Little Hill of my Heart
Bed and breakfast accommodation in Applecross 

On the west coast of Scotland there is always the temptation to rush on to see another place another view. Why not park up the car and spend a few days enjoying the special peace and tranquillity of Applecross?

Separated from the rest of the world by the Bealach na Ba ( Pass of the Cattle) rising to over 200feet. Applecross is unspoilt by commercialism and "attractions", -really it is how the Highlands used to be. It has always been a special place, it was a  centre of Celtic Christianity, its Gaelic name means " the Sanctuary", which the dictionary defines as a sacred place and a place of refuge.

Many of our guests have stayed to enjoy amongst other things:

the archaeology ~ we have a Broch ( ancient fort) and the oldest Neolithic site in Scotland;

the wildlife ~ otters, buzzards, sea eagles, deer, pine martins as well as a wide variety of sea birds and gulls. Seals, porpoises and Minke whales can be seen off shore. In September the coast is visited by up to six basking sharks;

the photography ~ as well as the wild life Applecross has some stunning scenery, with hills, woodlands and seascapes with an infinite variety of lighting conditions and moods.

the walking ~ there are numerous marked trails around the peninsula to suit every level of energy and ability, varying from longer treks and mountain ascents, to sheltered easy walks for a rainy day.

the welcome ~ local people are open, willing to help and interesting to talk to. Some of our guests commented they knew more people in Applecross at the end of their week's stay than they did in their own village.

There are many reasons to linger in Applecross, indeed the longer the stay the harder it is to leave.  For another view of Applecross click below, but please note the is no need to fill up the car in Lochcarron we have our own  reliable fuel station selling fuel at competative prices.
