we live and work here still today. Part of our work is offering visitors accommodation for them to come and share our lovely home and community and we take pride in providing a good quality and friendly service and reception that will make you want to return year after year. Rooms can be made up as twin single beds or one superking bed. The cottage is very cosy, with central heating and an open fire to enjoy. The views out to the Summer Isles and Torridon mountains are wonderful, or relax in the hammock in the large enclosed garden.

We have stayed at The Gables on four occasions now, and already have a couple of weeks booked for 2024! Everything about the cottage is perfect, from location, views, furnishing, comfort and service (thank you Linda). A wonderful base for idyllic holidays in Polbain and the Coigach Peninsula. I can strongly recommend a stay here. Enjoy!! (Our dogs absolutely love the place too!!)

Lovely 2 weeks in Aug 2023. Immaculately clean, well-equipped and comfortable cottage with a large garden and stunning views across the Summer Isles. The owner was friendly, welcoming, and helpful, without ever being intrusive. We would return without hesitation (if it's not already booked up!)

Absolutely 5 stars, and recommended. Cannot fault the property, or the owners who have gone above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Dog friendly. And the view is second to none.

Just back from there. Immaculately clean throughout and a well-furnished kitchen. If you contact the locale store in Achilitibuie, which we did, they can arrange to deliver food before you arrive - and it was so nice to come to the end of our drive up and find the wine chilling in the fridge and the shelves full of local produce. In terms of 21st C appliances each room has ample power sockets so there's no fighting over who gets to recharge what first as can happen on holidays! Internet was faster than expected for the area, and the cottage is well covered by wifi though in the farthest bedroom from the router the signal does drop a bit in strength. Television picture too was clear, and used occasionally when the weather obscured the view from the windows out across the bay. Central heating throughout so no matter the winds blowing outside the interior remains comfortable. There's a great view covering a few of the Summer Isles and the building itself is distant enough from the nearest neighbour for the quiet only to be broken by sheep and cows in the nearby fields. I can't recommend it highly enough.

The accommodation at Gables Cottage is excellent with lovely views over the Summer Isles. The setting is delightful with lots of interesting places to visit, nice walks, and great if you are the outdoors type and want to get away from it all. The Wee Mad Road nearby is a wonderful drive, and the beach at Achmelvich beautiful.Dont forget the Pie Shop at Lochinver!
