Mathesons Croft House

Set in a secluded position overlooking Loch Alsh this original croft house has reen refurbished by the present owners. Beautifully restored and retaining much of its original character the property has reclaimed wood floors throughout and oil fired central heating for those autumn and winter nights. The owners have blended the old with the new and the house is furnished with an eclectic mix of modern and more traditional styles of furniture.

Downstairs guests will find a traditional layout with a central hall, still retaining to this day the original varnished wood linings and staircase. Off this hall is situated the lounge, tastefully decorated with comfortable armchairs and sofa, this room also benefits from a real fire, ideal for those nights relaxing after a day exploring. To the other side of the hall is situated the kitchen and dining area. A couple of features of this room are the bright red Rayburn cooker and the feature wallpaper. The kitchen is well equipped and has all the usual kitchen items expected. The owners have installed the latest music system in the downstairs rooms so that guests with ipods, MP3 players or a laptop, can simply plug in and listen to their own music through the built in speakers in either or both of these rooms, this also works with the TV with Freeview and Freesat HD, Blue-Ray and DVD player located in the lounge.

Upstairs guests will find two bedrooms, both south facing with views towards the loch. The bedrooms have cast iron fireplaces with pretty tile designs, stone hearths and wooden mantles. The twin bedroom has been furnished with traditional style cast iron beds and modern white painted furniture. The master bedroom has a double bed and again white painted wooden furniture and benefits from having a quiet reading corner, ideal for enjoying the views to the garden and beyond. Outside an enclosed garden has garden furniture and views across Loch Alsh and towards Loch Duich and the renowned Eilean Donan Castle. The castle is probably the best known of all Scotland’s castles and has featured in many feature films.
