Ach na skia is a small croft situated about a mile north of the village of Arisaig, where the road sweeps down towards the sea with spectacular and constantly changing views of the islands of Eigg, Rum and Skye and close to sandy beaches.
This is a great place to catch the spectacular sunsets. All around are fields with horses, sheep and cattle and to the rear looms the rocky outcrop of Creag Mhor.
The local golf course is 1.5 miles away, Arisaig railway station 1.4 miles, bar and restaurant just 200 metres away. There are grocery shops in Arisaig and Mallaig (7 miles away).

|
 Glen Mhor Lodge |
 Lodge bedroom |
The Lodges have great views, even when you're sitting down, because of their elevated position and low lounge windows. They are spacious and comfortable with excellent insulation, so they are cosy at any time of year. Although externally semi-detached they were built totally separately apart from roof and exterior walls so that no sound carries from one to another. Heating can be operated as central heating or by individual heater. Electricity on £1 coin meter. Use of Games room, sauna and play area. Close to the field and play area.
All properties are double-glazed.
Cots, high chairs, DVD and video player are available on request.
