Otters Retreat is an apartment where we operate "Managed" Bed & Breakfast. The Bed & Breakfast apartment for 2 people, is within our mountain view home. It is very private with its own access and offers the space, privacy and luxury not often found in a B & B. The apartment is on the lower ground floor at the rear of the house, here in Big Sand. For your stay, we provide a very generous selection of continental breakfast items, which you can prepare yourself in the privacy of your own apartment, when-ever you wish! For weekly stays in 2024 we provide a welcome hamper which includes Wine or Champagne. Your apartment has everything you need for the perfect holiday. It has its own sitting room with large screen tv, which includes Netflix etc. There are books and a selection of board games for the rainy days. It offers a shower-room and also a washing machine. Well equipped kitchen.. Integral and linked smoke alarms throughout the whole property including our space upstairs. During the summer there are plenty of places to eat out, the nearest just a short walk via the beach. The whole apartment is very comfortable with central heating. Outside there is a table and chairs for summer evenings by the burn, where an otter is sometimes spotted. NEW FOR 2024 - BOOT AND DRYING ROOM annexed to the main house.
Go to our website at dotcom for a lot more information and reduced rate offers. Otters Retreat is a lovely spacious Apartment for 2. You have a private entrance at the rear of our home.

We are just a few minutes walk from the beach, one mile from nearest shop, bar, restaurant, take-away, and 4 miles from Gairloch which has a pharmacy, supermarket, farm shop, fish and chip shop, tourist information, coffee shop, bars and hotels and museum. You can book all kinds of trips to see dolphins, whales and the famous Inverewe Gardens are a short drive away. The beach is very clean and safe, and the sea ideal for kayaking, wild swimming, sailboarding, paddle boarding, windsurfing.
