Our location has great panoramic views out over the sea and Summer Isles. The views change with the light from hour to hour but will never fail to impress! Gables Cottage has a garden to appreciate the views, smells, sense and sounds all around. The sunsets and even occassional northern lights can be amazing! We are surrounded by beaches, hills, coast, mountains - some well known such as Staic Pollaidh and Suilven. No matter what your level of activity, there is plenty to see and do.

13 November, 2020Gables Cottage is the best holiday house that we have stayed at in the 30 odd years that we have been coming to this area.The kitchen is particularly well equipped... read more and the sitting room and bedrooms are most comfortable.
The views over the sea to the Summer Isles from the sun room and the garden are breathtaking especially when the sun is going down.
We would recommend the Am Fuaran pub,"Salt," the seafood kitchen and the Piping school cafe for eating out and the Achiltibuie Stores for every other need.
We highly recommend Gables Cottage and we are grateful to Linda, the owner, who has thought of everything to make this holiday cottage perfect. We hope to return.

4 September, 2016We love the Achiltibuie/Polbain area (our second visit) with such amazing scenery. We are outdoors people so spent our time exploring the area. It has everything beaches, walks, fishing ,mountains... read more and a few great local restaurants with local seafood. Or you can cook yourself after buying from the weekly fish van. The cottage is very cosy and well appointed. Beds comfortable, decent bath and separate shower. The kitchen has everything you need and Linda had even left the table made (with proper napkins - that's a first) and a gift of jam. The weather was warm (although lots of rain) and we spent most of our time when we were at the cottage in the conservatory which has stunning views over the Summer Isles. When the weather was nice we used the garden which was also enclosed (meaning our dog could roam around).
