Croft Cottage was fully refurbished in 2023 and offers visitors to the Ullapool area the opportunity to stay in cosy and contemporary bed and breakfast accommodation in a stunning location on a working croft. The house was originally home to Julian’s grandparents, Roddy and Mary Boa, and his mother, Christine, and her siblings who moved to Croft Cottage from nearby Isle Martin where they ran the flour mill in the 1940s. More recently, Croft Cottage was used as a holiday home with families returning year on year to enjoy this wonderful spot with many happy memories being made. In 2022, we returned to Croft Cottage to live and work. Embracing the old Gaelic word ‘còsagach’ meaning ‘snug or cosy’, we wanted to create a warm and relaxing bed and breakfast from which guests could enjoy the ever-changing sea views towards Isle Martin and the Summer Isles. A full renovation and extension of the house took place in 2023, taking Croft Cottage back to its original state before upgrading it to create the high-quality guest accommodation we have today.

Croft Cottage has been thoughtfully and tastefully renovated to offer guests an unforgettable stay in the North West Highlands. All our bedrooms have breathtaking sea views, luxurious beds and well-appointed en suite bathrooms with rain showers. Our king-size bedroom can accommodate families or small groups and has a generous bathroom with a bath for guests who enjoy a relaxing soak. A full breakfast prepared with local produce is served every morning in our panoramic sun lounge. Watch the ever-changing sight of Ben Mor Coigach, a table-top mountain, whether it be snow-covered, blanketed in cloud or bathed in golden sunlight. Combining the traditional features of the house with elements of contemporary design, we have used natural paint colours, soft cotton linens and wooden details to give all our bedrooms a warm and homely feel. Our bathrooms have been designed with comfort in mind with soft luxury cotton towels and warm, cosy underfloor heating. Nestled into the hillside amongst fields scattered with sheep and our own roaming hens, it is only a short walk to Ardmair’s impressive, curving pebble beach with spectacular sunsets during the summer months and a chance to glimpse the incredible Northern Lights in winter. Guests often see an abundance of wildlife nearby including seabirds, seals, otters, pine martens and deer. The pretty fishing village of Ullapool is just a short drive away.

Croft Cottage is located in Ardmair, near Ullapool, with stunning views out across Loch Kannaird towards Isle Martin and the Summer Isles which shelter Ardmair from the stormy Atlantic waves. Enjoy spectacular sunsets that silhouette the islands during the summer months or catch a glimpse of the incredible Northern Lights above Ben Mor Coigach on a clear winter’s night.
