The Surrounding Area

Wild, and beautifully remote

Reached by the legendary Bealach na Bà mountain pass or the winding coastal road, Applecross rewards you with white-sand and red-golden beaches, hidden coral bays, and the celebrated Applecross Inn for freshly landed langoustine, crab and scallop.

Our Passion Project

Three years, a labour of love

Over the past three years my husband and I have poured our hearts into restoring Seal Rock Cottage, handcrafting every detail into a warm, stylish and cosy seaside retreat. We couldn't be happier to finally open the doors and share this peaceful slice of West Highland coast with you.
