Mingulay is a Scandinavian whole log lodge , which sits on an elevated south facing site overlooking Loch Sunart, one of the most scenic areas in the U.K.
The house sits on a 12 acre estate assessed by a private road, known as Seaview Grazings , a lightly wooded hillside rising from the shores of Loch Sunart. The estate is the perfect haven for wildlife, visitors will wake to the sound of bird song and many have been lucky enough to spot our resident pine martin, roe deer and most special of all the rare wildcat that has been with us this last year.
Guests can walk down the estate and cross the road to be greeted by a large beach on the shores of Loch Sunart , here you will see oyster catchers and herons. at low tide it makes a wonderful walk and is heaven for dogs to charge around on ! If you want to see some more wildlife, a short drive to the head of the loch may reward you with the sight of playful seals and a sea otter basking in the sun.
Mingulay is only 0.5 miles from the centre of Strontian, a short walk along the shore will bring you, to post office, shops, pub, hotels, pottery, cafe and Library. The village is set around a village green centered around a magnificent copper beach. The perfect place to relax with tea & scones from the cafe.
