The Sheilings Holidays

This cosy 2-bedroom caravan is on a private site in a quiet crofting community at Achgarve, Laide, near Gairloch on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands. From here you can explore the beaches and mountains of Wester Ross. Ideal for walking, birdwatching, whale watching trips, pony-trekking, golf, fishing, sailing, cycling.

Our spacious caravan for 4 people overlooks beautiful mountains and is just 10 minutes walk from the sea. The accommodation consists of 2 bedrooms (1 double & 1 twin), bathroom (toilet, shower and wash basin), and a well-fitted kitchen/living area. The original caravan has been modernised, extended and well insulated.

The Sheiling Holidays (comprising B&B, self catering and caravan) are situated 16 miles north of Gairloch and 44 miles from Ullapool. A wide range of meals is available in cafes and restaurants in the local area where you can sample fresh seafood and game. The village of Laide (2 miles away) has a licenced grocery shop.

The caravan is ideal for relaxing holidays to "get away from it all". You may wish to use it as a base to discover the scenery and wildlife of Wester Ross. There are a variety of walking opportunities in the hills and on the sandy beaches. You can take a boat trip to spot whales, dolphins, seals and seabirds. There are also many Highland craft workshops to visit as part of the "Arts and Eats Trail", as well as museums at Gairloch and Ullapool. The famous Inverewe Garden draws many visitors with its sub-tropical plantations which flourish thanks to the Gulf Stream. On clear nights in spring and autumn, you may be lucky enough to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) thanks to our "dark skies".

We are not far the route of the popular North Coast 500 (also known as Scotland's answer to Route 66) which is a 500 mile circuit around the northern Highlands.
