General

Harbour House is an attractive south facing property situated in the popular village of Gairloch on the West Coast of Scotland. The house lies opposite the pier and harbour, from where fishermen will sell their catch direct from their boats, and beyond which there are delightful views to the Shieldaig Peninsula and the Torridon Mountains. Harbour House, which was built about 9 years ago, was formerly run as a B&B and continues to be ideal for this purpose with its comfortable and well appointed interior and easily accessible location.

The West Coast of Scotland is famous for its mild climate and stunning coastline with sheltered sandy beaches and island views. The unspoilt countryside and traditional communities make this area popular with those seeking a change of lifestyle or a second home and The Harbour House is an excellent base from which to enjoy this region. Gairloch is made up of all the settlements around Loch Gair from Red Point in the southwest, with its beautiful sandy beach, to Rua Reidh Lighthouse in the north. The village itself has a good range of amenities including two small supermarkets, a bank, post office and schooling up to secondary level, while golf, walking and water sports can all be enjoyed directly from the house. Further along the coast are the NTS Inverewe Gardens while inland, mountains and moorlands offer spectacular scenery, hill walking and climbing. Inverness is just over an hour’s drive away and has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the South.
