Shieldaig is a 5 star village only 90 minutes
from Inverness (single track the last 30 mins). A hidden
gem in the Highlands, with a truly spectacular location
nestled amongst the Munro's, sitting right on the West Coast.
A perfect base (with shop & pub - open all year) for
exploring the Applecross peninsular, Beinn Eighe National
Nature Reserve, Eilean Donan Castle, Plockton, Inverewe
Gardens, Glen Elg and the rest of Wester Ross.
At the top of a 4 star Visit Scotland award,
the emphasis here is on thoughtful, consistent comfort &
quality throughout. Be that the very comfortable inviting
large beds, relaxing guest lounge, hand made soap or the
locally sourced, fresh cooked breakfasts. Sustainability
is a key part of our philosophy, recognised in Sawday's
ethical collection, with a Gold Green Tourism Business Scheme
award and a Highlands & Islands Tourism Award "Green"
category in 2010.
The house has a restful contemporary decor with tasteful art & crafts - much local. All 3 guest bedrooms are ensuite with king or superking sized (zip & link) beds and have mountain & sea views. Meals are in the architect designed, floor to ceiling glazed dining room with its communal table, where you can enjoy good company, the island view & maybe catch a glimpse of the white-tailed sea-eagles or pine marten.
Guest facilities include wireless internet
access, drying room, mini library - local books, laptop
with broadband access, folders of walks and bikes for loan.
The 1st floor guest living room has a panoramic view with
a large TV, DVD collection & wood burner for wet days.
Great care is taken to ensure guests enjoy the area with
daily detailed weather forecasts and judicious help selecting
activities.
We are low allergen, non-smoking, do not

to phone on the day (10am is a good time) to check availability
as we do not take 1 night only advanced bookings.
