Riverside Cottage
Location: Poolewe
Sleeps: 4 | Sorry No Pets | Non Smoking | Map
Riverside Cottage is an old detached cottage situated right in the centre of Poolewe, in a very picturesque spot overlooking the River Ewe, so combines both lovely views of the river and the convenience of amenities close by.
Poolewe is a very pretty village and has a shop/Post Office, a hotel/bar, café, indoor swimming pool and a village hall, which hosts a weekly market. The cottage is ideally situated for walking, there being many excellent walks close by, and there are many sandy beaches within a short drive. From the door it is possible to walk along the river and up into the hills. The world famous Inverewe Gardens are only 10 minutes walk away and the River Ewe is one of the best salmon fishing rivers in the area. Gairloch, the nearest small town, is only 6 miles away and there you will find more shops, restaurants and hotels. From Gairloch pier, fishing and wildlife cruises can be arranged and there is also a golf course and pony trekking centre.
