The house is light, spacious, comfortable & family friendly with 3 bedrooms. It has great living space, a peat /wood burning stove and spectacular views of Loch Sunart and the surrounding hills. It is nestled near the sea loch, half way between the villages of Strontian and Salen. It's unique location makes it the perfect Highland getaway for exploring the unspoilt Ardnamurchan area, sightseeing, hiking, wildlife watching or relaxing while admiring the stunning scenery from the deck or sunroom. Camusaine has a wonderful location with fantastic views. It was built in 1998 on the site of the original ruined croft house and was designed to showcase great sea loch and hill views. It looks out to a large bay which is a few minutes walk away, which our kids have loved to explore when the tide is out and paddle around the bay in a canoe when the tide in. We love to just relax; admire the view and appreciate a spot in the world away from everything! Camusaine is the name of the croft and the house. The croft land covers 75 acres surrounding the house. Most of the croft land is given over to natural woodland regeneration.The house is fairly remote. There is one other cottage located in the bay area. The house is ideal for those who love the outdoors and are happy to spend sometime away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Inside space: The house was built in 1998. It is furnished with a blend of the past and present. It has a comfortable holiday home feel about it. The house has an open plan kitchen /dining area with wooden floors leading to a comfortable living room and sunroom. The master bedroom is down and there are two further bedrooms upstairs. There are three WC's which is always handy. There is plenty of room for three couples or a family of 5 and grandparents downstairs! There is a fenced in garden for kids to play to the front of the house.

Upstairs there are two roomy bedrooms with sloped ceilings each with two single beds and built in wardrobes. One of the bedrooms has a trundle bed which can be used to sleep three, though space will be limited if the trundle bed is used. We would only recommend children in this room if the trundle is used.(Please advise if you need to use it so we can make up the trundle bed). There is also a small third room upstairs which can accommodate a travel cot (cot supplied on request with no bedding). There is a WC with a shower upstairs. Guests upstairs can also use the WC downstairs adjacent to the bottom of the stairs. Kitchen We have a large fully equipped kitchen with open plan eating area/ living area and peat/wood burning stove. There is room for 6 to seat comfortably around the kitchen table. Seating 7 would be a cosy fit around the table and would require taking chairs from elsewhere the house. ( There are folding chairs in the porch cupboard.)The kitchen has an electric cooker, microwave and coffee maker and dish washer. There is a washing machine in the back porch with plenty of space for boots and to hang jackets. Feel free to borrow the wellington boots there to explore the bay.

What a find, this place is a gem. Holidayed here with my sister and her family. There was plenty of room for the seven of us, the kitchen is very well equipped and the surroundings are beautiful. We saw white tailed sea eagle and pine marten from the sun room - a great space to watch wildlife whilst avoiding the midges!! Looking forward to staying again in the future. Thank you Fiona and Ian for sharing this special place with others and for making it so homely.
Lovely, cosy home, much bigger than the photos suggested. Our family of five fitted in with plenty of space to run about and hang out. Everything we needed to feel at home. Gorgeous loch views - and a nice place to paddle and swim (take a wetsuit in winter!) Garden was a great size and the fence/gate meant it was safe to let the kids run wild. Just a brilliant spot to spend time as a family in a beautiful part of Scotland. Highly recommend the private boat tour with Andy at Ardnamurchan Charters and bike hire from Tim at Strontian Camping. Also sun set chips and beers on the Loch at Strontian Hotel.
The croft is in the Ardnamurchan area, which is the most Westerly point on the British mainland. It is a spectacular area that is full of ancient oakwood, wildlife, white beaches and spectacular scenery. The croft itself is located on a Site of Special Scientific Interest - the Sunart ancient Oakwoods renowned for wildlife such as otters and pine martin. The area was further confirmed as a Special Area of Conservation under the EU habitats directive in 2001.
The house is situated just off the single track road A861 which runs along the North banks of Loch Sunart near the start of the Ardnamurchan peninsula. It is located just about 4 miles along the road from Strontian and 4 miles from Salen. Strontian is the biggest village in the area and is near the head of Loch Sunart. It is a fairly remote location but Strontian has two food shops and a petrol pump. There are also hotels and restaurants in Strontian and Salen and their vicinity. We normally stock up with grocery supplies at the Tesco supermarket at Fort William before we visit.
There are many wonderful half day and day trips you can make from the house exploring the area. You could catch a ferry to the Isle of Mull, drive to Fort William to see the sights, spend some time at the singing sands beach near Kentra or take a walk at the Ariundle Center just outside Strontian which is a National Nature Reserve.
For hill walkers Beinn Resipol, which is a Corbett, is just a couple of miles along the road. There are several other Corbetts and other interesting hills nearby and plenty of Munros across the ferry including Ben Nevis not too far away. For wild life watching you can walk along the road from the house to the Garbh Eilean Wildlife Hide to watch the seals which bask on a small island in the loch. If you love Scottish castles, a visit to Castle Tioram is a must.
Harry Potter fans will want to take a steam train trip on the West Highland line to Mallaig (booking recommended).
To get to Ardnamurchan and the Croft we recommend that you take the Corran ferry to Argour otherwise you can take the scenic car route which is approx one hour longer. As of April 2023 the large car ferry is not operating as the ferry is undergoing repairs. However there is a smaller car ferry which may be running if operational.Please check the Highland Council website for up to date information.
You will need a car to get around the area. Please take care on the single track roads if you are not used to driving on them. Please use the passing places provided to let faster vehicles pass. Car hire is available at Fort William. Fort William can be accessed by train on the West Highland line.
