The Drift Shepherd's Hut - UKC6878
The Drift, Shepherd’s Hut is a bijou handcrafted shepherd’s hut situated in a stunning location with incredible views across the sea.. 4 steps to entrance.
All on the Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: Freeview TV, DVD Player, Electric Fire
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge
Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed
Shower Room: Shower, Toilet. Electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Welcome pack. Gravelled patio with garden furniture. 1 dog welcome, to be kept on a lead at all times (sheep country). Private parking for 1 car, bottom of access road. No smoking. Please note: Access to the property is by rough track.. The Drift, Shepherd’s Hut has been inspired by a traditional, original design, and has been cleverly conceived by the owners to provide every amenity in a small but beautifully contained space. Perched on the hillside above Skye and the Outer Hebrides, in its own croft land setting, it provides warm, cosy, peaceful accommodation in a totally undisturbed setting. Ideal for couples and singles who truly want to get away from it all. The living, dining, kitchen and bedroom areas are all heated by a cosy wood burner, and the wet room completes this lovely shepherds hut.
The renowned west coast village of Gairloch is just a short 5-mile drive away, which has an excellent selection of amenities, including a good selection of shops, small supermarket, restaurants, bars and cafes. Fishing and sightseeing boat trips run from Gairloch throughout the season, along with hill-walking, climbing, sailing, kayaking all available locally. There are wonderful walks direct from the hut, along with numerous spectacular sandy beaches all along this unspoilt coastline. There are many places to visit, including the Inverewe Gardens near Poolewe, Loch Maree and the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve near Kinlochewe, and to the south, Torridon and the outstanding mountain scenery in this area as well as the pretty village of Lochcarron. A trip to Ullapool is within a day trip from Gairloch and you will pass several highland villages and crofting communities along the way, including Poolewe, Aultbea, Laide, Camusnagaul, Dundonnell. Beach 170 yards.
