the wreck and ruin
Set on the shores of Loch Broom, just outside the picturesque Highland fishing village of Ullapool, the Ruin offers a quiet, high-quality secluded break. Set on a working croft, the stone walls and turf roofing offer an experience of traditional Highland life in a comfortable setting. Views of sea birds, dolphins, seals, and sea eagles, beach walks, and Summer Isle sunsets make this a special destination. Opened in 2023, these newly built properties have been designed to reflect the character and culture of the traditional bothy and black houses that have populated the highlands for centuries, and the owners still work a croft alongside the property and have made every effort to make these properties as welcoming and comfortable as can be. The utility room entry offers a washing machine, tumble dryer, and fridge freezer. The bathroom has a fabulous walk-in shower, washbasin, toilet, and bath. The main space is an open plan, divided between a living area with a comfy sofa, table, and TV, a fully fitted bespoke kitchen that offers an induction hob and oven, a microwave, a traditional basin, and a working area. Set back and divided from the living area, a large comfortable kingsize bed, bedside cabinets, and lights offer a quiet peaceful sleep along with a selection of Scottish books and literature for all tastes. Outside, there is seating set just above the shoreline where visitors can sit watching the abundant marine life of the Wester Ross Marine Protected Area, working fishing boats out at sea and the ferry passing as it sails for the Hebrides from Ullapool - or even have a cast fishing or take a dip wild swimming in the clean seas of Loch Broom. There is also a mooring available for a boat at the properties which is available on request and seasonal. A mile outside Ullapool, and its thriving local shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants, we are set just off the NC500 and offer an ideal base for exploring the northwest Highlands, taking boat trips to the Summer Isles,
