In the Highlands of Scotland lies Applecross Peninsula, which boasts some of the most stunning scenery in the world. From scenic walks, adventurous cycling routes and sandy beaches to explore, theres so much to discover around the peninsula.

Theres plenty of wildlife to find across Applecross. From the Highland Cows, Stags & Pine Martens to the Sea Otters, Seals and occasionally whales! There are also some great spots for birdwatching in the area with the different seasons bringing many migrating birds to our shores such as eider ducks, divers and snipe. There may even be a glimpse of a golden eagle soaring high above the rocky crags of the Applecross hills.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Truly, a hidden gem. We loved our stay. Room was fabulous, breakfast was delish and Moray & Marion were so friendly and kind. Marion suggested places to see and we ran out of time. The weather was also very kind. It such a special place. Thank you both.

Marion gibt viele Tipps für die Erkundung der Gegend und das Frühstück ist sehr lecker. Alles wird frisch zubereitet und auf persönliche Wünsche wird eingegangen. Die Zimmer sind sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet. Außerdem gibt es Baummarder, die jeden Morgen die Terrasse besuchen.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Die Zimmer sind schön und wie beschrieben. Marion kümmert sich super um Ihre Gäste. Und die Pine Martens sind natürlich der Hit! Einziges kleines Manko ist, dass das Haus obwohl es Applecross B&B heißt doch deutlich vom "Ort" entfernt ist und man zum Essen immer fahren muss.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment we arrived, we knew this was something special. The cabin sat quietly among the rolling hills, with the ocean glistening in the distance and the soft sound of wind in the heather. Inside, it was warm and welcoming, homemade shortbreads awaiting us — a place where you instantly relax. Our host greeted us with genuine kindness, the sort that makes you feel more like a friend than a guest. We explored, we lingered, we breathed in the Highlands… and we both agreed: this is the best place we’ve stayed in Scotland. We’ll be back, without question.
