Bothan Buie – What’s Nearby

Gairloch is a great spot for exploring the gorgeous West Coast of Scotland. Gairloch itself has plenty of interesting spots. It has a number of lovely sandy beaches dotted around the area and lots of great walks to enjoy too.

Gairloch has an award-winning museum, along with a fabulous community centre which hosts local events, and markets and has a great dog-friendly cafe in it too. The GALE centre is a favourite stop when in the area.

There are a number of cafes and restaurants to explore too.

Close to Gairloch is the gorgeous National Trust for Scotland Inverewe Gardens. These gardens are warmed by the Gulf Stream and as a result, are home to plants that you would not necessarily expect to find in this part of Scotland. Check out my review of Inverewe Gardens for lots of pictures, and all you need to know to plan your visit.

Poolewe is not too far away. This has a really interesting museum about the Arctic Convoys that passed through this area during WW2. There are also a number of old military structures in the area as well.

The coastline is spectacular heading North from Gairloch – Gruinard Bay is stunning and on a recent trip we got a great view of a sea eagle in this area too. Check out my road trip itinerary which focuses on Gairloch and shows plenty of photos of great spots to check out locally, including where to find the wild goats!

You can continue further North to the lovely town of Ullapool which has plenty of shops and cafes including the lovely Ceilidh Place which is a cafe and bookshop combined – heaven! This is an easy day trip from Gairloch.

Heading South and inland you can visit Beinn Eighe nature reserve which is lovely. There are a number of walking trails from the visitor centre.

So if you are looking for a great holiday with plenty of options for exploring, beaches, gardens and nature all around then Bothan Buie could be the perfect spot for you.

Highland Cottages with Hot Tubs

2. Mountain View

£577-£1055 per week

1 dog

Mountain View is very aptly named – you can see from the picture that you get a great view of mountains when sitting in the hot tub. In fact mountains surround this super cute and superbly equipped cabin.

The cabin is studio styled with a main living, dining, kitchen and sleeping room. This room features a zip and link bed which can be configured as two single beds or one super king bed.

The main room features a wood-burning stove meaning you can enjoy snuggling in front of the fire and then watch the flames die down from your bed – lovely.

This is definitely a holiday cabin so think kitchenette rather than a full kitchen. There are two lounging chairs and a Smart TV so you can enjoy your favourite shows while away.

Outside there is a barbecue and of course the all important hot tub with those amazing views.

Mountain View is located in Kinlochleven. Staying in this area means you are within easy reach of the gorgeousness of Glencoe, which has a great National Trust for Scotland visitor centre. You can easily reach Fort William and Ben Nevis and there is plenty of beautiful countryside to explore in the area too.

If you are looking for a cute cabin with lots of outdoor things to explore then Mountain View is a great option.

Highland Cottages with Hot Tubs

4. Old Fishing Station

£646- £911 per week

1 dog

1 double bedroom

PT Note;

I‘m lucky enough to have visited Dry Island and what a unique and special place it is. It’s an island connected to the mainland by a floating bridge so even getting there is unique! There’s a lot of history to this accommodation and the family that own these properties are lovely.

On the island itself, there are two properties of which the Old Fishing Station is one. There is a private rear garden where the hot tub is located and a shared front patio area where you can sit and watch the sunsets.

The property is comfortable and cosy and its location makes it a unique and unmissable stay. Of course, given the floating bridge you can’t take your car across to the island but your hosts will be happy to help you transport your belongings across to stay.

If you are looking for a real sense of getting away from it all then Dry Island is a great choice.

(There is WIFI at the fishing station which is great, but you do need to take your own towels).

The Old Fishing Station is located on the gorgeous West Coast of the Highlands around 70 miles away from Inverness.

Highland Cottages with Hot Tubs

5. Highland Hot Tub Retreat 2

£683 – £1350

Up to 2 dogs

1 King size bedroom

PT Note;

I’m lucky enough to have visited these gorgeous luxe holiday lodges/pods just recently. The location is just amazing, perched on top of a hill at the entrance to the Cromarty Firth. The accommodation is really nice furnished, well equipped and very well thought out.

There’s everything you need to enjoy a great holiday including dishwashers and all the lodges take dogs too. The igloo type design gives them an interesting and unique feel. There are 4 lodges on site and they all take dogs too. The owners are lovely and great hosts as well. Ross-Shire is a stunning part of the Highlands (perhaps I am biased because I live there) but it is also a little quieter than some other parts of the Highlands so it really is the perfect place to retreat and relax.

Highland Hot Tub Retreat 2 is located in an absolutely stunning position giving you a chance to enjoy the amazing views from this hilltop pod.

Whilst the pod is compact it has been well furnished and equipped with everything you need for a great stay, including a nice wood burner for cosy evenings and of course a hot tub out on the deck!

Given a pod of dolphins live in the area around the cliff you should have a good chance of sighting them. There is also some history right on the doorstep – gun emplacements built on the hill on the order of Winston Churchill who flew the area in a biplane in preparation for the Second World War. He felt Cromarty Firth was a great deep water harbour for ships but felt the entrance to the firth needed added protection.

Nigg is a great spot to enjoy. There is a lovely sandy beach at the bottom of the hill where this accommodation is located.

Nearby Balintore has a convenience store, pub, community centre with a cafe and another lovely sandy beach as well as some great walks.

There is an RSPB reserve nearby as well as Tain and Glenmorangie distillery, as well as Dornoch with its golf course and large sandy beach.

Highland Hot Tub Retreat 2 is a great spot if you want to combine stunning views with walks, and it gives you a chance to discover a real gem in the Highlands, Ross-Shire, which is perhaps less well known.

7. Highland Cottages with Hot Tubs – Gollanfield

£1154 to £2304

1 dog

1 double bedroom

2 twin bedrooms

Gollanfield is set in a really lovely location, overlooking Loch Linnhe. That’s the loch you can see from the hot tub shown above.

Gollanfield is located close to the dramatic Glencoe, which has a lovely visitor centre telling the history of this important and scenic place.

Heading North from Gollanfield is Fort William, which is the outdoor activities centre of the Highlands. There are all sorts of things to do round and about, not least taking the cable car up to the top of Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest mountain.

Gollanfield has everything on the ground floor. It is decorated in a simple home style with a nice deck and patio table for enjoying dining outside.

It’s ideal for walking given there is access to the edge of the loch via a path from Gollanfield.

Previous guests have commented on the spectacular views from the hot tubs, with dogs enjoying the sandy beach by the loch too.

Gollanfield is a great highland cottage with a hot tub if you are looking to visit the Fort William and Glencoe area.
