Eilean Shona nestles in a tranquil loch on the dramatic west coast of Scotland and is a car free wilderness heaven. Days are filled with cooking and drinking around camp fires, wild swimming, reading, hiking, picnicking, kayaking, nature watching, and generally pottering about.

The cottages are perfect for romantic escapes or family adventures and were rated some of Britain’s Top Holiday Cottages by The Sunday Times.
