Welcome to your home from home in Barcaldine. We hope you enjoy your stay!
Thistle Haugh is a comfy house on a sunny site at the edge of the wood. Watch the birds, squirrels, deer and if you are lucky the pine marten. It’s the perfect spot to relax, unwind and enjoy nature or to use as a base for exploring the wild beauty of Scotland’s west coast.
We are 1km from the shore of Loch Creran and are surrounded by fantastic woodland walking trails with spectacular views. You can even take on the local Munros if you enjoy heading upward.
The route 78 cycle path passes close by and gives access to Tralee, the local Sandy beach, local cafes and the world famous pink shop in one direction and Creagan Inn, the local pub is a 15 minute cycle in the other.
Good cycle storage in the shed too.
Thistle Haugh is an excellent base for exploring the coast by car and ferry. Loch Ness, The Isle of Skye, Iona, Staffa and the Mull of Kintyre can all be enjoyed on a day trip from the house.
After an active day out, come back, enjoy a glass or two of your favourite tipple, wind down in the hot tub, have a bbq and relax on the patio.
The open plan living/kitchen area has plenty of space and all the amenities you should need. Electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher, kettle, toaster and countertop grill in the kitchen. TV(free sat), WI-FI and table top games can be enjoyed in the lounge area.
