Introduction

 The small crofting 'township' of Big Sand has an enviable coastal location with panoramic views. A fine stretch of safe, sandy beach is within 10 minutes walk from the property. Heather Croft apartments are situated on a five acre croft with immediate access to open countryside and local archaeological trails. The apartments have their own garden areas adjacent to private entrances. A Calor gas BBQ, table and chairs are provided for your convenience. Those with an interest in animals can meet our select rare breed group - Jocky the Clydesdale and a goat herd.

The village of Gairloch, three miles away, has additional attractions and activities. The award winning Creel Restaurant and the Old Inn are highly recommended for eating out. There is river and loch angling, sea fishing, whale watching trips and other excursions with local wildlife experts. Gairloch has an idyllic shoreline, golf course and pony trekking in the wooded Flowerdale. Instruction in mountaineering, rock climbing, sailing and canoeing are available for the intrepid. Local cycle hire, slipways and Inverewe Gardens may add further dimensions to your holiday.
