The stunning Birdhouse

From our arrival through to our departure, The Birdhouse surpassed our expectations. It's beautifully designed and it's in an amazing location. Kristen and Gregor are perfect hosts, super friendly and helpful. There are lots of stunning walks and scenery to explore in Applecross Bay. I highly recommend a stay and hope to return to The Birdhouse one day.

Prima huis. Was wel aan de prijzige kant, maar in dit deel van Schotland is alles wel wat duurder.Je kunt er prachtig wandelen en er is weinig toerisme. Beetje onontdekt gebied. Aanrader.
